A gang of ruthless outlaws…a pair of larger-than-life heroes…a timeless tale of good versus evil. Blended together, the result is a sprawling, epic adventure bigger than the wild frontier—Gunfight at the O.K. Corral. Screen legends Burt Lancaster (Vera Cruz) and Kirk Douglas (Lonely Are the Brave) team up to rid Tombstone, Arizona of the murderous Clanton gang in this all-star, action-packed classic. When lawman Wyatt Earp (Lancaster) and gunfighter John “Doc” Holliday (Douglas) ride into town, they find themselves pitted against one of the biggest foes ever encountered, in the form of Ike Clanton (Lyle Bettger) and his posse of cutthroats. It isn’t long before the confrontation explodes into a survival-at-all-costs battle, with Rhonda Fleming, Jo Van Fleet, John Ireland, Dennis Hopper, DeForest Kelley, Martin Milner and Lee Van Cleef among the screen luminaries swept into the drama and excitement of the Wild West’s most legendary six-gun showdown. Shot by Charles Lang (How the West Was Won), scored by Dimitri Tiomkin (High Noon), scripted by Leon Uris (Exodus) and staged magnificently by John Sturges, director of Bad Day at Black Rock, The Magnificent Seven and The Great Escape.
