Storyline Hour of the Gun 1967
Hour of the Gun is a 1967 Western film depicting Wyatt Earp
and Doc Holliday during their 1881 battles against Ike Clanton and his brothers
in the Gunfight at the O.K. Corral, and the gunfight's aftermath in and around
Tombstone, Arizona, starring James Garner as Earp, Jason Robards as Holliday,
and Robert Ryan as Clanton. The movie was directed by John Sturges.
The picture is based on the non-fiction book Tombstone's
Epitaph by Douglas D. Martin, with a screenplay by Edward Anhalt.
Outnumbered but determined, Wyatt Earp (James Garner), his
brothers Virgil (Frank Converse) and Morgan (Sam Melville) and ally Doc
Holliday (Jason Robards) confront and clearly get the best of the Ike Clanton
gang in a violent shootout at the O.K. Corral in the Arizona town of Tombstone.
Ike (Robert Ryan), a rustler, conspires to have the Earps
charged with murder and tried in a court of law. When they are cleared, Virgil
runs for Tombstone City Sheriff, but is ambushed and maimed by some of
Clanton's hired guns. Morgan elects to take the job in his brother's place,
but, unlike his brother, he is killed.
Doc Holliday, a gambler who has been on the wrong side of
the law himself more than once, is terminally ill with tuberculosis and is
admitted into a Colorado sanitarium. Earp intends to clear out of Tombstone
with what's left of his family and move to California, but changes his mind
upon being appointed a federal marshal for the territory.
Guns blazing, Earp and his posse ruthlessly hunt and kill
various members of Clanton's gang. He rides to Mexico for a final showdown with
Ike, shooting him dead. He makes one last trip to Holliday's death bed to say
goodbye to his unlikely friend, then hangs up his badge and guns for good.
