Movie Description Arizona, 1879. Legendary Dodge City marshall Wyatt Earp, his wife Mattie and his brothers Virgil and Morgan just rode into Tombstone. These veteran frontiersmen hope to open a small business and settle into a quiet life. But they get more than they bargained for: Tombstone is a lawless municipality inhabited by a bunch of carousing locals. To make matters worse, the entire village is victimized by a gang of infamous outlaws. Wyatt, Virgil and Morgan may be the only formidable force around to confront them head-on.

Editorial Reviews "...TOMBSTONE is replete with traditional Western pleasures: lusciously photographed sunsets, rugged landscapes, consistently witty dialogue...and a gallery of finely-realised heroes and villains..." Sight and Sound - p.53-4 - Tom Tunney
"...Russell's clear, steady portrayal of Wyatt Earp gives the film a core of emotional integrity..." New York Times - p.C6 - Stephen Holden
"...The leanest, meanest Earp movie yet....Sprawling, chaotic [climax]..." Entertainment Weekly - p.113 - Michael Sauter
