http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OlhLOWTnVoQ From Wikipedia... In May 2003, hiker Aron Ralston (James Franco) is trapped in an isolated canyon after a fallen boulder crushes his arm while he is hiking in Utah. Over the next six days, Ralston examines his life and survives the elements before amputating his own arm to free himself from the boulder. Ralston then rappels 100 feet and hikes over eight miles before he is finally rescued. During the screenings at Telluride Film Festival, two people required medical attention. At the first screening, an audience member suffered from lightheadedness and was taken out of the screening on a gurney. During a subsequent screening, another viewer suffered a panic attack. It is unknown as to whether or not the "amputation scene" was the cause of the incidents.[14] Similar reactions were reported at the Toronto International Film Festival. Wikipedia of the actual survivor, Aron Ralston... In 2003, while he was on a hiking trip in Blue John Canyon (near Moab, Utah), a boulder became dislodged, crushing his right forearm and pinning it against the canyon wall. Ralston had not told anyone of his hiking plans and knew no one would be searching for him. Assuming that he would die, he spent five days slowly sipping his small amount of remaining water while trying to extricate his arm. His efforts were futile as he could not dislodge his arm. He eventually ran out of water and began to drink his own urine, carved his name, date of birth and presumed date of death into the sandstone canyon wall, and videotaped his last goodbyes to his family. After five days of trying to lift and break the boulder, the dehydrated and delirious Ralston prepared to amputate his trapped arm in order to escape. He forcibly levered his forearm against a chockstone until both the radius and ulna bones broke. Using the dull blade on his multiuse tool, he then cut the soft tissue around the break. He used the tool's pliers to tear at the tougher tendons. Although he never named the manufacturer of the tool other than to say it was not Leatherman, he did describe it as "what you'd get if you bought a $15 flashlight and got a free multi-use tool".[4] After freeing himself, he was still eight miles from his stick shift truck, and he had no cellular phone. He had to rappel down a 65-foot (20 m) sheer wall, then hike out of the canyon in the hot midday sun. While hiking out, he encountered a family of three on vacation from the Netherlands who gave him water and two Oreo cookies. They then alerted the authorities. He was ultimately rescued by a helicopter search team. His arm was removed from under the boulder and retrieved by park authorities. It was cremated and given to Ralston. So, anyways. Who is going to watch this movie? I really want to but, the fact that a few people fainted or had to leave the theater is kind of freaky, and it's supposedly one of the most gruesome scenes ever, including horror movies. But... I so want to watch this, so what do you think?

I'm pretty sure I heard about this in the news a while back. It's all based on a true story right? Might be worth giving a look...
