A rancher struggles to support his ranch and family during a long drought. Desperately needing money to build a well, he takes an assignment to transport a notorious felon, in the hands of authorities, to Yuma for imprisonment. But, once the two meet, the criminal tries to tempt him with--in exchange for allowing him to escape--an offer of much more money than the rancher ever expected, the result of a hidden loot.

Not a bad movie.....very much a traditional western, but enjoyable none the less.
Cast did a reasonable job, although I wasn't entirely convinced by Russell Crowe.
Plausibility of the story struggled from time to time, but overall a satisfying experience.

There's definitely something about watching folks riding very fast on horseback shooting at each other..... (nostalgia maybe.....)
