Storyline

After the long career of lawman that made him a legend, Wyatt Earp deciedes to quit and join his brothers in Tombstone, Arizona. There he would see them in feud with Clantons, local clan of thugs and cattle thieves. When the showdown becomes inevitable, the help will come from Doc Holliday, terminally-ill gambler who happens to be another Wild West legend.

Goofs

Factual errors: The gunfight scene shows Doc Holliday killing Johnny Ringo, when in reality, Ringo was not even at the O.K Corral that day. Ringo wasn't killed until July 1882 ten months after this gunfight and even then his death was ruled as suicide. See more »

Quotes

Dr. John 'Doc' Holliday: I'm a gambler. Money's just a tool of my trade.
Wyatt Earp: Of course, you will guarantee you won't lose.
Dr. John 'Doc' Holliday: I never lose. You see, poker's played by desperate men who cherish money. I don't lose because I have nothing to lose, including my life.
