Tired of Hollywood's version of the West? Ready for the truth?


THE GUNFIGHTERS is a passage of true stories about the forgotten names of; Bill Longley, Clay Allison, Luke Short, Ben Thompson, King Fisher and John Wesley Hardin who demonstrated deadly equality as legends from the Wild West. Their reputations as legendary triggermen will finally be exposed in this one of kind series.

The call of the Gunfighter carried either a badge, or a wanted poster with its title. Legends such as Jesse James, Wyatt Earp and Billy the Kid stealing the headlines, these unsung gunslingers of the past, fell through the cracks of sensationalism. Who were these OTHER Gunfighters?

As the legends walked the crooked streets of the West, our Gunfighters witness what really went on behind the scenes of these historic gunfights. In a time of holsters and the peacemaker as the ideal weapon, the best of the best pulled from his pants or coat pocket in a masterful display of gunslinging. Like in gambling, Gunfighting is more about nerves than the quickness of a draw. Survival was achieved by keeping your anonymity of a gunslinger and survive to play your hand another day.

The legend of the west was not a love story. It was a brutal defining time for the brave people who fought their way across untamed land. The Gunfighters is a special look into the raw grit and spit of the dirty west. These unsung legends finally brand their name into history in this true portrayal of THE GUNFIGHTERS.
