Synopsis for 127 Hours:
As gut-wrenching as it is inspirational, 127 Hours unites one of Danny Boyle's most beautifully exuberant directorial efforts with a terrific performance from James Franco. 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 isolate canyon in Utah. Over the next five days, Ralston examines his life and considers his options, leading him to an agonizing choice: to amputate his arm so that he can extricate himself to make his way back to civilization or to wait for possible help.
"127 Hours — just like Slumdog Millionaire — is a masterful slice of four-star cinema, featuring an irresistible performance by James Franco, breathtaking cinematography, and the kind of deep, searching soul that is absent from so much of what comes out of Hollywood." —New Orleans Times-Picayune
"Only a truly visionary filmmaker could take a story largely set in a cramped canyon and give it a sense of openness and hope." —Claudia Puig, USA Today
"Mr. Boyle has a knack for tackling painful, violent or unpleasant subjects with unremitting verve and unstoppable joie de vivre." —A.O. Scott, The New York Times
"It's exciting, stirring, often funny, sometimes lyrical and unusually thoughtful. And, with that one egregious exception, genuinely pleasurable." —Joe Morgenstern, Wall Street Journal
"In the end, 127 Hours is one man's incredible, unforgettable journey; it took the extraordinary alchemy of Boyle and Franco to also make it ours." —L.A. Times
