Storyline
One night of 1881, Doc Holliday, a famous poker gambler, enters the 'No Name Saloon'. There, he challenges a man to poker, betting his horse against his opponent's wife. Doc wins and from now on, Katie Fisher, also known as Katie Elder, will follow him wherever he goes. Their next destination is Tombstone, where the law is represented by Sheriff Wyatt Earp. When they arrive, the election campaign is in full swing. Earp runs for candidate but the Clantons, a family gang of outlaw cowboys, are not among his keenest supporters. Conflict erupts following the failure of some shadowy bargaining and Doc decides to join Wyatt and his brothers. The four of them gather at the O.K. Corral where the seven Clanton brothers are waiting for them. Written by Guy Bellinger

Doc Holliday: Well, if it weren't for bad people, what would you do for a living, Marshal? Tell me about Tombstone. I mean, more than what you said in the letter.
Wyatt Earp: It's wide open. The sheriff here, Johnny Behan, doesn't know how to organize a town, so I'm going to run against him in the election. The sheriff has got all the power here. The marshal has got a badge and he's got some territory, but he's got no jurisdiction in the town. Gambling is heavy. There's a lot of money about ...

Before watching this movie I'd never seen a movie with Stacy Keach in it that I didn't like at least a little. If you know nothing about Old West history nor anything about any of the real life persons portrayed in this film, or it's just your wish to get all wildly conspiracy theoretical and therefore would like things to your own pleasing rather than the way they actually are known to be, then you may very well enjoy 'Doc' a great deal. However, real Old West history buffs will almost certainly be appalled by the way this film makes an extremely biased, painfully obvious attempt to rewrite history while completely disregarding all known facts. Heck, it doesn't even bother to even very loosely adhere to only the Cowboy's side of the story and then embellish it a little or even a lot; something which to my knowledge hasn't been done yet and which would have the potential to make for a very good movie, it just flat out ignores every single detail about everything, everyone and every event.
Unfortunately, it would be impossible to explain the reasons this film is so unbelievably historically flawed without committing spoilers and ruining things for those who haven't yet watched. So we won't be going there.
To sum it all up: Those who will watch this film purely for entertainment value, as well as those who have no knowledge whatsoever of the actual characters and events as well as those who desire history be rewritten to their own pleasing, may well enjoy this film. Alternately, those who are knowledgeable about the Old West and prefer films on the subject to be based at least a tiny bit on anything resembling reality may be very disappointed. As far as facts go the entire film is about as honest as Big Nose Kate's tiny little nose.
