127 Hours is a grim retelling of Aron Ralston's true life story as a mountain climber trapped by a boulder wedged under his arm in a deep Utah canyon. Left to his own devices and with very few resources, this mountaineer is embroiled in five days of epic fights both physically and psychologically, calling upon hallucinations and flashbacks to cling on from despair. The movie ends with a life-or-death move to cut through his arm to free himself.
