Adventure in Five Weeks in a Balloon Watch Free

It is 1862 in England. The Jupiter, a manned balloon with a unicorn-shaped gondola, falls from the sky during its maiden flight. Passenger Sir Henry Vining (Richard Haydn) and his treasurer (Ronald Long) scream in horror. However, Professor Fergusson (Cedric Hardwicke), the balloon’s inventor, remains calm, as he planned on giving a dramatic demonstration showing the balloon’s controls. On his signal, pilot Jacques (Fabian), ascends the balloon using a pressure gauge that ensures no loss of gas or ballast. Traumatized by their “near-disaster”, Sir Henry, head of the Royal Geographic Society, and his treasurer refuse to fund Jupiter’s exploration of East Africa, and walk out on the professor after landing.

The Unexpected Journey

American publisher Cornelius Randolph comes to the rescue: He will back the venture if his star reporter and nephew, Donald O’Shay (Red Buttons), joins the crew. Unbeknownst to the professor, who is told by Randolph that O’Shay is an “inoffensive young man”, O’Shay is notorious in the press for his troublesome antics as a playboy.

Challenges and Triumphs

As they encounter mishaps throughout the journey, O’Shay is often held accountable. They blame him for putting the balloon in the path of attacking natives, and releasing its anchor, causing it to drift away. Finally, the crew considers whether they need two American witnesses for their expedition. Finding Susan to be less troublesome, they decide to hand O’Shay over to passing Arab nomads. However, as they descend, O’Shay spots a sandstorm, forcing them to immediately reverse their course.

The Race Against Time

They reach the Volta River first, but the scimitar rips from the balloon and causes it to descend until they empty out all the cargo. As the balloon approaches a bridge, the crew spot the slave traders, who shoot at their balloon. To gain lift and destroy the bridge with the balloon’s anchor, they climb into its crow’s nest and release the balloon’s gondola. This wipes out most of the slave traders, but not their leader, who continues attacking. The balloon finally hits the water close to where the river flows into an enormous waterfall.
