Kevin Costner’s ‘Tombstone’ Replacement Is Still a Masterpiece, 32 Years Later

Move over Tombstone, because there’s another Western in streaming town. Okay, fine, if there was enough room for both Wyatt Earp interpretations back in the ’90s, there’s definitely enough room for them now. Still, considering that the 1993 Kurt Russellflick fixates on a particular window into Earp’s complicated life and history, the competing motion picture starring Kevin Costner (which came out months later in 1994) deserves some extra love after being sidelined for all these years. Yes, we’re talking about Wyatt Earp, a film that grew out of Costner’s departure from the cast of Tombstone in the first place.
