Synopsis: When stubborn farmer, Dan Evans (Ven Heflin), attempts to bring wanted criminal, Ben Wade (Glenn Ford) to the authorities in Yuma and collect the reward, he's in for quite a challenge. Desperate,... When stubborn farmer, Dan Evans (Ven Heflin), attempts to bring wanted criminal, Ben Wade (Glenn Ford) to the authorities in Yuma and collect the reward, he's in for quite a challenge. Desperate, the captive criminal offers the poor farmer $10,000 to set him free. While waiting for the train, the two men engage in a brutal battle of wills and as Evans eludes Wade's gang of miscreant thugs, he must fight his own moral battle and catch the 3:10 to Yuma. A poignant and chilling western, 3:10 TO YUMA evokes more thought and emotion with its timing and clever scripting than most traditional shot gun-riddled Westerns ever achieve. Director Delmer Daves teams up with pulp writer Elmore Leonard (who would go on to script GET SHORTY and JACKIE BROWN) to deliver this sharp and biting western classic. [More]

Reviews for 3:10 to Yuma
It's nice to have Delmer Daves's solid western on DVD, even this special edition is just a throwaway portion of its remake's promotional machine.
Although it didn't receive any major awards, 3:10 To Yuma is considered one of the best westerns of the 1950s.
Set during a drought in the empty, parched West, this is a film defined by emptiness and dust, its players alone and vulnerable in the eerie landscape.
The so-called 'special edition' DVD (that's what it says on the disc, anyway), doesn't exactly include a huge collection of extras.
One of the best of the late '50s Westerns, and is about as handsome as the b&w Western ever got.
