12	->'''Ben Wade:''' So, boys - where we headed?\
13	'''[=McElroy=]:''' Taking you to the 3:10 to Yuma day after tomorrow.\
14	'''Tucker:''' Shouldn't have told him that.\
15	'''Wade:''' Relax, friend. Now if we get separated, I'll know where to meet up.

17	''3:10 to Yuma'' is a 2007 film starring Creator/RussellCrowe and Creator/ChristianBale.
18
19	DeterminedHomesteader Dan Evans (Bale) is going to lose his ranch in southern Arizona. A bad drought worsened by his creditor redirecting the river that ran through his land makes it nigh impossible to pay his mortgage, let alone afford his ill son's medication. His luck is about to change though, but for better or worse is hard to tell. Not far away, stage coach robber Ben Wade (Crowe) is pulling off another successful heist against a bank coach. Dan and his sons are witness to it, and manage to walk away alive ''and'' with [[AffablyEvil Wade generously compensating]] the loss of some cattle during the heist. Dan and his sons rescue one of the [[PinkertonDetective Pinkertons (private security and lawmen for hire)]] that survived and take him to town.
20
21	Wade goes to the nearby town to rest before regrouping and setting off again, but the local marshal sets an ambush and they capture him. This was the easy part however. Since the marshal needs volunteers to escort Wade to the railroad stop in the town of Contention, where he will be put on a train headed to Yuma for a trial, Dan volunteers in order to get the money to pay for his mortgage. The way to Yuma will be filled with dangers, orchestrated by Wade's [[TheCavalry gang]], and perhaps most dangerously, Wade himself.
22
23	This film was TheRemake of [[Film/ThreeTenToYuma1957 a classic 1957 Western]] starring Creator/GlennFord and Van Heflin, which was in turn a film adaptation of a short story of the same name by Creator/ElmoreLeonard (his first ever published work, in fact). Perhaps one of the best musical scores of the year 2007.
24
25	----
26	!!This film provides examples of:
27	* ThirteenIsUnlucky: There are 13 members of Wade's gang, counting Wade.
28	** Ben Wade
29	** [[TheDragon Charlie Prince]]
30	** [[ColdSniper Campos]]
31	** Sutherland (explosives expert, murders the decoy wagon passenger by burning him to death)
32	** Jackson (wears a furry waistcoat, doesn't think it's worth trying to free Wade)
33	** Nez (wears a poncho, referred to as an Apache)
34	** Kinter (killed by Dan in the town shootout)
35	** Jorgerson (large man with a poncho)
36	** Tommy Darden (held hostage by one of the stagecoach guards, gets shot by Wade)
37	** Tighe (blown up by Byron [=McElroy=] by a shotgun shell to his satchel of dynamite during the stagecoach robbery)
38	** Three others (killed during the stagecoach robbery)
39	* AccidentalHero: Near the end of the movie, Dan reveals [[spoiler: he was no hero during the war. When he lost his leg, not only was it his only battle, but his outfit was forced to retreat and he was the victim of friendly fire. Everything he does to get Ben Wade on the train to Yuma [[TheAtoner is to give his kids a dad they can be proud of.]] Ben is impressed enough by his honesty to [[FriendlyEnemy help him for the rest of the movie.]]]]
40	* ActorAllusion:
41	** Anyone who's seen ''Film/{{Serenity}}'' is going to find [[spoiler:the death of [[Creator/AlanTudyk Doc Potter]] awfully reminiscent of Wash's]].
42	** [[spoiler:Tucker's demise]] may remind viewers of ''Series/{{Lost}}'' of [[spoiler:evil mercenary Martin Keamy's death]].
43	* AdaptationExpansion: A textbook example. The remake reuses a lot of dialogue with many scenes being virtually identical, so much in fact that they gave the writer of the original a co-writer credit even though he died a long time ago. But the remake also adds a lot of content, expanding on several characters, adding more, fleshing out the journey, and changing the ending.
44	* AffablyEvil: Ben Wade, who is dangerously charming.
45	* AgentPeacock: Charlie Princess is [[AmbiguouslyGay more than a little]] mincing and effeminate, and it's fairly clear that his devotion to Ben goes beyond simple ''brotherly'' love. He's also [[AxCrazy an unhinged maniac]] and by far the most dangerous member of Ben's gang other than their esteemed leader himself.
