Maverick writer-director Walter Hill's version of the famous Wild Bill Hickok legend is a dreamscape western that is told entirely in flashback. Hickok's friend Charley Prince (John Hurt) narrates the events of Wild Bill's life while sitting at Bill's graveside. Hickok is played by Jeff Bridges as a mean, high-spirited, but gallant outlaw. He wanders the West, adding to his reputation with some well-chosen gunfights, and he meets up with characters such as Calamity Jane (Ellen Barkin), who becomes his sidekick for a time. After becoming a legend, Hickok signs up for a stint with Buffalo Bill Cody's traveling variety show. Eventually, he falls in love with Susannah Moore (Diane Lane), and his love leads him to tragedy in the town of Deadwood, SD.

from Fort Lauderdale, Florida A Biographical Western Drama.
Based on the play, Fathers and Sons by Thomas Babe and adapted from the novel, Deadwood by Pete Dexter. Jeff Bridges portrays James Butler "Wild Bill" Hickok (1837-76), the hard-drinking, quick-shooting gunslinger, who finds comfort in the arms of sexy Calamity Jane (Ellen Barkin) when he's haunted by the memory of another woman, he truly loved and he is being stalked by a mysterious stranger, who wants him dead. A favorite for die hard Western movie buffs. Also starring John Hurt, Diane Lane, Keith Carradine, Christina Applegate, Bruce Dern, James Gammon, David Arquette, Marjoe Gortner, James Remar, Karen Huie, Lee de Broux, Stoney Jackson, Robert Knott, Steve Reevis, Dennis Hayden, John Dennis Johnston, and Teresa Gilmore.
