127 Hours ─ Between a Rock and a Hard Place

活下去，
有時是比死亡更艱難的決定！

〈貧民百萬富翁〉金獎名導丹尼鮑伊執導
電影〈127小時〉原著小說

一個觸動人心的冒險故事
一個拒絕等死的求生經歷
在進退維谷的絕境裡
唯有勇氣與希望才能自救
 
這是發生在2003年的真實故事。桀傲不遜的年輕登山家艾倫˙羅斯頓，在一段峽谷獨攀的優閒旅程之中，不慎被一顆從天而降的三百十公斤巨石，砸中右臂，整個人被壓在峽谷的石縫中，歷經長達127小時生不如死的恐懼經歷。

在地球表面最狹窄的岩縫裡，艾倫像螞蟻一樣微不足道。更致命的是，過於自信的他甚至沒有讓任何人知道他的行蹤，沒有人會知道他正身陷困境、亟需救援！

身邊僅剩一把便宜的摺疊小刀、些許吃剩的墨西哥捲餅、六百五十毫升的水以及…被巨石壓爛的右臂！
 
該怎麼脫困？還是放任自己成為狹縫中的乾屍？
當死神逐漸逼近，艾倫不得不做出最果斷的決定……

On Saturday, 26 April 2003, Aron Ralston, a 27-year-old outdoorsman and adventurer, set off for a day's hike in the Utah canyons. Eight miles from his truck, he found himself in the middle of a deep and remote canyon. Then the unthinkable happened: a boulder shifted and snared his right arm against the canyon wall. He was trapped, facing dehydration, starvation, hallucinations and hypothermia as night-time temperatures plummeted. Five and a half days later, Aron Ralston finally came to the agonising conclusion that his only hope was to amputate his own arm and get himself to safety. Miraculously, he survived.

BETWEEN A ROCK AND A HARD PLACE is more than just an adventure story. It is a brave, honest and above all inspiring account of one man's valiant effort to survive, and is destined to take its place among adventure classics such as TOUCHING THE VOID.
