Tombstone 1993



Wyatt Earp (Kurt Russell) and his brothers decide to settle in the town of Tombstone with their wives.  Unfortunately trouble was not far behind them.  Doc Holliday (Val Kilmer) is a friend of Wyatt and has also come to Tombstone.  A gang called the Cowboys lead by Curly Bill (Powers Boothe) provokes countless problems including killing the town Marshal.  Wyatt is disappointed when Virgil decides to become a Marshal to bring a sense of order to town.  Wyatt has feelings for Josephine Marcus (Dana Delany) from a theater group.  His wife Mattie is addicted to opium due to her headaches.  The plans he had to retire and take life easy are all falling apart.  He had to face the cowboys as a lawman and completely destroy any existence of them.  Doc Holliday and several others fought with Wyatt Earp to end the reign of the cowboys, he had made the statement that Wyatt Earp was the only friend he had.  The best part of the movie is when Wyatt finds Josephine and they dance away in the snow.  My favorite character is Doc Holliday.                  -   J. Jackson
