Wild Bill Hickok was one of America's true-life legends, a strong man and an excellent gunfighter. Woman wanted to love him, men wanted to be him, and he never wanted his reputation to be tarnished - he never, ever would back down from a challenge.

Near what would end up being the end of his life, he returns to the gold town of Deadwood. There he reunites with old flame and competitive friend Calamity Jane. His eyesight fading, years flashing by, and reflexes slowing, he was still determined to go out like he always had - gambling, fighting, and never backing away from a challenge.

And when a young man came to town, threatening to kill Bill, there was only one thing he could do...

MOVIE REVIEW

Jeff Bridges is Wild Bill in... Wild Bill and Ellen Barkin is Calamity Jane. In substance, this is your run-of-the-mill western movie - You have the good guys and the bad guys, easily defined, and the bad guys get shot up by the good guys... well, the good guy. However, in filming technique, Wild Bill is a rather original piece of work, but maybe just a little too strange.
