Aron Ralston is an adrenalin junkie, and as any self respecting pleasurer of the �oh, that�s a bit extreme!�, he�s full on tearing it through Utah's Canyonlands National Park when one leap too far leaves his arm pinioned by a bolder in a barren crevasse.

A superb performance by Franco (and a cracking soundtrack) help pull this minimalist film through; tight find out more...

Certification15 Our Rating

Made in 1984 this terrifying indictment of post-war Britain was particularly poignant at the height of the Thatcher era without sidestepping any of the issues.
