A historically inaccurate movie that has all the joy of a superhero team up with all the historical figures included.
Honestly, it was enjoyable. Wayne has some classic lines my dad was eager to repeat.

A really good original western with a great story. The characters are also great my top 3 obviously being Billy The Kid played by Geoffrey Deuel, John Chisum played by The legendary John Wayne and Pat Garret played by Glenn Corbett.
