Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Who plays Ben Wade in 3:10 to Yuma?

Answer: Russell Crowe

Ben Wade is the outlaw who is being transported to Yuma Prison. He is a thief and a murderer with no clear conscience until the end of the movie.

2. In his absence, what is the name of the leader of Wade's gang?

Answer: Charlie Prince

In this remake, he is very convincingly played by Ben Foster. At one point, another gang member suggests that Wade got what he deserved and that the gang should move on without him. Prince insists they ride to Contention City and rescue Wade.

3. Who directed the film?

Answer: James Mangold

4. The character Dan Evans is played by which actor?

Answer: Christian Bale

Christian Bale plays a very heroic Dan Evans in the remake. Van Heflin played him in the original. Dan Evans is the hero of the movie who insists on taking Ben Wade to the train, even after the others have deserted him.

5. What city are the posse trying to get to?

Answer: Contention City

Contention City is now a ghost town in Arizona. The post office in Contention City only stayed open for 8 years and much of the town is in ruins now. In the movie, the Contention City train leaves at 3:10 and will take the outlaw Ben Wade to prison in Yuma, Az.

6. The 3:10 to Yuma is a train.

Answer: True

Unfortunately, the train is late and they have to wait for it. This makes it even more impossible for Evans to get Wade on the train, since the townspeople are shooting at them while they wait inside the train station.

7. Why does Dan offer to help transport Ben Wade to the train?

Answer: The payoff will get him out of debt

Throughout the movie, it is made clear that Dan is helping because he needs the money to get out of debt and save his ranch. At the end of the movie, when offered more money, he chooses to do the right thing and make sure Wade gets on that train.

8. What does Ben Wade like to do in his spare time?

Answer: Draw

He draws many pictures throughout the movie. These include a picture of a bird that he leaves before holding up a stagecoach, a picture of the woman at the tavern in Bisby and a picture of Dan Evans.

9. At the beginning of the movie, what burns down?

Answer: Dan's barn

Ben's barn is burnt down because he is in debt. He is told that his house will be next if he doesn't pay his taxes by Monday. He joins the posse taking Wade to Yuma in order to earn enough money to pay his debt and keep his house.

10. How do the men trick Wade's gang?

Answer: They send a stagecoach ahead without Wade in it

When Wade's gang catch up with the stagecoach, they kill the driver and set it on fire. They tell the passenger that he will be freed if he tells them where the posse is taking Wade. He tells them and is burned to death anyway.
