127 Hours is a biographical adventure film directed by Danny Boyle. It stars James Franco as Aron Ralston, a mountain climber who becomes trapped in a slot canyon in Utah in 2003. While solo hiking, Ralston falls and his arm becomes pinned under a boulder, leaving him stranded for over five days.
As he realizes that no one is coming to save him, Ralston begins to take extreme measures to free himself and survive, including amputating his arm with a dull knife. The film is a suspenseful and visceral account of his grueling ordeal.
127 Hours was highly acclaimed upon its release in 2010, receiving six Academy Award nominations, including Best Picture and Best Actor for Franco. The film was praised for Boyle's inventive direction and Franco's gripping and intense performance.
The movie is based on Ralston's memoir, "Between a Rock and a Hard Place," which details his experiences during the incident. The real-life Ralston has continued to climb and explore, even with his prosthetic arm, and has become a motivational speaker, inspiring others to push beyond their perceived limitations.
