Disclaimer: Below narrative is based on the story of the movie 3:10 to Yuma. Some of the dialogs are presented as it is to present the best. Lead characters Ben Wade & Dan Evans are acted by Russell Crowe and Christian Bale respectively.
Ben Wade dodges bullet into Charlie Prince's heart in a point blank.
There was Ben Wade tricky and famed outlaw, Rancher Dan Evans & a tr
ain to Yuma prison at 3.10 where Ben's gonna be hanged up strait. Long story short, Evans agrees to escort coldblooded Wade to the train station in the town of Contention for the money of $200. Evans is in desperate need of money to save his farm.
En Route, certain events happen which brings Evans closer to Wade. Wade tries all his cunning, ill desired tricks to manipulate Evans. Nonetheless, all of which would be in vein. They pass through toughest canyons, mountain ranges, through the region of apache killers. In this course of time, Wade kills some of his captors, saves Evans' life and gets his life saved by Evans from apache killers. Apache killers were with great vengeance on Wade since he slayed the brother of their head right in front of him. And finally, Wade, Evans, William-14 year old gun slinging son of Evans & Railroad representative Mr. Butterfield reaches a hotel in Contention City.
Best part of the story begins now.
1'o Clock, watch ticks. Train's gonna arrive at the station half mile away by 3.10.
By this time Wade's monstrous gang arrives in the contention city to rescue Wade. Charlie Prince, a grotesque sharp shooter is the head of the gang, who kills the policemen ruthlessly, who were guarding Wade when they surrender to him for their lives.
Wade and Evans sitting empty bridal suite of Hotel in the contention city. Evans holding a shot gun, Wade is calm and lying carelessly on the bed. His face and attitude shows a great assurance that none in the world can take him to the train. Not even Evans.
Ben Wade: What are you gonna to do with your $200 now, Dan? Now, that the rains are coming.
Dan Evans: I owe people money Wade, that drought left me in the hole.
Ben Wade: What do you think about double that money? You could pay your debts. Buy a hundred cows. Build a new barn.
Dan Evans: How do you reckon I'm going to do that?
Ben Wade: Just lay down your gun and let me walk out the door. It's worth $400 (?)
Dan Evans: Is that what you reckon my price is?
Ben Wade: No, I reckon it's a thousand One thousand dollars
Dan Evans: Isn't that kind of reckless of you Wade? Seeing that… Hmmm. You're so sure that your crew is coming to get you
Ben Wade: Oh, they're coming, Dan. Sure as God's vengeance, they're coming. But I just like to do things easy. Imagine what you can do with $1000, Dan? You can hire a couple of ranch hands. Your boys could go to school, grow up smart. What about Alice? She would be the proud wife of a bonafide Arizona rancher. All you've got to do is say yes.
Dan Evans: Will you give me a bank note, Wade? Or will you be kind enough to make a deposit for me? You tell me, Wade. How will I account for that amount of money? What will I tell people when I spend it? That you got the jump on me, you escaped, and somehow I got a fortune
Now, Wade turns to William,
Ben Wade: They're gonna kill you and your father, William they're gonna laugh while they do it. I think you know that.
William Evans: Call 'em off.
Ben Wade: Why should I?
William Evans: Because you're not all bad.
Ben Wade: Yes, I am.
William Evans: You saved us from those Indians.
Ben Wade: I saved myself.
William Evans: You got us through the tunnels. You helped us get away.
Ben Wade: If I had a gun in them tunnels, I would have used it on you.
William Evans: I don't believe you.
Ben Wade: Kid, I wouldn't last five minutes leading an outfit like that if I wasn't as rotten as hell.
Evans sends his son back home with the officer Butterfield with an assurance that he'll take Wade to the train at any cost and asks for a word from officer that no one touches his family and there will be water flowing through his land & a $1000. And, asks his son to look after the family, in case something happens.
Evans gets out of the hotel with Wade, hearing the train's siren. After a hustle and rustle with Wade's gang, Evans cracks down with the bullets and blast wounding his body recklessly. But, never gives up.
Ben Wade: I can't do this no more, Dan.
Dan Evans: I'm putting you on that train, Wade
Ben Wade: I'm going back! Your boy is gone, hero. Ain't nobody watching no more. You still got that one good leg, why don't you use it to get on home?
Dan Evans: I have never been no hero, Wade. Only (action?) I've seen, it was a retreat … my foot got shot off by one of my own men. You try telling that story to your boy … see how he looks at you then
Ben Wade: Well, as long as we're making confesions. I've been to Yuma Prison before. Twice, Escaped twice too.
Wade gets into train on his own to fulfill rancher Evans desire. In this right moment, Charlie dodges series of bullets back to back into Evans' body.
Charlie Prince: For a one legged rancher, … he's one tough son of a gun.
Charlie hands Wade, his Gun. Wade shoots Charlie Prince and his very own gang and gets into the train to Yuma. Evans dies in the arms of his son.
I know it's a very bad narration in my part. Please forgive me for the same.
All I wanted to convey is just get into Evans' & Wade's shoes and reconcile yourselves. In this materialistic and manipulative world adulterating very pure emotions, a rancher & a outlaw shows how to outlive for what you believe, within your boundaries.
