Description
A successful lawman’s plans to retire anonymously in Tombstone, Arizona, are disrupted by the kind of outlaws he was famous for eliminating. The film is loosely based on real events that took place in the 1880s in Southeast Arizona, including the Gunfight at the OK Corral and the Earp Vendetta Ride.
The Earp brothers and their wives arrive in the silver boom town of Tombstone, Arizona. In large measure, this is the obvious moment when Wyatt enters the story’s “adventure world,” but notice how he repeatedly and emphatically rejects the Call to Adventure. At least three people proposition him to use his skills as a lawman in the town, but Wyatt wants nothing to do with their offers. He’s there to make money and settle down with his family; he wants absolutely nothing to do with the main conflict as stoked by the town’s lawless Cowboy gang.
