3:10 to Yuma
In Arizona in the late 1800s, infamous outlaw Ben Wade and his vicious gang of thieves and murderers have plagued the Southern Railroad. When Wade is captured, Civil War veteran Dan Evans, struggling to survive on his drought-plagued ranch, volunteers to deliver him alive to the "3:10 to Yuma", a train that will take the killer to trial.
Critics Sentiment
Evans and Wade make their way through Contention under fire
Wade boards the 3:10 train completing Evans's mission
The film peaks during the tense final walk to the train (9.2) but drops significantly in the controversial ending (6.1), a swing of 3.1 points.
The film maintains strong audience approval throughout most of its runtime, with particular praise for the performances of Russell Crowe, Christian Bale, and scene-stealer Ben Foster. The sentiment peaks during the expertly crafted action sequences and character moments in the final act, but takes a notable dip in the controversial ending which divided critics on its believability. Despite some plot hole criticisms, most reviewers found it an engaging, well-acted western that successfully updated the classic genre.
