True story of a mountain biker/hiker who falls into a slot canyon in remote Utah and has his hand pinned under a giant boulder. He spends the next 5 days trying to get it loose, talking to his camera, reviewing video of the two pretty girls he just met, conserving food and water. Eventually he starts hallucinating and decides to just cut his arm off. Nothing is left out in these excruciating, gruesome scenes. Danny Boyle's flamboyant style is ill-suited to the subject matter, featuring a loud soundtrack, fast editing and over-saturated colors.
