One of the best Western movies ever is on TV tonight

The hit Western is based on a true story.

The film sees Wyatt Earp (Russell) and his brothers, Morgan and Virgil (Bill Paxton and Sam Elliott), leave their gunslinger ways behind them to settle down and start a business in the town of Tombstone, Arizona.

"While they aren't looking to find trouble, trouble soon finds them when they become targets of the ruthless Cowboy gang (led by Michael Biehn and Powers Boothe)," the plot synopsis adds.

"Now, together with Wyatt's best friend, Doc Holliday (Kilmer), the brothers pick up their guns once more to restore order to a lawless land."

Directed by George P. Cosmatos (Cobra, Rambo 2), the movie's action-packed, fun and pacy retelling of true events, as well as Kilmer's incredibly cool supporting performance, have cemented the film as one of the most beloved Westerns ever.

Tombstone is airing on TV tonight on TG4 at 9.20pm. It is also available to stream on Disney+.