46	* AlasPoorVillain: Despite being a murderous sociopath who kills indiscriminately, [[spoiler:Charlie]]'s death is a surprisingly poignant moment, when he's [[spoiler:shot in the heart by the only man in the world he loves, without [[EvilCannotComprehendGood really understanding why.]]]]
47	* TheAlcoholic: Potter in the original.
48	* AllForNothing: [[spoiler:Dan gets Ben on board the titular train only to be shot down by Charlie Prince moments later. It's then subverted when Ben guns down his entire gang before [[WhatYouAreInTheDark getting on board anyway.]]]]
49	* AmbiguouslyGay: Charlie "Princess" Prince in the remake. Definitely not helped by his shrill voice and lisp, immaculate dress sense, the way he struts and cat walks, the fact that he wears ''eye liner'', and his [[IgnoredEnamoredUnderling incredibly obvious crush on his boss.]] He's definitely sensitive enough about his masculinity that his response to being mockingly called "Charlie Princess" is to [[BerserkButton shoot the guy in a fit of rage.]]
50	* AntagonistInMourning: [[spoiler:Ben is so enraged by Charlie's execution of Dan that he kills his entire own gang in revenge, saving the last bullet for Charlie.]]
51	* AntiVillain: Ben Wade arguably straddles the line between this and the VillainProtagonist. Sure, he's a vicious thief and murderer willing to kill a man at the slightest provocation... but he makes no pretense of being anything better, he's almost completely honest with everyone he meets, and he has an incredibly strong code of honor and loyalty. In the end, he's gained enough respect for [[TheHero Dan]] that when his gang [[spoiler:guns Dan down, Ben furiously murders them all and then gets on board the train anyway.]]
52	* AnyoneCanDie: And they do, [[DwindlingParty one by one]]. By the end, the only major characters left are [[spoiler:Ben Wade, William Evans, and Grayson Butterfield.]]
53	* AssholeVictim:
54	** Not many viewers will weep for the violent and ruthless deaths of [[spoiler:Tucker, [=McElroy=], and eventually his own last remaining gang members]] at Ben Wade's hands.
55	** Likewise, not many would mourn the racist and moronic [[spoiler:Zeke's]] death at Charlie's hands.
56	* AsskickingLeadsToLeadership: Ben flat-out explains this to William Evans, saying that the only reason he can remain in charge of his gang is because he's "rotten as hell." [[spoiler:When Ben's had enough of his gang, he guns them all down in seconds before any of them get off so much as a single shot.]]
57	* BadBoss: Subverted. Ben is set up as a textbook example of this, shooting down one of his own men just for being dumb enough to get captured, and out of context, him eventually [[spoiler:killing all his surviving gang members after they've just helped him escape]] sounds [[UngratefulBastard pretty loathsome]]. In this situation, though, the audiences' sympathies are entirely with Ben, and his motives for doing so are perhaps... not so simple.
58	* BehindTheBlack: Dan really ought to be able to see the train from miles off, given the flat terrain and the fact that it's, ya know, a train. But it's kept off camera to make the finale more dramatic.
59	* BigNo: What Ben shouts immediately before [[spoiler:Charlie shoots Dan.]]
60	* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler:[[TheHeroDies Dan dies]], but not before getting Ben aboard the train (ensuring that his farm will be saved), earning his son's respect, and possibly even teaching [[HeelFaceTurn Ben a little humanity]] in the process.]]
61	* BlingBlingBang: Ben's coal-black revolver with the golden cross in the handle is a slightly more subdued example than most. It's also supposedly cursed for anyone else who touches it.
62	* BloodierAndGorier: Than the original. When people die in this one, they bleed, heavily. This also applies to the body count; five people die in the original while almost 50 people are killed in this version.
63	* BreakingOutTheBoss: This is the goal for Wade's men in the film.
64	* ChekhovsGun: Wade's gun is said to be cursed to anyone else who touches it. [[spoiler:Tucker]] takes it from him, and is killed by [[spoiler:Wade]]. The [[spoiler:railroad posse]] take it later, and are in turn killed by [[spoiler:Charlie Prince]]. At the climax scene after [[spoiler:Dan's death]], [[spoiler:Ben's gang pass the gun to him]], but only after ''every single one of them has touched it.'' Remember the curse?
