A remake of the classic 1957 western, 3:10 to Yuma follows Dan Evans (Christian Bale), a small-time rancher whose family has hit some difficulties regarding their land. Meanwhile, an outlaw named Ben Wade (Russell Crowe) and his gang are terrorizing the area. When Wade is captured, Evans finds himself in town as plans for Wade’s transport are being made.
So, Evans volunteers to escort Wade to the “3:10 to a Yuma,” a train that will bring Wade to trial. However, the journey proves more difficult as Wade’s gang is hot on their trail and Evans faces a number of other obstacles along the way.
