Frightening & Intense Scenes

Severe
121 of 154 found this severe
The film is meant to show the horrors of being alone in a deadly situation, and the tale is about how Aron Ralston spent 127 hours struggling to get out of a canyon after his arm gets pinned by a boulder. This is all shown accurately and in full vivid graphic detail, and the film gets more and more intense as it progresses until the climax.
A few emotionally intense moments.
Aron and two young women go spelunking, steadying themselves in a crevice. Aron purposely lets go, causing him to fall into a pool of water far below, and the others have an alarmed reaction to it. After realizing that Aron is safe, the young women fall in after him.
Aron seems to become delirious at some points. Some may find this unsettling.
Aron has to drink his own urine at some point, in order not to dehydrate. He almost vomits.
