Based on the true story of climber Aron Ralston, this new picture starring James Franco documents the adrenaline junkie’s cavalier lifestyle and struggle for survival after his arm becomes trapped behind a boulder whilst out in the Nevada desert.

Ralston became famous in 2003 when he was forced to amputate his own hand in order to free himself from the boulder, having been trapped there for almost 5 days. Despite his ordeal, he has since returned to climbing, using an artificial pick to surmount peaks across the globe.

‘127 Hours’ comes from director Danny Boyle who has brought us stunning films for over a decade (‘The Beach’, ’28 Days Later’, Trainspotting’, ‘Slumdog Millionaire’) and so we hope that this next project will be just as fantastic as his others.

This film is closing the 54th London Film Festival on October 28th – we’ll get it in cinema’s on November 5th.
