Movie Summary

In Arizona in the late 1800's, infamous outlaw Ben Wade (Crowe) and his vicious gang of thieves and murderers have plagued the Southern Railroad. When Wade is captured, Civil War veteran Dan Evans (Christian Bale), 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. On the trail, Evans and Wade, each from very different worlds, begin to earn each other's respect. But with Wade's outfit on their trail – and dangers at every turn – the mission soon becomes a violent, impossible journey toward each man's destiny.


Movie Reviews

The consensus of Rotten Tomatoes critics is that the remake of this classic Western improves on the original, thanks to fiery performances from Russell Crowe and Christian Bale as well as sharp direction from James Mangold.

Roger Ebert gave 4 stars for Mangold's version is better still than the 1957 original, because it has better actors with more thought behind their dialogue.

    The device is certainly worth considering, even at the full
    retail price and with only a $200 discount on the
    contract, it might make sense to consider paying
    the full retail. 1 is Samsungs replacement of the original Galaxy Tab 10.
    It is priced at around $399 with a 2 year contract and $599 without one.
