Tombstone
Tombstone is a movie set back in the 1800's whenever people were allowed to carry guns and murders in the towns were a usual thing.

Doc Holliday was the calm sarcastic type, who was addicted to alcohol and cigarettes. Because of Doc's addiction, he was diagnosed with tuberculosis which often made him sick. Doc's wife was a party-type girl, with no cares whatsoever pertaining to her husband or herself.. Wyatt Earp had two brothers, Morgan and Virgil. Virgil was oldest, followed by Wyatt, and Morgan was the youngest. Wyatt's wife, Mattie, was addicted to opium, and did not get along too well with her husband.

Towards the end, Wyatt Earp gets the message that Johnny Ringo wants to have a shoot out by the big oak tree in the grove. Since Doc was sick, he was forced to stay at a ranch until he got better. As Wyatt was going to the big oak to meet his death, Doc sneaks out of the ranch and finds Johnny Ringo waiting under the tree for Wyatt. Johnny thinks that the person coming is Wyatt, when it is actually Doc Holliday, the only person he can't beat.
