James Franco gives a stirring, Oscar-nominated performance as Aron Ralston, the gutsy outdoorsman who found himself trapped under a boulder while hiking alone in a Utah canyon. As hours turn into days, Aron embarks on a personal journey in which he relies on the memories of family and friends — as well as his own courage and ingenuity — to turn adversity into triumph. With time running out, his only chance to stay alive is to amputate his own arm… Time: Just the right amount