65	* ChromosomeCasting: Dan's wife is the only woman of significance, and she's not in it much.
66	* CardboardPrison: After volunteering to help Dan do everything possible to get him on the train that will take him to Yuma prison, Ben Wade makes a little confession: he's already escaped from Yuma. Twice.
67	* CardCarryingVillain: Ben Wade has no illusions about what kind of man he is.
68	-->'''Ben:''' ''(to William)'' Kid, I wouldn't last five minutes leading an outfit like that if I weren't rotten as hell.
69	* ChineseLaborer: Ben Wade runs into a camp of Chinese railroad workers during an escape attempt, asking one of them to break his handcuffs. He gets captured by railroad enforcers before anything can come of it.
70	* ColdSniper: The "Mexican sharpshooter" in Wade's gang.
71	* CorruptCorporateExecutive: {{Averted\|Trope}}. Butterfield the banker isn't going to win any personality contests, but he was hardly a PointyHairedBoss or [[spoiler:willing to force Dan to fight suicidal odds in the end]].
72	* DarkerAndEdgier: Than the original, by quite a bit.
73	* DeathByAdaptation: [[spoiler:Dan, shot repeatedly in the back and chest by Charlie Prince.]]
74	* DecoyConvoy: The lawmen need to transport outlaw Ben Wade to the prison train without his gang freeing him. They make a big show of putting Ben Wade on a stagecoach, then secretly swap him with one of their own men-- leading Wade's gang off one way, while they actually take Wade on horseback the other way. Not that that manages to fool Wade's men for long.
75	* DecoyProtagonist: Dan Evans might be the ''hero'' of the movie, but don't be fooled, this is [[VillainProtagonist Ben's story]] all the way. Even the poster reflects it.
76	* DeathGlare: Ben Wade gives several in the movie. The most impressive one is probably [[spoiler:the one given to his whole gang after Charlie shoots Dan. The second Charlie sees the look, he starts reaching for his guns. It doesn't do him any good.]]
77	* {{Determinator}}: Both Ben Wade and Dan Evans.
78	* DeterminedHomesteader: Dan Evans.
79	* DirtyCoward: The man handling the prisoners on the 3:10 to Yuma flees when [[spoiler:Charlie guns down Dan.]]
80	* DoubleStandard: Ben Wade shoots one of his own gang for getting taken as a hostage, saying that he deserved to die for being stupid and weak. Charlie Prince agrees with the sentiment. Then Wade makes a mistake and gets captured himself. Another of the gang suggests that maybe they shouldn't bother to rescue Wade, since it was his own fault he got caught. Charlie Prince pistol-whips him and nearly shoots him for daring to suggest such a thing.
81	* TheDragon:
82	** Charlie Prince to Ben Wade.
83	** Tucker to Glen Hollander.
84	* DwindlingParty: The posse escorting Wade, whose members are killed off one-by-one as the journey goes on.
85	** Tucker: [[spoiler:Stabbed repeatedly in the throat by Wade.]]
86	** [=McElroy=]: [[spoiler:Thrown off a cliff by Wade.]]
87	** Potter: [[spoiler:Shot by the railroad enforcers.]]
88	** Dan: [[spoiler:Gunned down by Charlie Prince.]]
89	* ElectricTorture: A minor character whose brother was killed by Ben Wade does a version of this to Wade.
90	* EnemyMine: Wade helps his captors more than once when a common enemy shows up, namely the Apaches and the railroad enforcers.
91	* EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas: The remake is the TropeNamer.
92	-->'''Wade:''' I've always liked you, Byron, but you never know when to shut up. Even bad men love their mommas.
93	* EvenEvilHasStandards: While Ben Wade is a thief and murderer, he does believe in paying back favors, treating the dead with respect, and using non-violent methods when possible.
94	* EstablishingCharacterMoment: While waiting for a stagecoach raid, Ben Wade is first shown artfully sketching a falcon sitting on a branch, showing us that [[WickedCultured this man is not your typical bandit.]]
95	* FastestGunInTheWest: Ben Wade.
96	* FlatCharacter: Ben Wade accuses Byron [=McElroy=] of being one.
