Walter Hill's Wild Bill Hickok legend is a dreamscape western told in flashback, with Charley Prince narrating events from Hickok's graveside. Jeff Bridges plays Hickok as a mean, high-spirited, and gallant outlaw, wandering the West and adding to his reputation with gunfights. He meets Calamity Jane, becomes a legend, joins Buffalo Bill Cody's show, falls in love with Susannah Moore, and meets tragedy in Deadwood, South Dakota.
