One of the best Western movies ever is airing on TV tonight

'I'm your huckleberry.'

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 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), the movie's action-packed, fun and pacy retelling of true events - along with Kilmer's incredibly cool supporting performance - has cemented Tombstone 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+.
