Rancher Dan Evans heads into Bisbee to clear up issues concerning the sale of his land when he witnesses the closing events of a stagecoach robbery led by famed outlaw Ben Wade. Shortly thereafter, Wade is captured by the law in Bisbee and Evans finds himself one of the escorts who will take Wade to the 3:10 to Yuma train in Contention for the reward of $200. Evans's effort to take Wade to the station is in part an effort to save his land but also part of an inner battle to determine whether he can be more than just a naive rancher in the eyes of his impetuous and gunslinging son William Evans. The transport to Contention is hazardous and filled with ambushes by Indians, pursuits by Wade's vengeful gang and Wade's own conniving and surreptitious demeanor that makes the ride all the more intense.
An honest, hard-working farmer agrees to assist in escorting an outlaw to a distant town in exchange for money to pay off his debt and start a new life. Hidden motives are revealed as the two partake in an ever-evolving game of cat-and-mouse.
In this remake of the 1957 Western, a rancher escorts an outlaw to a train so he can collect a bounty. Bale is pretty good as the rancher determined to complete his mission. Crowe is OK if underwhelming as the outlaw, never quite believable as a man of the West. Fonda is fine as a crusty old bounty hunter. The original was well made but was marred by an unsatisfying ending. The good news is that this remake changes the ending. The bad news is that it is even more unsatisfying. In fact the ending is nonsensical. The plot has also been expanded from the original, losing some of the tension in the process. If nothing else, the filmmakers should be applauded for keeping the genre alive.
Well, I was confused of what was going on during the first twenty minutes and kept waiting for the picture to "start." After the picture got to the main part of the story (which seemed to take forever) I began to realize that this movie took itself a little too seriously. There were far too many overly dramatic closeups with pretentious music . The editing was unnecessarily quick but the movie still moved at a snail's pace. Finally, after suffering through almost two hours the ending proved to be totally unsatisfying and unbelievable (the evil Crowe character, who was totally without any redemption throughout the entire film changed to a "good" guy almost instantaneously).
This film is an example of a Western that ought to appeal to a healthy-sized contemporary audience, and is also a remake of the 1957 film of the same name, which is a hallmark of the type of psychological Western.
