From Academy Award-winning director Danny Boyle comes the powerfully uplifting true story of Aron Ralston, starring James Franco.

Aron Ralston (James Franco) has a passion for all things outdoors. But when a falling boulder traps him in a remote Utah canyon, a thrill-seeker’s adventure becomes the challenge of a lifetime. Over the next five days, Ralston embarks on a remarkable 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.
