For the first time in Russian - an amazing international bestseller based on a real-life survival drama, the basis of a new film nominated for six Oscars by Danny Boyle, the famous director of such hits as Trainspotting, The Beach, Slumdog Millionaire ( eight Oscars 2009); The main role was played by James Franco. Aaron Ralston worked as an engineer at Intel, but sacrificed a prestigious job and a high salary to satisfy his all-consuming passion for wild nature and inaccessible mountains. Having settled in the picturesque state of Colorado, he set himself an unprecedented goal - in the winter, to conquer all 59 Colorado peaks exceeding 14,000 feet alone, as well as to climb the highest mountains of all states in the country. And then one day, taking a break from preparing to climb Alaska’s McKinley Peak (the highest peak in North America), Aron went to the desert state of Utah to ride a bike and climb canyons. There, in a narrow gorge, a heavy boulder rolled onto him, pinning his right arm to the wall. 127 hours - this is how long Aron will spend in a stone trap, with virtually no water, food or sleep. There is no particular need to rely on rescuers - after all, no one knows where exactly he went; lifting a boulder is impossible; it probably weighs half a ton; What remains - to try to amputate the arm yourself?..
