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?

This movie is in my top 50 and it deserves it. Being a scout I've always been interested in survival and stuff like that so this film ticked all the boxes for me. When I first watched this film I felt as though I was watching the real Aron Ralston trapped under that rock, it was very realistic. Its so accurate that even Aron himself said so. Furthermore James Franco's performance in this film is outstanding it was as if in it he was cutting his own actual arm off.
I would recommend this to anyone who has seen and enjoyed films like alive and other survival films. Also don't watch the end bit unless you have a strong stomach.
