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]

Urban Cinefile Critics

The film is something of a classic and boasts a terrific ending.

A-

Steven D. Greydanus

Although not as nerve-wracking as High Noon, 3:10 to Yuma is even more claustrophobic… and the two-character drama is more intriguing than High Noon's protagonist standing alone.

Nick Schager

No amount of climactic train smoke can mask the fact that the finale is fancifully optimistic gibberish.

The new 3:10 to Yuma will have to be quite a film to stand up to the original.

4.5/5

Rory L. Aronsky

The minutes tick toward 3:10, and all we can do is watch and hope that it all turns out ok. That's the best kind of Western, one that allows feelings like that to emerge while watching.

Though it is masterful in stretches, it ultimately mistakes feel-good qualities for truly satisfying ones.

An enjoyable western that's an excellent reminder of how - in the world of movies - sometimes less is best.

During the 1950s, the Western grew a conscience.

That the climax fizzles must be laid on doorstep of Halsted Welles, who adapts Elmore Leonard's story quite well until that point.

A-

Emanuel Levy

Made in the vein of The Gunfighter and High Noon, this mature psychological Western is arguably Delmer Daves best film, featuring Van Heflin (in the Gary Cooper role) and Glenn Ford as the bad-good guy at their most appealing and accomplished.

Donald J. Levit

The enjoyment here that outweighs the film's derivativeness comes in the dialogue and relationship developed between outlaw and rancher.

Bosley Crowther

This is a first-rate action picture -- a respectable second section to High Noon.

Tom Milne

It's of necessity a talkative film, with Ford working on Heflin's nerves in a stream of Machiavellian banter, but one held in perfect balance by Daves, who keeps the tension strung taut.

7/10

Chuck O'Leary

A taut Western (obviously inspired by High Noon) about a lone man bravely standing on principle when all others have abandoned him. Marred only by a phony ending.

It's rather talky but always remains lively and tense.
