December 4, 2019

Starting Friday, Dec 6, the Rehoboth Beach Film Society’s Cinema Art Theater will present “The Aeronauts,” a biographical drama about a pilot and a scientist who find themselves in an epic fight for survival while attempting to make discoveries in a gas balloon.

In 1862, daredevil balloon pilot Amelia Wren (Felicity Jones) teams up with pioneering meteorologist James Glaisher (Eddie Redmayne) to advance human knowledge of the weather and fly higher than anyone in history. While breaking records and advancing scientific discovery, their voyage to the very edge of existence helps the unlikely pair find their place in the world they have left far below them. But they face physical and emotional challenges in the thin air, as the ascent becomes a fight for survival. 

Screening times are 4 and 7 p.m., Friday, Dec 6; 4:15 p.m., Saturday, Dec 7; 2 p.m., Sunday, Dec 8; 4 p.m., Wednesday, Dec 11; and 7 p.m., Thursday, Dec 12.
