127 hours

James Franco stars in director Danny Boyle's inspirational story of survival based on the incredible true story of Aron Ralston, who became trapped alone in a Utah crater for days after falling on a weak rock, and resorted to extraordinary measures in order to make it out of his drastic crisis alive. A veteran hiker and climber, Ralston (Franco) is very much in his element when he parks his truck near Moab, UT, hops on his bike, and peddles to the middle of nowhere. Later, when Ralston comes across a set of young female hikers who have gotten lost while looking for for a local landmark, he jovially shows them a sight that most casual hikers miss before bidding them goodbye and continuing on his way. Going through the canyons alone, deep in thought, however, the explorer who assumed he was ready for anything suddenly discovers just how fast things can spin out of control when a rock gives way as he falls down a crevice, and pins his hand to the unforgiving wall of stone. Over the course of the next 127 hours, Ralston tries everything he can think of to free himself, remembering small but very memorable events in his life -- as well as forward to the future that he might enjoy should he manage to escape -- as his body begins the slow process of shutting down. Finally realizing that the only way out is to leave part of himself behind, the exhausted, delirious adventurer draws his cheap multi-tool, and does what it takes to survive.
This movie is extremely inspirational a must-see for anyone with a strong stomach.
