Gunfighters: Living The Legend looks at the gunfighter and the weapon that made him legend as well as those today who seek to keep the ideas of the Old West alive today.

From the dime novel to the Hollywood Blockbuster, our perception of the Old West has been seen through the lens of the storyteller. The American Old West and the gunfighter have become a thing of legend, but the ideals they represent still live on. Gunfighters: Living The Legend is a documentary that takes a unique look at the historical aspects of the Old West and reveals the effects of the media on our modern perception of the gunfighter. Additionally, it takes a look at the people and groups who are working today to keep the history and the idea of the Old West alive.
