Russell Crowe's Most Intense Western Officially Rides Onto Prime Video

2026 has been a busy year for Russell Crowe, though none of his newer movies have gained the same traction at the box office or on streaming as some of his older hits. Crowe has already starred in a pair of movies this year — he began 2026 by starring as an MMA coach in Beast, the action thriller that's now streaming on Starz after grossing only a few million at the box office. His next action movie, The Get Out, also failed to gain any box office traction, and the film is now available to purchase on VOD platforms like Prime Video and Apple TV. Crowe will return to the world of blockbuster filmmaking with the new Highlander reboot co-starring Henry Cavill. The film hails from long-time John Wick director Chad Stahelski, but it's still without an official release date.

While most movie fans would agree that the pinnacle of Crowe's career came in the late '90s and early 2000s when he was nominated for three Oscars in a row, he continued this success into the late 2010s with other notable hits like 3:10 to Yuma. Crowe stars alongside Christian Bale and Ben Foster in the 2007 Western, which is a remake of the 1957 Western starring Glen Ford and Van Heflin. 3:10 to Yuma came into theaters carrying a $55 million budget, meaning it needed over $100 million to break even, but it left theaters with a cumulative total of only $70 million at the global box office. Nearly 20 years after its theatrical premiere, 3:10 to Yuma fans can rewatch the film via the Howdy extension on Prime Video, which can be added to a standard subscription for only a few dollars.

What Is '3:10 to Yuma' About?

The official synopsis for Russell Crowe's 3:10 to Yuma, which holds scores of 89% from critics and 86% from audiences on Rotten Tomatoes, reads as follows: "Outlaw Ben Wade (Russell Crowe) terrorizes 1800s Arizona, especially the Southern Railroad, until he is finally captured. Wade must be brought to trial, so Dan Evans (Christian Bale), the owner of a drought-stricken ranch, volunteers to escort him to the train. Along the trail, a grudging respect forms between the men, but danger looms at every turn, and the criminal's men are in pursuit." The film was written by Halsted Welles, Michael Brandt, and Derek Haas and directed by James Mangold. It's the perfect mash-up of Sicario and Unforgiven for fans who love a classic revenge story set against the backdrop of a dusty Western.
