127 Hours



"NO CALL IS A GOOD CALL" - MAY NOT BE GOOD EVERY TIME!
















A TRUE STORY of Ralston who is a climber and extreme sport enthusiast, who on one weekend goes on hiking at Canyon! He goes w/o telling anyone, no mobile, no connectivity either!

His date with destiny begins when he starts a dangerous canyon climb. He slips off and from there on a struggle to see another day begins!

He gets trapped; his arm gets locked, under a huge boulder.

At his disposal he finds small amount of food, water, a head torch and one pocket knife!

Whether to stay there till the last breath or to fight back and come out as winner is the choice which the character finally has to make!

The struggle in his movements to get out of the hell, the desire in his eyes to the see another day and the ultimate gratitude towards the almighty is well captured.

Hat's - off to Ralston whose ordeal finally ended on a good note!

After all - Three-and-a-half limbs out of four aren’t bad either.

Take away: asking for help, letting people know about plans isn't always a bad Idea!

  1. Sidhu.... I have some observation about this Film...
    I have seen this movie for single time.. But as a Technical trekker I found some Bugs in the film..

    First of all I like the movie and really hat-off for Real trekker in Real Life...

    Some Points which I observed as a viewer and Technical trekker, I am sharing with you...

    1. when he was on cycle he suppose to carry rope (which is at-least 5 KG) inside bag.. But bag looks so thine while he traveling on cycle...Does he really carry rope in his bag while shooting...

    2. When he hangup by stone and removed watch (SUUNTO) latter in one shot and placed on stone.. how does he able to wear it again by single hand latter in another shot...

    3. When you are facing -5 to -10 degree Celsius and your body part is blooding at that time after 48 Hours..color of the hand should be dark enough which was not in case of actor...
