Dan Evans

Dan Evans was the heroic antagonist of 2007 film remake of 3:10 to Yuma. He was a one-legged Civil War veteran barely managing to support his family on a ranch. Disrespected by his son and in dire financial trouble, he volunteers to help escort Ben Wade to Contention.
He was portrayed by Christian Bale.
== Story ==
Evan lived on a farm in the middle of the desert. Evans’ son, Mark, was diagnosed with tuberculosis when he was two. The doctor said that he would die without a dry climate, a diagnosis which has forced the Evans family to remain on their withering ranch.
Evans has come to the town in order to confront Glen Hollander, a local money lender who recently burned Dan’s barn as a punishment for his inability to pay. However, while looking for Hollander, Evans comes across a lucrative opportunity in the form of the notorious outlaw Ben Wade. If Evans and a small band of intrepid vigilantes can get Wade onto the 3:10 train to Yuma Prison leaving from Contention Station, they’ll each be rewarded with $200. Eager to pay off his debts – and even more eager to prove himself in the eyes of his son – Evans sets off to ensure that one of the most lethal men in the West shows up to his date with the gallows.
== Personality ==
On general, Evans is world-weary, yet determined. He doesn’t see much good in himself, and views his mission to escort Wade as the only way to prove that he is capable of heroism and decency. A good man who has spent his whole life coping with rotten luck, Evans refuses to let an opportunity to atone for his past go to waste.
