About 3:10 to Yuma

Dan Evans (Van Heflin), a drought-plagued Arizona rancher, volunteers to take captured stagecoach robber and murderer Ben Wade (Glenn Ford) from Bisbee to Contention City, where the criminal will be put aboard the 3:10 train to Yuma for his trial. Accompanied only by the town drunk, Alex Potter (Henry Jones), Dan battles Wade's henchman (Richard Jaeckel), the murder victim's revenge-minded brother, and the temptation of the large bribe Wade offers in exchange for his freedom. In 2012, the film was added to the Library of Congress National Film Registry. [92 mins; western, drama; English]

"Distinguished by its thoughtfulness regarding the nature of Western heroism, as defined not only by dead-eye gunplay, but by family, community, and moral rectitude." – Criterion

"Daves isn't interested in cynicism. Redemption is probably too big a stretch as well, but there's plenty of room in between." – Christopher Long, Movie Metropolis
