Ever had your arm trapped beneath a boulder in the middle of rocky wilderness? Few among us have. By few, we mean Aron Ralston. There may be others, but it's Ralston's 127 hours of isolation and pain down in a crevasse, hidden away from rescue, that makes up the emotional and gut-wrenching film that is Danny Boyle's 127 Hours. It features a stellar performance by James Franco and it's out on DVD. If you've seen it and are reluctant to buy a copy or never have and want to see it, then you're in luck. JustPressPlay is giving away three copies on DVD.
Unlike in past contests, to win 127 Hours there's one extra step than you'd normally find in a JustPressPlay giveaway. So before you just leave a post on our Facebook wall - make sure to leave a note on the 127 Hours Inspiration Wall.
Official press blurb and summary:
From the Academy Award®-winning director of Slumdog Millionaire, Danny Boyle, and starring James Franco in a “tour de force performance” (Associated Press), comes one of the most “triumphant and enthralling” (Rolling Stone) movies of the year. Nominated for six Academy Awards including Best Picture and Best Actor (Franco), 127 HOURS is an edge-of-your seat cinematic experience that recounts one man’s harrowing story of survival.
Based on true events, 127 Hours follows Aron Ralston, a dare-devil outdoorsman who gets trapped under a boulder while canyoneering alone in the Utah mountains. As hours turn into days, Ralston embarks on a personal journey in which he relies on the memories of family and friends – as well as his own courage and ingenuity - to turn adversity into triumph!
