Lionsgate is releasing James Mangold’s 3:10 to Yuma in various formats, so get your cowboy hats on. It will be available on 4K Ultra HDTM, Blu-ray, and Digital SteelBook® on September 6. Bonus features include a commentary track, deleted sequences, and a number of featurettes in the $27.99 package. Dan Evans (Christian Bale) is a small-time rancher whose family is having problems with their land. 3:10 to Yuma is an adaptation of the classic 1957 western. Ben Wade (Russell Crowe) and his gang of outlaws are terrorising the neighbourhood, as well. Evans is in town when Wade is caught, just as preparations are being made for Wade’s transfer.
The “3:10 To Yuma” is a train that will take Wade to court, so Evans offers to accompany him. Wade’s gang is on the prowl, and Evans has to deal with a slew of additional difficulties as he makes his way across the country. Bale, Crowe, Ben Foster, Logan Lerman, Peter Fonda, Alan Tudyk, Vinessa Shaw, and Dallas Roberts featured in the film, which was released in 2007, and was nominated for a Golden Globe Award for Best Actor in a Supporting Role in a Motion Picture (Dallas Buyers Club).
Halsted Welles, Michael Brandt, and Derek Haas wrote the script based on Elmore Leonard’s short tale. Bale and Mangold worked together again for Ford vs. Ferrari, which was directed by Mangold. Aside from Indiana Jones 5, director James Mangold previously directed The Wolverine and Logan.
