Elmore Leonard's short story Three-Ten to Yuma was published in 1953; four years later, the first movie based on his work was released. In 2007, a second movie directed by James Mangold and starring Russell Crowe and Christian Bale was released. This version has a small but active fandom that works primarily through Live Journal and Yuletide.

Slash
Because of the on-screen chemistry between leading men Crowe and Bale (who played Ben Wade and Dan Evans respectively), the Yuma fandom writes predominantly slash fanfiction. Ben Foster deliberately played his character Charlie Prince, a member of Wade's gang, as being obsessed with Wade, and many fans explore the possible sexually relationship between the two characters.
