Six of today's hottest stars--Emilio Estevez, Keifer Sutherland, Lou Diamond Phillips, Charlie Sheen, Dermot Mulroney and Casey Siemaszko--take on the Wild West in this heart-stopping gunslinging action adventure. The year is 1878, Lincoln County. John Turnvall, a British ranchowner, hires six rebellious boys as "regulators" to protect his ranch against the ruthless Sante Fe Ring. When Turnball is killed in an ambush, the Regulators, led by the wild tempered Billy The Kid (Estevez), declare war on the Ring. As their vendetta turns into a bloody rampage, they are branded outlaws, becoming the objects of the largest manhunt in Western history.
Editor's Note
British ranchowner John Tunstall (Terence Stamp) hires six young men to help him tend and guard his ranch. In addition he also teaches them to read and to be civilized, but soon Tunstall is murdered by a corrupt and ruthless competing cattle rancher. The six 'young guns' go seeking revenge and are erroneously branded outlaws by the law, until they can clear their names. The six young guns are played by Emilio Estevez, Kiefer Sutherland, Lou Diamond Phillips, Charlie Sheen, Dermot Mulroney and Casey Siemaszko.
