While little is known about the plot of this science fiction thriller from producing mastermind JJ Abrams, the film still has fans eagerly awaiting the release so the mysteries surrounding the film may finally be solved.

127 HOURS (2010)
While exploring a remote canyon in Utah, mountaineer and adventurer Aron Ralston (James Franco) becomes trapped when a boulder falls on his arm. Over the next five days, Ralston examines his life and considers his options, leading him to an agonizing choice: to amputate his arm so that he can extricate himself and try to make his way back to civilization or remain pinned to the canyon wall and likely die. Based on Ralston’s book, “Between a Rock and a Hard Place.”

GRAVITY (2013)
Here the hero is trapped in the infinite vacuum of despair, a despair brought on by her own over-analyzing mind which has imposed subjective value judgments on the difficult and painful occurrences in her life. And living in the world of cerebral thought as she does, she has forgotten how to appreciate the divine bliss of having one’s primal needs generously met—for air, food, health, safety, and survival itself.
