127 Hours is the true story of
mountain climber Aron Ralston's remarkable adventure to save himself.
Aron Ralston and James Franco
On Saturday, April 26th,
2003, mountain climber Aron Ralston from Colorado, USA, went hiking in Canyonlands
National Park in south east Utah, USA. That afternoon, a boulder fell and
trapped his right hand against the canyon wall. Aron was in a very difficult
situation – he had very little water, no warm clothing to protect him from the
cold nights, and almost no useful equipment to free himself. He had not told
anyone exactly where he was going. He knew that he wouldn’t be missed for days
and that a search and rescue operation might not find him in time, if ever. (Scholastic Ltd)