97	-->'''Ben Wade:''' Byron's like a song with only one note in it. You ever read a book in your life besides Literature/TheBible, Byron?\
98	'''Byron:''' No need.
99	* ForDoomTheBellTolls: In the trailers and during the movie's climax.
100	* {{Foreshadowing}}: Watch Ben Wade's chosen revolver ''very'' closely. It's mentioned that the weapon is supposedly "cursed" for anyone else who touches it. [[spoiler:Sure enough, everyone else who touches it dies, no exceptions.]]
101	* FriendlyEnemy: Towards the end [[spoiler:Wade all but fights at Dan's side, out of respect and admiration. Of course, he had escaped Yuma prison twice already.]]
102	* GatlingGood: The stagecoach has one, not that it stopped Wade's gang.
103	* GayCowboy: Charlie to Wade in the remake, the subtext practically ''screaming'' AmbiguouslyGay. Charlie is even once insulted as "Charlie Princ''ess"''. Given that he's a criminal, he also counts as a {{Gayngster}}.
104	* GenreSavvy: Ben Wade offers Dan $1000 to give up and let him go. [[spoiler:Dan refuses, not just because he doesn't trust Ben to keep his word, but because even if Dan ''accepted'' the money, it would be useless to him because everyone would know the only way a poor rancher would be able to acquire that kind of cash would be by accepting a bribe from a known (and extremely violent) criminal.]]
105	** In the climax, [[spoiler:Dan successfully gets Ben Wade on the train to Yuma prison. Wade's gang is still alive, and they don't just turn around and go home when this happens. Instead, Charlie kills Dan and the gang set Ben free. The only chance Dan had at survival would've been to kill the entire gang and ''then'' get Wade on the train.]]
106	* GoodCannotComprehendEvil: William Evans insists that Wade isn't all bad and that there's still some good left in him. Wade flatly informs the boy he's dead wrong and he would have [[WouldHurtAChild killed him without a second thought]], had he gotten the chance. [[spoiler:On the other hand, what [[HeelFaceTurn Ben does at the end]] proves that perhaps Will's not as wrong as Ben thought...]]
107	* GoryDiscretionShot: It's too dark to see much detail when Wade repeatedly stabs [[spoiler:Tucker]] in the throat.
108	* HandicappedBadass: It's easy to forget Dan does all his stunts while ''wearing a prosthetic leg.''
109	* HandyCuffs: You'd think after the first time Wade killed a member of the party with his hands cuffed in front of him, someone would cuff them behind his back.
110	* HasAType: Ben Wade is attracted to girls with green eyes. Like Dan's wife Alice.
111	* HazyFeelTurn: [[spoiler:Ben is clearly not planning to serve out his sentence at the end, nor abandon his merciless ways, but he willingly gets on board the titular train, even after William lowers his gun, and Dan's murder angers him so much that he guns down his entire gang for revenge.]]
112	* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler:After coming to understand why Dan is willing to die to get him on the train to Yuma, Ben Wade actually ''helps'' him to the train station, leading him through a hail of gunfire from the gunmen trying to rescue the outlaw. All so that the railroad will make good on their promise to save Dan's farm, but more importantly Dan's son can see what his father is made of. At one point Ben pulls Dan to his feet after falling so they can keep going.]]
113	* TheHeroDies: [[spoiler:Dan himself at the end of the remake.]]
114	* HolyHitman: Ben Wade seems to either not believe in God or dislike Him, but he can exchange Bible quotes with the best of them. [[spoiler:This is due to his ParentalAbandonment: Wade's mother gave a young Wade a Bible, sat him down, and told him she was going off to get train tickets to take them out of town and he should keep reading until she got back. Three days later, he had read it from cover to cover, and she never came back.]] He also calls his pistol "The Hand of God", and it has a Biblical inscription.
115	* HopeSpot: [[spoiler:Dan gets Ben onto the titular train, and Ben even cheers him by saying "[[TemptingFate Well, you did it, Dan"]], moments before Charlie shoots Dan in the back.]]
116	* IgnoredEnamoredUnderling: Charlie Prince to his boss Ben Wade. Charlie is implied to be romantically attracted to Wade, who never notices or reciprocates.
