“Certified Fresh” on Rotten Tomatoes with an 89% critics’ score, the 2007 3:10 to Yuma remake is available to stream on Peacock as of September 1st. The film is a remake of the 1957 Western classic of the same name and based on a 1953 short story by Elmore Leonard. The story centers on a moral battle of wills between Russell Crowe’s Ben Wade, a captured outlaw who terrorizes 1800s Arizona, and Christian Bale’s Dan Evans, a war veteran turned rancher who volunteers to escort him to the train station, where he’ll board a train to prison. The epic modern-day western was directed by James Mangold, who a decade later directed Marvel’s Logan.
Why You Should Watch 3:10 To Yuma
With a $71 million worldwide gross total against a $55 million budget, 3:10 to Yuma wasn’t the biggest box office success, but the movie was one of the best released in 2007 and remains one of the best Westerns of all time. An incredibly successful remake that added depth to the original story and characters, Mangold’s 3:10 to Yuma explores the line between right and wrong through the dynamic between its two central characters, presenting a film that is a character-focused story rather than a purely action-driven Western, meaning even viewers who aren’t typically fans of Westerns can easily enjoy it.
