What's left behind the scenes
- Felicity Jones and Eddie Redmayne actually ascended in a hot air balloon to a height of 8,000 feet (approximately 2.4 km).
- The flight in the film is shown in real time.
- James Glaisher (1809-1903) was an English meteorologist and aeronaut. Between 1862 and 1866, he repeatedly ascended in hot air balloons, measuring temperature and humidity at various altitudes. Together with second pilot Henry Tracey Coxwell (1819-1900), on September 5, 1862, they set a new world record for altitude. Coxwell is not in the film; instead, there is a fictional character, Amelia Ren. The image of this heroine incorporates features of some real women of that era – for example, Sophie Blanchard (1778-1819), the first professional balloonist.
- In 1785, Jean-Pierre François Blanchard (1763-1809) demonstrated the use of a parachute when jumping from a hot air balloon basket. In his early parachute demonstrations, he used dogs, but he later recounted that he had used the parachute himself when the balloon's envelope suddenly tore during flight. Blanchard died from injuries sustained after falling from a hot air balloon basket when he suffered a heart attack. His wife, Sophie, continued his work. She died on July 6, 1819, when her hot air balloon caught fire in flight, and she crashed from a height onto the rooftops of Paris, and then onto the pavements below.
- During filming, Eddie Redmayne injured his leg and was in a cast and using crutches for some time.
- The hot air balloon actually took off from Wolverhampton, not London, as shown in the film. Concerns were taken into account that it might fall into the river if it took off from London.
