Synopsis
Maverick writer-director
Walter Hill
's version of the famous Wild Bill Hickok legend is a dreamscape western that is told entirely in flashback. Hickok's friend Charley Prince (
John Hurt
) narrates the events of Wild Bill's life while sitting at Bill's graveside. Hickok is played by
Jeff Bridges
as a mean, high-spirited, but gallant outlaw. He wanders the West, adding to his reputation with some well-chosen gunfights, and he meets up with characters such as Calamity Jane (
Ellen Barkin
), who becomes his sidekick for a time. After becoming a legend, Hickok signs up for a stint with Buffalo Bill Cody's traveling variety show. Eventually, he falls in love with Susannah Moore (
Diane Lane
), and his love leads him to tragedy in the town of Deadwood, SD. ~ Michael Betzold, All Movie Guide
