One of the best Western movies ever is on TV tonight

The film features one of the coolest performances of all time.

The film revolves around the real-life legend of the Old West, Wyatt Earp (Russell), and his brothers, Morgan and Virgil (Bill Paxton and Sam Elliott). Its story begins with the Earp trio leaving their gunslinger ways behind them so that they can settle down and start a business in the town of Tombstone, Arizona, where a silver boom is underway.

"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 reads.

"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), Tombstone's action-packed, fun and pacy retelling of true events - along with Kilmer's incredibly cool supporting turn as Holliday - has cemented the movie as one of the most beloved Westerns ever.

The film is airing on TV tonight on Film4 at 9pm. It is also available to stream on Disney+.
