A classical Western origin story centered on moral duty and the establishment of law in a lawless frontier town, driven by gunfighter action and civic responsibility.

Former buffalo hunter and entrepreneur Wyatt Earp arrives in the lawless cattle town of Wichita Kansas. His skill as a gun-fighter makes him a perfect candidate for Marshal, but he refuses the job until he feels morally obligated to bring law and order to this wild town.
