To escape the pressures of redevelopment and honor their adventurous spirit, Carl attaches thousands of balloons to his house, transforming it into a makeshift airship. His destination: Paradise Falls, a majestic South American landscape Ellie always dreamed of visiting.
Unbeknownst to Carl, a young Wilderness Explorer named Russell becomes an accidental stowaway on his journey. Together, they embark on an extraordinary adventure filled with unexpected challenges and whimsical encounters. They navigate treacherous terrains, encounter talking dogs, and face a notorious explorer with a hidden agenda.
Through their journey, Carl learns to embrace life’s unexpected turns and discovers that adventure is out there, even at the age of 78. He forms an unlikely bond with Russell, who helps him rediscover the joy and wonder that he thought he had lost forever.
