A “Must See” Movie • “127 Hours” follows the true story of Aron Ralston (James Franco), a young man who loves hiking and canyoneering. But on this particular trip into Canyonlands National Park in Utah, things go wrong. After meeting and spending some time with a couple of cute female hikers, Kristi (Kate Mara) and Megan (Amber Tamblyn), Aron goes his separate way. As he gets to the bottom of a canyon, completely alone, a boulder falls and pins his arm to canyon wall. He tries to scream for help, but nobody is around. He tries to chip away at the boulder, but it won’t budge. He tries to cut through his arm, but realizes he will never be able to get through the bone. He is alone and stuck with very little food or water — and he hadn’t left a note or a message with anybody to let him know where he was going. • CLICK HERE TO RETURN TO THE TABLE OF CONTENTS
