The Western genre is alive and kicking. Not only has there been a rebirth of Westerns on television, but now the genre which used to be a fan favorite is making a comeback on the big screen thanks to 3:10 to Yuma. Director James Mangold smartly chose to cast two powerhouse actors - Russell Crowe and Christian Bale - as adversaries in the film, their casting bringing a legitimacy to the project as well as an intensity necessary to pull off a Western colored in shades of grey. That's right. The line between good and evil is blurred and that makes for a very provocative moviegoing experience.

The Story
Ben Wade (Crowe) is the leader of a ruthless gang of thieves and murderers. Dan Evans (Bale) is a down-on-his-luck rancher in danger of losing the land he and his family call home. The paths of the two very disparate men cross when Dan agrees to help transport the captured Wade to a neighboring town in order to stick him on the 3:10 train to Yuma, Arizona.

3:10 to Yuma pulls into theaters on September 7, 2007.
