...and rid the town of Tombstone of them once and for all.
With the release of Clint Eastwood's "Unforgiven" in 1992, and a resurgence in the demand for Cowboy movies, it came as no surprise, when in 1993 Tombstone was released, a Hollywood take on the legendary lives of Wyatt Earp and Doc Holliday. In true Hollywood style, they threw bucket loads of money into the big production and lined up some big names to star. The actual line up is very impressive, ...

...the combination of those three. Tombstone combines two of these three elements, brilliant acting and an interesting script, part mythical and part updated realism.

Advantages: Great writing, edge of your seat action, and some hilarious comic scenes Disadvantages: None

Set in the town of Tombstone, it follows the Earp brothers as they try to make their way in the "New West".
Moving storylines go hand in hand with "rootin' tootin" action, with gunfights, saloon brawls, ...
