Aron Ralston (Franco) is a mountain climber who becomes trapped in a narrow canyon when a large boulder pins his arm. Almost the entire film takes place in this small space as Ralson thinks back over his life and desperately tries to find a way out of his life-threatening situation.
Aside for a short appearance by Kate Mara and Amber Tamblyn early in the film, and a small selection of actors seen in flashbacks, Franco is alone on-screen in darkness for almost the entire film. And it's his Academy Award nominated performance that makes 127 Hours a must-see.
The Blu-ray includes deleted scenes, a digital copy of the film, a behind-the-scenes featurette on the making of the film, a look at the real Aaron Ralston, and commentary by Danny Boyle, co-writer Simon Beaufoy and producer Christian Colson.
127 Hours is definitely worth seeing. If you've got a strong enough stomach to watch it repeatedly you may want to buy the film on Blu-ray, but I'd recommend renting the movie and at least watching it once. Those who enjoy films filled with tension and strong performances shouldn't mind being trapped with Franco for a couple of hours.
