Dan is a soldier in the Civil War who was shot and maimed by his own man in the Civil War. The government gave him $198 as compensation for his retirement. He dared not tell the truth of the matter to his family. So, in front of the two children, he is a hero, although he has no military exploits. But in Dan's heart, this matter has been bothering him. Some things in life, once done wrong, can become lifelong regrets, and Dan can't face himself.
But at the same time, Dan is a very responsible person. For the sake of his family, for his young son who has tuberculosis, he has to raise cattle in the dry climate of Southwest Arizona. But he was insolvent, the railway was going to be repaired, and if he couldn't pay his debts, he would have to leave the land. In fact, the railroad company had sent someone to burn his feed shed. In front of his family, he watched it all happen, helpless. The angry eldest son began to despise the father, and his rationality and bitterness could not convince the eldest son at all. What should he do to get through this crisis?
Wade, the robber in the west, robbed a dozen of money-transporting vehicles, escaped from prison twice, spent a lot of money and murdered a lot of money. Everyone knows his legend. Sometimes it's a strange world to be in awe of doing too much bad things. This time he passed by the farm where Dan was, specifically to rob the railway company's money-carrying car. During the battle, Dan's cattle were borrowed by Wade and his gang to attack the cash truck. That's how the two characters meet. Wade warned Dan not to meddle in his own business, and took away his flattery to prevent stalking. Dan was very sensible and caught himself, saving the lives of himself and the child, but in the eyes of the child, he lost his prestige more and more.
Wade and his gang arrive in town disguised as fake news to get the sheriff to leave Bisbee so they can share the spoils there. After dividing the spoils, Wade took a fancy to the female bar owner.
Wade: Did you stay at Radwell?
Female Boss: I'm a singer, that was my best time.
Wade: Why don't you sing?
Female boss: I have a bad voice, the doctor advised me to go to a dry place
Wade : I spilled a lot of money there, there is a girl named Velvet
Female boss: No one will forget her
Wade strokes the female boss's neck: You A little thin
Female boss: It feels thinner
Wade: It doesn't matter, as long as you have a pair of eyes with a face, the
female boss turns around
Wade: It doesn't matter if you don't have blue eyes
.....
Wade: There is a small town on the south side of the border. It is very beautiful by the river. People there are willing to listen to hundreds of women singing.
Female boss: Imagine that I am running to Mexico with the arm of the thief.
Wade: I was not caught there. Wanted
Female Boss: Are you crazy?
Wade is silent.
Dan , busy saving the only surviving cash escort, bumped into the sheriff who came here. The sheriff found that they had been deceived and wanted to turn back. Dan asked to go with him. Check it out, hope it helps. In town, Dan designed to capture Wade, and Wade was angry that Dan didn't accept his bribe. The sheriff and the railroad decided to take Wade to the train station in Yuma to take him to the railroad company to hang him. Dan decided to take part in the escort in exchange for the precious two hundred dollars so he could get through the ordeal.
Many escorts died along the way, some were killed by Wade puncturing their organs with a small fork, because this person provoked Wade, and some were pushed off the cliff by Wade because he insulted Wei. De's mother, some of them set fire to death in the carriage because they confuse Wade's accomplices to travel alone, and some were beaten to death by Wade's enemies in order to escort Wade on the road. Wade takes the train.
In Yuma, Wade's accomplices arrive, and they offer a reward for anyone with a gun if they kill the guard at Wade's inn. As a result, the dozens of down-and-out gunmen who roamed here went crazy. The sheriff of Yuma Town immediately retreated, disarmed and surrendered, but what was waiting for them was random shooting, and no one would give up the temptation of two hundred dollars. The railroad representative was also scared, he had family, and he didn't want to risk his life for this robber, he said to Dan, I'll give you two hundred dollars, let's give up, let him go.
Dan's eldest son, who was accompanying him, also agreed with this suggestion. Wade also said that he could let them go. Now that no one insists on it, why do you insist on it, but Dan refused. He said that when the army gave him $198 to let him go, they actually wanted to let him go. It made him sad, this time he won't go away again, and he can't leave for those who died. So Dan arranged for the eldest son and the railroad rep to wait in the other room until he and Wade left. Dan gave his medal to his eldest son, telling him, tell his mother that he can tell the difference between black and white, and tell her that he took Ben Wade on the train when he was alone and helpless. Dan asked the railroad representatives to give his wife a thousand dollars as compensation after he put Wade on the train, so that those people would stop harassing his family and let the cut off water flow through his family's farm again, and the representatives agreed one by one. At that time, Wade witnessed all this and said nothing.
