Jules Verne's "e;Five Weeks in a Balloon"e; from 1865 combines all of them successfully.

Their main goal is to study the then-called "e;dark continent"e; Africa which few knew anything of.

The mission is not without obstacles as they have to experience windless days, face conflicts with natives and even try to escape a military army.

Will the balloon take them safely home or their expedition will be doomed to failure?

Is their perseverance and determination enough to find work-arounds or there are higher powers watching over them?
