SYNOPSIS

The film tells the story of mountaineer Aron Ralston who went through hell on his climbing expedition. Ralston's right forearm got pinned for nearly five days under a boulder during a climb in Utah in May 2003. He used a dull knife to amputate the limb, then scaled a 65-foot sheer wall and hiked out before running into a family that gave him water and food. He was finally rescued by helicopter.
