A
fantastic movie from
1993 detailing the circumstances leading up to and following
the gunfight at the O.K. Corral in
Tombstone, Arizona. Starring
Kurt Russell as
Wyatt Earp and
Val Kilmer as
Doc Holliday.
You can get the rest of the actors and plot summary from IMDb, so I won't go into the rest here. But this movie is a terrific recreation of the original American Wild West, with all its ups and downs. The story takes place as Kansas lawman Wyatt Earp and his two brothers are retiring to Tombstone, an up-and-coming city in the growing West ever since silver was discovered in mines nearby. The town has attracted its share of gentlemen and ladies, but also a sizable crowd of early gangsters. Wyatt and his brothers do their best to keep to their own business and leave the law to other men, but the Cowboys -- possibly America's first instance of organized crime -- have other ideas. For a while, anyways.
