Short description

Dan Evans, a small time farmer, is hired to escort Ben Wade, a dangerous outlaw, to Yuma. As Evans and Wade wait for the 3:10 train to Yuma, Wade's gang is racing to free him.

What's left behind the scenes

  • The role of Dan Evans was initially offered to Glenn Ford. He declined and suggested Ben Wade instead.
  • By this time, most Westerns were already being filmed in color, but director Delmer Daves and cinematographer Charles Lawton Jr. preferred to shoot a black and white film. The cinematographer used red filters to make the landscape appear even more arid.
  • After the film's release, the word "Yuma" entered Cuban slang. "Yumas" became the term for American tourists, and "La Yuma" became the term for the United States.
