Tombstone
Retired lawman Wyatt Earp and his brothers ride into booming Tombstone to build a new life, only to clash with the ruthless Cowboys gang whose violent crusade threatens to ignite an all‑out war that could destroy the town—and their chance at redemption.
“Every town has a story. Tombstone has a legend.”
Synopsis
Wyatt Earp, a seasoned marshal, arrives in the mining town of Tombstone with his brothers Morgan and Virgil in search of opportunity. As the town faces increasing threats from a gang of outlaws engaged in robbery and cattle rustling, Earp is compelled to take up law enforcement duties once more. He enlists the aid of his longtime associate, Doc Holliday, to help restore order and confront the criminal elements destabilizing the community.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
Principal cast & crew: 33
These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.
Why a floor?
This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.

✅ Made its money back — grossed 2.9× its budget
Why 2.5×?
Cinemas keep roughly half of every ticket sold, and a wide release’s marketing often costs about as much again as the film — so a movie needs to gross around 2.5× its production budget just to break even theatrically. It’s a rule of thumb, not the studio’s ledger (home video and streaming come later).
