Exploring Utah - Follow In The Footsteps Of Aron Ralston

127 Hours has been one of the best movies to grace the big screen so far in 2011 as Danny Boyle returned to the director's chair.

He brought to life the story of Aron Ralston, an extreme sports enthusiast who got trapped in Blue John Canyon in Utah when a trek went wrong.

Aron is in the middle of a routine climb when a boulder suddenly becomes dislodged just above him crashing onto his arm and leaving him trapped in solitude inside a dark, isolated canyon.

Over the next five days Ralston does everything he can to prolong his life while wrestling with hunger, thirst, flashbacks and hallucinations.

James Franco took on the role of Ralston in the movie - going on to pick up a Best Actor Oscar nomination for his performance.

A journalist and cameraman took on the challenge to visit Utah and see where Aron Ralston had to fight for his life.

127 Hours is released on Blu-ray and DVD o 6th June 2011.
