Academy Award nominee Felicity Jones has proved to be at home in every film genre, from

period dramas to action adventures. All of her skills come into play in "The Aeronauts,"

as daring balloon pilot Amelia Wren battles 19th-century social norms on the ground 

— and the merciless elements aloft.
