Subscribe FreeDirector Cosmtos introduces five scenes deleted from the original three hour plus cut that provides the missing storyline pieces.
Tombstone is a stylized western action film starring Kurt Russell as Wyatt Earp, an ex-law enforcer who has left his past with his two brothers (Sam Elliott and Bill Paxton) to set up a new and more peaceful business-like life in Arizona. To their surprise Arizona is far from orderly as “The Cowboys” run rampant through the streets inflicting mayhem. Earp and family don’t want to get involved but soon find themselves obliged to defend the law again when a violent shootout leaves innocent towns people slain. Silver badges pinned, Earp and crew along with Doc Holliday (Val Kilmer), participate in a series of action-packed gunfights which keep Tombstone at a steady pace. A troubled production from the get go due to its original director and screenwriter being replaced, the continuity is patchy.
