Ralston told film blog Flicks and Bits in 2010 that it was a vision of his future son that saved his life and helped him decide to cut off his own appendage and survive the ordeal. The film was nominated for six Academy Awards, including Best Picture. In 2010, the story was made into a movie, '127 Hours,' starring James Franco. He wrote a best-seller about his ordeal titled, Between a Rock and a Hard Place.
Ralston, an experienced outdoorsman with a background in mechanical engineering, was canyoneering alone in the remote canyon when the mishap occurred. Ralston made headlines in 2003 when he amputated his right forearm with a pocketknife to free himself after a boulder that dislodged and trapped him inside a Utah canyon.
