A visually stunning, emotionally resonant adventure about an elderly widower and a young boy discovering meaning, connection, and wonder through travel and friendship.

Carl Fredricksen spent his entire life dreaming of exploring the globe and experiencing life to its fullest. But at age 78, life seems to have passed him by, until a twist of fate (and a persistent 8-year old Wilderness Explorer named Russell) gives him a new lease on life.
