Tombstone is based on true events.

Wyatt Earp and his brothers Virgil and Morgan arrive at Tombstone, the growing mining town, to settle down. There they meet Doc Holiday, a gambler and ace gunslinger, who has moved to a drier climate because of his tuberculosis, and "Curly Bill", the leader of a band of outlaws who call themselves the "Cowboys".

The three brothers soon realize that the town is overcome by injustice and its inhabitants can no longer live in peace because of the "Cowboys".

When the take up the cause of justice, they are faced with danger, disloyalty and disputes, threatening to damage the strong bond between the brothers.

The relationship between the Earp brothers is strong and at times a rocky ride. The bond they share runs deep, and sets the core of their characters.

Doc Holiday is a funny and fascinating character, with his extreme sarcasm and cynicism as well as his fiercely loyal friendship with Wyatt.

The film is full of epic lines, action and intrigue.

This is the Western genre at its ultimate.
