Touch of the Sun

127 Hours is the story of Aron Ralston, who survived a canyoneering accident by cutting off his own arm after being trapped for 5 days. The film stars James Franco (as Ralston) and is based on the Aron’s book, Between a Rock and a Hard Place.

127 Hours is beautifully directed by Danny Boyle and still has a 93% on Rotten Tomatoes. If you’re squeamish, not to worry. The eventual “arm scene” is not as brutal as you might think, and you’ll be caught up in the harrowing adventure of this man’s transformation and survival.
