3:10 to Yuma is a 1957 Western film directed by Delmer Daves, starring Glenn Ford, Van Heflin, and Felicia Farr.Dan Evans (Heflin) is a cattle rancher in the Arizona Territory of The Wild West sometime in the latter 19th century. His ranch is not doing very well, mostly due to a three-year drought that is slowly killing off his cattle. There are tensions at home, as his wife Alice (Leora Dana), who came from money, is growing weary of their hardscrabble life.While driving his remaining cattle back to his ranch along with his sons, Evans encounters a gang of bandits led by the notorious outlaw Ben Wade (Ford) robbing a stagecoach. Wade lets Evans and his boys go, but kills the stagecoach driver and absconds with the gold it was transporting. The gang rides to Bisbee, but Wade is captured when he lingers in the town to enjoy a roll in the hay with barmaid Emmy (Farr). A $200 reward is offered to whoever will escort Wade onto the eponymous train to Yuma, where he will be held for trial, and Evans volunteers — but Wade's men are on their way back to free their leader.Based on the short story "Three-Ten to Yuma" by Elmore Leonard. In 2007 a remake with the same title came out, starring Russell Crowe and Christian Bale in the roles originated by Ford and Heflin.

Dirty Coward: Bob Moons comes to kill Wade when Wade is alone and handcuffed in police custody, but when later asked to join the posse that's going to confront the bandit gang, Bob begs off. Then everyone in the posse except for Alex abandons Evans when the gang shows up.

I Owe You My Life: Evans, through sheer bravery and some lucky breaks, makes it to the train station alive, with Wade. But Wade's gang finally corners him at the train tracks. As the train starts to pull away, Charlie Prince tells Wade to duck, so they can shoot Evans and free him. Instead Wade tells Evans to get on the train with him, and they both jump into a baggage car. As the train pulls away a shocked Evans asks Wade why. Worthy Opponent is clearly a factor here, but Wade also says that he saved Evans' life because Evans saved Wade's life when Ben Moons barged into the hotel room and tried to kill him. (Also, Wade remains confident that the gang will liberate him at some later date.)

Patience Plot: Dan Evans joins a posse transporting the captured outlaw Ben Wade to prison, mostly because Evans needs the reward money to save his struggling ranch. They arrive at Contention City and hole up at a hotel, waiting for the 3:10 train to the Yuma prison. Much of the film is Wade and Evans' back-and-forth as they wait in the room, with Wade tempting Evans to just let him go.

Honor Before Reason: The rest of the posse has fled. Alex has been killed, leaving Evans alone. Mr. Butterfield, whose gold was stolen, says Evans is under no obligation, and even offers to pay him the $200 anyway. Dan's wife shows up and begs him to quit, telling him to forget about her prior complaining about their hard and poor life. Dan refuses to bail out, telling Alice that Alex Potter died so that people could live peacefully and decently, so he's honor bound to do the same.

Crazy-Prepared: The sheriff and his posse devise a careful plan in which they will send off a decoy stage to lure the bandits in the wrong direction while Dan and Alex take Wade to the Yuma train. Wade later reveals that it's standard procedure for his gang, if one is captured, to send scouts to everywhere their man might be taken, in order to find him and summon the rest of the gang. Charlie Prince is in Contention City, and he finds Wade.

Being Good Sucks: Wade voices this opinion throughout the film. Noting that Evans works so hard for so little, barely able to provide for his family and forced to become a hero for only a meager increase in profit. Evans seems to agree that being good isn't necessarily rewarding, but he'll be good anyway.

Men of Sherwood: The local posse members who help arrest Wade and set up a Decoy Convoy to divert his gang survive the movie, as do the men hired to guard a hotel room in another town, closer to the eponymous train, although the latter group decide to flee rather than do their jobs. note  Both groups get a Death by Adaptation in the 2007 remake.

comment
Sympathy for the Hero: Wade feels increasingly sympathetic to Evans, noting he's just a normal guy who works hard for little reward and risks his life and sticks his neck out long after others would quit. His sympathy for Evans, ultimately leads him to co-operate with his arrest and take the train ride to Yuma.
