The Black Balloon is an Australian dramedy film directed by Elissa Down and written by her and Jimmy Jack. It revolves around Thomas Mollison (Rhys Wakefield), a fifteen-year-old boy whose older brother Charlie (Luke Ford) has autism and ADD. Their mother Maggie (Toni Collette) is expecting another child, and their father Simon (Erik Thomson) insists on bed rest, meaning that Thomas has to take on a lot more responsibility than usual. At his new school, he falls in love with Jackie Masters (Gemma Ward), and although Jackie is accepting of Charlie, Thomas still worries that he'll get in the way of their relationship. | |

School Play: At the end of the film, the family (including Jackie) watches Charlie perform with Russell in a school play based on Noah's Ark, down in their local special school, where they portray two monkeys. However, Russell has a meltdown whilst performing, and after a disagreement between the two backstage, Russell pulls out and Thomas volunteers to take over the role for Charlie's sake. Together, he and Charlie perform an outstanding act. | |

The Speechless | |
| The Black Balloon (2007) / int_92a61707 | comment |
The Speechless: Charlie was verbal as a small child, but now he can only make approximations of some words, like "kuh"note "monkey" and "no." He communicates mostly through sign language. | |

Tantrum Throwing: In one scene, Charlie throws a tantrum in the supermarket checkout after his dad is forced to put a few bits of shopping back due to not having enough money. After his dad drags him out in frustration, Thomas gets really embarrassed at this display. Later, after the meltdown, when Thomas angrily threatens him with no stars, he gets so upset that he throws a stool through the window. | |
