Ralston made headlines in 2003 when he amputated his right forearm with a pocketknife to free himself after a boulder that dislodged and trapped him inside a Utah canyon. The film begins at a furiously kinetic pace, one you would be hard pressed to find in an action film. Lots of deep breathing and over done focus on a chap stuck down a hole.
