127 Hours tells the story of Aron Ralston, who became trapped by a boulder in Blue John Canyon in Utah for more than five days in 2003. Aside from a few minutes at the beginning and end of the film, and several quick flashbacks, most of the film is spent alone with Aron in the isolated canyon. At over 90 minutes, one could fairly worry that this might get a bit boring, but director Danny Boyle utilizes editing and cinematography magnificently, so that the film actually speeds along at a fast, claustrophobic pace. As Ralson, James Franco gives not only the best performance of his career, but one of the best performances of the year.
