Synopsis

Aron Ralston, un experimentado excursionista de veintisiete anos, emprende un solitario paseo por un remoto y estrecho canon de Utah, cuando una roca de mas de trescientos cincuenta kilos se desprende y le aplasta la mano y la muneca derecha contra la pared del canon. Ademas del dolor terrible al que se ve sometido, Aron se da cuenta de que ha quedado completamente atrapado. Nadie sabe donde esta; nadie vendra a rescatarlo. Le queda agua y comida para pocas horas mas. Su unica herramienta es una navaja de bolsillo. Sus opciones se agotan una a una. En la quinta noche, presa del delirio y de escalofrios incontrolables, Aron grava su propio epitafio en la pared de roca, convencido de que ya no volvera a ver la luz del dia. Sin embargo, al dia siguiente tiene una idea terrible y salvadora: si pudiera usar la roca para partir los huesos de su brazo, tambien podria amputarselo usando la navaja como un bisturi. Convertida en una exitosa pelicula dirigida por el oscarizado Danny Boyle y protagonizada por James Franco, 127 Horas es la historia real y estremecedora de una asombrosa hazana de supervivencia, narrada con el pulso de un thriller psicologico, asi como un testimonio de primera mano de los extremos a los que un hombre puede llegar para salvar su propia vida. / In Utah canyonlands on a warm Saturday afternoon, eight miles from his truck, in a deep and narrow slot canyon, Aron was climbing down off a wedged boulder when the rock suddenly, and terrifyingly, came loose. Before he could get out of the way, the falling stone pinned his right hand and wrist against the canyon wall. And so began six days of hell for Aron Ralston.
