People walked out, were sick and fainted when they watched the premiere of the new Danny Boyle film: 127 Hours.

Ralston becomes trapped when his hand is crushed by a boulder, in a remote canyon in Utah, were he told no one he was going. Aron remarkably was able to survive for five days in this condensed space, with limiting food and water, until he finally cut his arm off.

James Franco( Harry Osborn in the Spiderman Saga) plays the adventurous climber and portrays his thrilling tale magnificently.
