Synopsis
Carl Fredricksen has 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. The unlikely pair encounters wild terrain, unexpected villains and jungle creatures.
