What they share
Theysit in Drama / Western territory. If that's the register that drew you to Rio Bravo, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What 3:10 to Yuma is
Contention, Arizona. Midday heat. A stagecoach robbery gone wrong. Impoverished rancher Dan Evans agrees to deliver captured outlaw Ben Wade to the authorities for hanging. The assignment becomes a cat-and-mouse game of morality as Wade’s vicious gang closes in. A cynical, tight little film from a director better known for melodrama.
