The epic biography of western lawman Wyatt Earp, who at an early age, is taught that nothing matters more than family and the law. He becomes a respected sheriff in Dodge City and Tombstone. Joined by his brothers and Doc Holliday, Earp wages war on the dreaded Clanton and McLaury gangs.

Critics Consensus

Easy to admire yet difficult to love, Wyatt Earp buries eye-catching direction and an impressive cast in an undisciplined and overlong story.

Wyatt Earp tries to confront us with something weightier than the pleasures of old-fashioned heroism. Unfortunately, it ends up offering something sketchier: a psychodramatic hero without a center.

Wyatt Earp presents unvarnished historical realism as a kind of ultimate Truth, and it might actually work if Kasdan didn't keep piling on the Western-movie clichés.

Gorgeously shot and meticulously designed, Wyatt Earp is big, solemn -- and barely alive.

...a slow-moving and relentlessly erratic endeavor that nevertheless remains quite watchable from start to finish...

A laborious epic Western in an otherwise handsomely mounted production.

4/5

Director Lawrence Kasdan's three-hour plus journey to the notorious shoot-out at the OK Corral is a monumental western that works both as a serious history lesson and as a quietly understated drama.

A very underrated western. A nice biopic with good direction, good acting, beautiful Cinematography, and an epic score that suits a three hour long epic like this. While the film was a good watch the only gripe is that some storylines are not paid off. Dennis Quaid gives the most entertaining performance of all as Doc Holiday. He's unrecognizable yet so entertaining. He deserved an Oscar nomination for his performance in this.

A 90's classic. Great cast and performances throughout. Costner fits the role. Beautifully shot and the storytelling keeps it interesting despite the long runtime.
