The film spans Earp's life, from his youth, when blood and gore made him deeply uncomfortable, to his role in the famous gunfight at the O.K. Corral, to his becoming a rigid, by-the-book sheriff. Also dramatized are Earp's relationships with his brothers and their wives, and with loyal friend Doc Holliday, who is dying of tuberculosis. [More]

Reviews for Wyatt Earp
...hiding in this three-hour-plus extravaganza is a good two-hour movie. Too bad it's so hard to find.
Though handsome to look at (cinematography is by Owen Roizman), the movie is overlong, stately, and too detailed for its own good; director Kasdan claims his version if more accurate, which may be true, but it doesn't make for a good picture.
A great Western that was unfairly disparaged back in 1994. The authentic Wyatt Earp is actually a much-better film than the pulpier, more-popular Tombstone.
Costner's still shouting, but it's hard to hear him from all the way back there in 1940.
Turgid and painfully poker-faced, though Dennis Quaid's Doc Holliday is as good as anyone's
Beautifully shot and impressively directed, it's an ambitious Western in the classic mold, the kind of film that rarely gets made anymore.
