Kevin Costner plays the most famous lawman ever to stride the Wild West. In a gritty, complex portrayal held as a "classic American performance" (Bob Campbell, Newhouse Newspapers) , Academy Award winner Costner plays the man who became a myth in an epic, action-filled saga directed and co-written by Lawrence Kasdan. Gene Hackman as Wyatt's iron-willed father and Dennis Quaid as Earp's deadly best friend, Doc Holliday, add power to this hard-hitting Western. From Wichita to Dodge City to the O.K. Corral in Tombstone, Arizona, Wyatt Earp is a thrilling journey of romance, adventure and mythic courage....
