Synopsis

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.

Review

Entertainment Weekly, 11/18/1994, p.113, "...The leanest, meanest Earp movie yet....Sprawling, chaotic [climax]..."

Sight and Sound, 03/01/1994, p.53-4, "...TOMBSTONE is replete with traditional Western pleasures: lusciously photographed sunsets, rugged landscapes, consistently witty dialogue...and a gallery of finely-realised heroes and villains..."

New York Times, 12/24/1993, p.C6, "...Russell's clear, steady portrayal of Wyatt Earp gives the film a core of emotional integrity..."

Title Note

"Tombstone" was written by "Glory" screenwriter Kevin Jarre, who was originally slated to direct. George Pan Cosmatos ("Rambo: First Blood, Part II") replaced him.

Kevin Costner was still working on his version of the Wyatt Earp story for Warner Bros. (directed by Lawrence Kasdan) when "Tombstone" was released December 25, 1993.

Jarre told reporters that Costner's film was initially slated to "crush my picture." Jarre was afraid his picture wouldn't get made but a William Morris agent got Russell to star in the film (even if Russell was a client of the Creative Artists Agency); after that, the rest of the cast quckly fell into place.

Budget estimate $25 million.

Filmed in location in Tucson, Arizona, in Technicolor and Panavision.

Rated MPAA R, running time 127 minutes.

Rated BBFC 15 by the British Board of Film Classification.
