Official Synopsis

127 HOURS is the true story of mountain climber Aron Ralston’s (James Franco) 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 is finally rescued. Throughout his journey, Ralston recalls friends, lovers (Clemence Poesy), family, and the two hikers (Amber Tamblyn and Kate Mara) he met before his accident. Will they be the last two people he ever had the chance to meet? A visceral thrilling story that will take an audience on a never before experienced journey and prove what we can do when we choose life.

What We Learned:

• James Franco can meet hot women wherever he is in the world.
• Having a devil-may-care attitude is a nice philosophy, until it catches up to you.
• Having a strong will to live is an inspiring thing.

Why We’re Gonna Watch:
It took some time but a movie based on Ralston’s ordeal finally happened. Danny Boyle’s movie resume remains impressive. Even when SUNSHINE fell into a slasher film trope we remain a fan of Boyle. After reading Aron Ralston’s harrowing tale on Outside Online we knew a movie was in his future. It only took 6 years for Hollywood to jump on it.

When’s it coming?
A limited release on November 5th.
