127 Hours
dir. Danny Boyle · 2010
In moments of extreme adversity, individuals can discover their inner strength and the value of their connections to others.
"127 Hours" is a harrowing exploration of survival against the odds, where the human spirit is tested in the face of isolation and despair. With visceral intensity and profound introspection, it invites viewers to confront their own limits and the essence of life itself.
127 Hours is the true story of mountain climber Aron Ralston's remarkable adventure to save himself after a fallen boulder crashes on his arm and traps him in an isolated canyon in Utah. Over the next five days Ralston examines his life and survives the elements to finally discover he has the courage and the wherewithal to extricate himself by any means necessary, scale a 65 foot wall and hike over eight miles before he can be rescued. Throughout his journey, Ralston recalls friends, lovers, family, and the two hikers he met before his accident. Will they be the last two people he ever had the chance to meet?