117	* ImperialStormtrooperMarksmanshipAcademy: [[spoiler:During the film's climax, the gang seems to be able to hit everything ''except'' Dan and Wade.]]
118	* InjunCountry: The party passes through here briefly only to get attacked by stereotypical braves at night. Wade notes that the Army's ongoing campaign against the Apache has made the whole area no place for women and children, therefore the ones in this part are the ones that stayed to fight, and they [[AxCrazy enjoy killing.]]
119	* InstantDeathBullet: Averted throughout. It takes a ''long'' time for people to die when they're shot in a non-vital area. [[spoiler:Dan Evans gets shot at close range four times, and he lives for several more minutes before finally expiring.]] Ben's first shot doesn't kill [[spoiler:Charlie]] either, and Ben drags him to his feet to make sure he shoots him right in the heart, which ''[[JustifiedTrope does]]'' kill him instantly.
120	* InTheBack: Where [[spoiler:Dan gets shot, the first few times.]]
121	* IronicEcho: Tucker mockingly sings "They're Gonna Hang Me in the Morning" to Wade while the latter is trying to get some sleep. Ben sings it later [[spoiler:while [=McElroy=] is beating the shit out of him for Tucker's death.]]
122	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Two cases, one straight and one initially averted.
123	** [[spoiler:Butterfield]] is a straight example. Ostensibly he's completely motivated by the demands of [[spoiler:the railroad]] and the lucrative salary it provides, but he doesn't lack a sense of professional decency or a conscience, and he refuses to command [[spoiler:Dan to face suicidal odds to earn the $200 he promised]].
124	** [[spoiler:Wade]] averts the trope at first. When [[spoiler:William asks him to call off his men because he's not "all bad," Wade says he couldn't lead his gang of "animals" if he wasn't "rotten as hell."]] Once [[spoiler:Wade discovers Dan's true motive]], however, the heart of gold finally surfaces and he [[spoiler:helps Dan get him on the train]].
125	* {{Jerkass}}: Some notable examples:
126	** One of the posse's members, Tucker, burned down Dan's barn at the behest of his creditor and continues to go out of his way to be an asshole to Ben Wade.
127	** [=McElroy=] also qualifies due to his nastiness towards other characters, his NoHoldsBarredBeatdown of a shackled Ben Wade, and his OffstageVillainy, which includes massacring an Apache village (men, women, and children). Though [=McElroy=]'s beating of Ben comes directly after [[spoiler:Ben had just finished stabbing Tucker to death]], and Wade's gang did ''shoot'' him earlier, so he's got plenty of good reasons to hate him.
128	* KillItWithFire: [[spoiler:What Ben's gang does to the passenger of the decoy wagon (the driver got sniped). They imply that they'll let him out if he gives up the real wagon's destination, but then leave him to die anyway.]]
129	* LastChanceToQuit: When they're alone together, Wade offers Dan Evans $400 (double what Butterfield had promised) to give up and let him go. While waiting for the train in Contention, Wade makes his final offer, this time $1000. [[spoiler:Dan just laughs at the utter impracticality of accepting that much cash. Specifically, if he tried to actually spend any of it, everyone would ''know'' where he got the money from.]]
130	* LiveActionEscortMission
131	* MoralityPet: [[ZigZaggingTrope Zig-Zagged]]. William tries to invoke this, telling Wade he isn't all bad. Wade casually tells William that he "wouldn't last five minutes leading an outfit like that if [he] wasn't as rotten as hell." He then [[spoiler:kills every member in his posse when they kill Dan and gets on the train willingly, with the knowledge that he can escape from Yuma, having done so twice before.]] He's a complex guy.
132	* MultipleGunshotDeath: [[spoiler:Charlie's execution of Dan.]]
133	-->'''Charlie:''' For a [[spoiler:one-legged rancher,]] he's [[MadeOfIron one tough son of a bitch.]]
134	* NobleDemon: [[spoiler:What Ben eventually turns out to be, despite his earlier denial.]]
135	* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: When Wade manages to kill one member of the posse while everyone is asleep, Byron [=McElroy=] responds by beating the handcuffed Wade (who is also lying down on the ground) over and over with the [[PistolWhipping butt of his rifle]]. This goes on even when the other members of the posse tell him to stop. Eventually, he has to be physically restrained from continuing the beating.
