Tombstone - Inspired by Wyatt Earp and the Gunfight at the O.K. Corral

Inspired By A True Story

October 26, 1881. Four men, armed with guns, long coats, and badges, rolled up to a lot near the OK Corral to disarm several miscreants looking for trouble. What happened next became the most infamous gunfight in American history.

In 1993, Kurt Russell and Val Kilmer star as Wyatt Earp and Doc Holliday in one of the greatest westerns of all time.

Grab your horses and load your revolvers, because Tombstone was indeed inspired by a true story.
