The film tells the story of Bertrand Picard and Brian Jones\u2019 extraordinary attempts to be the first to travel around the world in a hot air balloon in 1999.\u00a0 It\u2019s a rollicking adventure story, but at the film\u2019s heart is Brian\u2019s relationship with his wife, Joanna, and the tension in Picard and Jones\u2019 relationship &#8211; built on trust and mutual respect &#8211; between two very different people. We wanted to represent the fun, the heart and the tension musically, while keeping a through line of adventure and the nerve and bravery of attempting to succeed at this legendary Last Big Adventure.&#8221; &#8211; <em>Nick Foster &amp; Sam Thompson<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>THE COMPOSERS: <\/strong>Nick Foster is a multiple BAFTA-winning composer of music for television, film and games.
