Probably the best movie I've ever seen. On of the most horrible, sad and happy movies, all at the same time. This movie really got me thinking, and that it's based on a true story is just greater. The movie is about the mountain climber Aron Ralstone (played by James Franco) and when he 2003, while canyoneering gets stuck between a boulder and the canyon wall. It's about his fight for survival. He didn't tell anyone where he was going and he knew that no-one would search for him.

127 hours, more than five days, with barely any water, any hope and he is assumed he is going die. Eventually he ran out of water. He carved in his name in the rock and date of birth with his pocket knife in the canyon wall and videotaped his goodbyes to his family. He prepares to amputate his arm, but realizes that he would never be able to cut trough the bones with just his pocket knife. But in the end, he survives. But free from the rock dosn't mean its all over. He is still out in the middle of nowhere, no cellphone, dehydrated and risk bleeding to death, 27 kilometers from his vehicle..
