| Aaron Ralston is a 27 year old who loves adventure. He takes off one Saturday to climb in some remote canyons in Utah. This is nothing out of the ordinary for Aaron as he is an avid outdoorsman; however, what is not ordinary for Aron is he fails to tell anyone where he is going.
As a boulder loosens under Aron's feet, he tumbles with it until it lands with his right hand caught between the boulder and canyon wall. Aron knows he is in deep trouble as this is such a remote place. For five days, he trys various ways to free his hand and realizes in order to survive, he must cut off his own arm. He has a movie camera and videos his thoughts and actions for the five days he is contemplating this action. | ||
