Unless you are a fan of Russell Crowe or Christian Bale or love Western, you may conveniently miss it. Ben Wade (Crowe) is a famous outlaw. Dan Evans (Bale) on the other hand is an impoverished rancher and Civil War veteran who is seeking some honor.
Upon Wade's capture, Evans joins a group of men to deliver him for arrest on the 3:10 to Yuma
. The movie is about Wade's attempt to flee and Evan's resolve him to deliver. Both fight and save each other from different difficult situations. Finally, emotionally attached Wade helps Evans redeem his honor.
Usually, I would have cried, but I kept wondering why did everyone have to go through so much difficulty. Either the concept of encounter killing was unknown in that period or common sense was missing. Despite the fact that Wade kills two of the group during their journey, he still has almost complete freedom. Were people so naive, then.
The movie has received positive ratings, I am not sure why. Watch it without any expectations.
