Synopsis:
In a lawless and violent time, six young outcasts are hired by an English merchant, John Tunstall (Terence Stamp), as “regulators” to guard his ranch against the mob, a corrupt and powerful ring. When their employer is killed in an ambush and the law is powerless to punish the killers, the Regulators declare war on the Ring.
In the course of their vendetta, they become the object of the biggest manhunt in the history of the West. As their fame grows, so will the legend of their leader, a young gunman whom the newspapers are already starting to call Billy the Kid.
Young Guns is a 1988 American biographical Western film directed by Christopher Cain and written by John Fusco. The film is the first to be produced by Morgan Creek Productions. The film stars Emilio Estevez, Kiefer Sutherland, Lou Diamond Phillips, Charlie Sheen, Dermot Mulroney, Casey Siemaszko, Terence Stamp, Terry O’Quinn, Brian Keith, and Jack Palance.
The film is a retelling of the adventures of Billy the Kid during the Lincoln County War, which took place in New Mexico during 1877–78. It was filmed in and around New Mexico. Historian Paul Hutton called Young Guns the most historically accurate of all Billy the Kid films as of June 1990. It opened number one at the box office and eventually grossed 56 million against an 11 million budget. A sequel, Young Guns II, was released in August 1990.
