With an 89% score from critics and a “Certified Fresh” rating on Rotten Tomatoes, the 2007 remake of 3:10 to Yuma is now streaming on Peacock as of September 1st. This film is a reimagining of the 1957 Western classic with the same title, and it’s originally based on a short story by Elmore Leonard from 1953. The story follows a clash of principles between Ben Wade, played by Russell Crowe-a dangerous outlaw who wreaks havoc in 1800s Arizona-and Dan Evans, portrayed by Christian Bale, a former soldier and now rancher who agrees to transport Wade to the train station for his journey to prison. This sweeping western was directed by James Mangold, who later went on to direct Marvel’s Logan a decade later.
