3:10 to Yuma

The remake of 3:10 to Yuma had a very different plot because the director revised a lot of the aspects of the film. In the latter of 3:10 to Yuma many changes were made in the plot to revise this classic western. In the new film the character base was a mix of different races. The crew of outlaws had a Mexican sniper. During the scene when they are looking for Ben Wade they go through a rail road site with Asain workers. These characters were not present in the 1957 production of the movie where most people seen were Anglo-Saxon. Add a diverse cast is a revision of the western ideal. Children played a major role in 3:10 to Yuma. When Dan Evans’ son stuck up Ben Wade, a child in classic westerns never had the ability t overpower the bad alpha male.

The outlaws in 3:10 to Yuma were sociopaths. They killed without flinching, and were ruthless with betrayal. This is a revision because in the 1957 production the outlaws had a code. They did not look forward to killing; they tried to avoid because killing brought severe consequences. New technologies where used by the outlaws in the 2007 remake. The Mexican had a long barrel rifle with a long scope attached. Dynamite was also a weapon used by the alpha males in 3:10 to Yuma. These new technologies present the audience with intense action. This is a modern revision to most action movies.
