This dramatization directed by Danny Boyle is about Aron Ralston (played by James Franco), a hiker who accidentally got pinned by a rock while hiking. Ralston did not tell anyone where he was going when he went trekking Blue John Canyon in the state of Utah. A totally freakish accident occurs when Ralston falls down into a narrow passage dislodging a boulder that ends up pinning his arm against the wall and traps him there. With no way to move the rock, Aron makes the best of the situation while trying to decide what to do. He records a daily message on his camcorder with the thought that in all probability he will die stuck there. Survival instincts do kick in and he decides that to get out of there he will have to find a way to cut off his arm. With nothing but a dull blade, it doesn't look like that is a very viable option.
