A classic Western action movie is on TV tonight

The film has an absolutely star-studded cast.

Set in 1878 in Lincoln County, the story kicks off when John Tunstall (the late and great Terence Stamp), a British ranch owner, hires six rebellious boys as "regulators" to protect his ranch against the ruthless Santa Fe Ring.

"When Tunstall is killed in an ambush, the Regulators, led by the wild-tempered Bill the Kid (Emilio Estevez), declare war on the Ring," the plot synopsis reads.

"As their vendetta turns into a bloody rampage, they are branded outlaws, becoming the objects of the largest manhunt in Western history."

Based loosely on true events, Young Guns was a huge hit upon release. This is partly due to its cast, which is packed full of '80s stars.

This includes Casey Siemaszko, Charlie Sheen, Dermot Mulroney, Jack Palance, Kiefer Sutherland, Lou Diamond Phillips, Terry O'Quinn, as well as a Tom Cruise cameo.

In fact, Young Guns was such a success that it quickly earned a sequel titled Young Guns II, which came out two years later.

The original is airing on TV tonight on the channel Legend at 9pm.

It is also available to rent on Amazon, Apple TV, Google Play, Rakuten TV and the Sky Store.
