I love a good Western, and there are few better than the iconic Tombstone. There are so many deep characters and so many great lines in this movie, and it 's got a script you just can't put down. George P. Cosmatos's 1993 classic remains a fan favorite for its stellar cast (Kurt Russell, Val Kilmer, Sam Elliott, Bill Paxton!), iconic moments, and unforgettable dialogue.But have you ever wanted to go deeper? To see the blueprint behind the gunfights and the graveyard stares? Reading the screenplay is the perfect way to do just that.Let's dive in. TombstoneTombstone (1993) is a Western loosely based on historical events that happened in 1880s Arizona.Directed by George P. Cosmatos and written by Kevin Jarre, the movie follows retired lawman Wyatt Earp (Kurt Russell) who moves to the town of Tombstone with his brothers, Virgil (Sam Elliott) and Morgan (Bill Paxton), seeking a peaceful life and business opportunities.But there is no peace to be found. They soon find themselves in conflict with a ruthless outlaw gang known as "The Cowboys." In need of backup, they're joined by Wyatt's loyal but sickly friend, gunslinger Doc Holliday (Val Kilmer). The escalating tensions lead to the legendary Gunfight at the O.K. Corral and a subsequent bloody quest for revenge after The Cowboys retaliate against the Earp brothers. This is one of the best Westerns of all time. It's known for its action, memorable performances (especially Kilmer's Doc Holliday), and depiction of iconic Western figures and events.The Tombstone Script...