Dan and Wade were waiting in the hotel for the 3:10 train. Dan was a little nervous because there were dozens of gunmen waiting for him outside. In fact, he didn't know if he could make it to the train station half a mile away alive. , but he has decided not to back down.
Wade sat quietly on the title page of the Bible with Dan's portrait, and he said: Have you read the Bible? I read it once when I was eight. My father died of alcoholism. My mom said to go back east and start over. She gave me a Bible to read and put me at the train station. She said she went to buy a ticket, and I did as she said and read the Bible from cover to cover. It took three days and she didn't come back.
The two men looked at each other without saying a word.
I think what Wade needs in his heart may be a person like Dan who is firm in the face of morality and responsibility. Wade had always liked to paint, the birds free in the treetops, the beautiful woman, the petite farmer with the rifle in his hand. He has learned the skills of making a living since he was a child, strictly abides by the logic of survival, and knows how to save himself in the face of the cold reality. But no one understood his inner longing.
But at this moment, he told his story to his enemy, the one who was going to send him to be hanged, and he did so just to insist on his responsibility, which made Wade warm.
When the time came, Dan took Wade out of the hotel, and the gunshots rang out, and Dan responded to the bullets as he ran. Wade said, good luck. It turns out that a bullet hit Dan's shoe without hurting him, so lucky. Dan and Wade maneuvered around and hid in a grocery store amid increasing shooting in all directions. Wade accidentally injured his arm when he went in. Wade became impatient and didn't want to play this game with him anymore. He knocked Dan to the ground and said, "Your son is gone, no one is watching now, you still have a leg, why don't you go back" The two got into a scuffle, Wade strangled Dan by the neck, and Dan Struggling hard, he said, "I've never been quite a hero. The only time I fight is to retreat. My retreat was interrupted by my own people. If you tell this to your son, what will they think of me?" Wade was a little moved. He decided to fulfill Dan's mission this time. Anyway, he can escape from prison again, what can really stop him?
On the roof, Wade was in front and Dan was behind. The two jumped from one roof to another together. When they landed from the roof, Dan's leg fell a little hard, and Wade quickly pulled him up. Run through the hail of bullets together. The gunfire was everywhere, but it was like a poem, but they were as comfortable and light as two children. The two are enemies of each other, but they are saving a soul together.
Charlie, the second boss of Wade's accomplices, shot Dan while watching Wade's cooperation with Dan puzzled. Charlie kept shouting "boss" but Wade ignored him.
In the waiting room, Dan said to Wade, "Actually, I'm not stubborn, it's just that my youngest son has tuberculosis and has to live in a dry place."
Wade: Why are you telling me this?
Dan: I don't know either, maybe I just want you to know that I'm not stubborn. The
two of them smiled at each other.
Finally, when the train came, Dan put Charlie on the train with a special cage for prisoners. Wade was gone. Go in, turn around and see Charlie looking at the gun at Dan and yelling "No"
Four bullets pierced Dan's chest and he falls. Wade jumped off the train, affectionately and solemnly. Charlie, still unaware of the change, gave Wade the gun. Wade picked up the gun, his eyes were full of killing intent, and he pulled the trigger with one hand to kill Charlie and others, and fired another shot in the chest before Charlie died. Maybe until the end of the day, Charlie couldn't understand why the boss, who was following him so desperately, was like this.
I believe that every demon is an angry angel.
Dan's son Mark didn't run away, he kept watching this happen, he rushed up to touch his father, there was resentment in his eyes, he pointed the gun at Wade, Wade faced him, there was nothing to fight back Meaning, Mark didn't have the heart to shoot, he knew what was right and what was wrong in this matter, which was what his father Dan had always wanted him to understand.
There are two things, Kant said, that the more often and persistently we think about them, the more the soul is filled with new and ever-growing fascination and reverence: the starry sky above and the moral law within.
In this world, some things are more important than life. When he comes, please don't back down.
