Synopsis:
Jack Albertson is a retired railroad worker whose dream of crossing the country in a hot air balloon is encouraged by his grandson, who decides to go along for the ride despite the misgivings of his widowed mother whose plans to remarry have left him disenchanted. This light-hearted family adventure was filmed in 1978, accounting for the appearance in the starring role of Albertson, who had died in late 1980.
