3:10 to Yuma (1957)
3:10 to Yuma (1957), a classic American Western film, was directed by Delmer Daves and starred the talented Glenn Ford and Van Heflin. It is based on a short story by Elmore Leonard and tells the gripping story of Dan Evans, a struggling rancher in the Arizona Territory during the 1880s. Evans and his sons witness notorious outlaw Ben Wade and his gang robbing a stagecoach, but when one of the robbers is overpowered, Wade coldly takes matters into his own hands. As they make their way to Mexico, the robbers stop at a saloon in Bisbee for drinks, unaware that Wade has already alerted the town marshal about their crimes. The marshal quickly assembles a posse, while Wade sends his men across the border for safety before rejoining them later.
Meanwhile, Dan Evans and Mr. Butterfield, owner of the stagecoach company, join forces with the lawmen as they head back to the saloon. Charlie Prince, Wade’s second in command, returns to Bisbee just before the posse arrives back in town. In a clever move, Evans distracts Wade long enough for the marshal to sneak up behind him and arrest him. After being shot in the hand, Prince manages to flee on horseback in order to reunite with the rest of his gang. The marshal then calls for two individuals to accompany Wade to Contention City, where he will board the 3:10 train to Yuma and face trial. To entice volunteers, Butterfield offers a payment of $200, leading Dan and a drunken member of the posse named Alex Potter to offer their assistance.