136	* NotThatKindOfDoctor: Doc is actually a horse doctor. His surgery still manages to save [=McElroy=].
137	* ParentalAbandonment: Ben Wade suffered from this as a child.
138	* PayEvilUntoEvil: Ben murdering [[spoiler:his entire gang in return for Dan's death, finishing [[UndyingLoyalty Charlie]] off last]] in an extremely sadistic manner.
139	* PinkertonDetective: [=McElroy=].
140	* PlayAlongPrisoner: Despite his gang arriving to free him from custody, Ben willingly boards the titular train because he has grown to respect Dan and wants his family to get the reward money for successfully escorting him.
141	* PoliticallyCorrectHistory: Very much averted. It's mentioned that [=McElroy=] and the other Pinkertons once killed entire camps full of Apache - men, women, and children - and the railroad workers treat their Chinese employees terribly, with Zeke whining that he wishes they'd hired "negroes" because they make better laborers than the Chinese do.
142	* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: [=McElroy=] massacred Apache in the past, and he makes a (literally) fatal mistake when he insults Ben Wade's mother. There's also the corrupt leader of the construction camp who considers his Chinese laborers to be animals and somehow comes across as worse than Ben and his gang.
143	* {{Rancher}}: Dan Evans (albeit a failing one).
144	* ShootTheHostage: During Ben Wade's stagecoach heist, one of the Pinkerton agents feigns death, then takes Tommy Darden hostage in a bid to escape. Ben Wade whips out his own gun and, in quick succession, fatally shoots Tommy and then the Pinkerton agent.
145	* SoleSurvivor: [[spoiler:Butterfield]] to the posse that left Dan Evans' farm, and the only surviving member of Ben's gang at the end is [[spoiler:Ben himself.]]
146	* SonOfAWhore: [=McElroy=] states that Ben Wade is the offspring of a hooker and makes the idiotic mistake of insulting dear old mom in front of him. Wade kills him and notes that [[EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas he loves her anyway]].
147	* StuffBlowingUp: Byron kills one of Wade's men this way when he shoots a stick of dynamite in the bandit's satchel, blowing up him and the horse he's riding.
148	* TooDumbToLive: For someone as fanatically, er, ''dedicated'' to his boss as Charlie is, disobeying his orders and [[spoiler:shooting Dan anyway]] was [[{{Understatement}} not a smart decision.]]
149	* TranquilFury: Ben Wade doesn't even ''flinch'' while [[spoiler:killing his own men to avenge Dan's death.]]
150	%%* UnwillingSuspension
151	* VehicleTitle: The name is based on the train scheduled to ride to Yuma.
152	* VillainExitStageLeft: Wade has apparently escaped Yuma multiple times before.
153	* WeaponStomp: The stagecoach driver crawls for his shotgun, but just as he gets to it, Charlie Prince steps on it.
154	* WellDoneSonGuy: Role reversed - Dan Evans desperately wants to earn the love and respect of his bratty, ungrateful son William, which inspires him to take Ben Wade to the train that will take him to prison (which will also provide him with some extra cash as a reward).
155	* WhatYouAreInTheDark: William has Ben at gunpoint, but eventually lowers his gun and leaves Ben alone to [[spoiler:attend to his father in his dying moments. There's nothing stopping Ben from escaping and killing William. [[HeelFaceTurn He gets on board the train anyway.]]]]
156	* WickedCultured: Wade has read the entirety of the Bible, and is skilled at drawing both wildlife and people.
157	* WorthyOpponent: Ben's opinion of Dan. Eventually, [[spoiler:[[HeelFaceTurn he stops being Dan's opponent at all.]]]]
158	* YouRemindMeOfX: A villainish version, as Wade tells Dan that William Evans (Dan's older son) reminds him of Wade in order to provoke Dan. Wade also makes inferences about Dan's wife, comparing her to a girl he knew in San Francisco.
159	* YouWouldntShootMe: A silent example, when William has Ben at gunpoint [[spoiler:at the end after his dad's been shot]], but eventually lowers his gun to [[spoiler:be with his father as he dies.]] Ben [[spoiler:[[WhatYouAreInTheDark climbs aboard the 3:10 anyways.]]]]
