When Earp 's brothers are killed by goons employed by Ike Clanton (Robert Ryan), Earp becomes obsessed with vengeance and organizes a posse to track down the killers.
James Garner tries for something very different from his usual performance here, avoiding any trace of his usual geniality in portraying a taciturn, emotionally repressed Wyatt Earp, deeply troubled and torn by the obligations and limitations of the law, in a pursuit of justice that turns to vengeance.
He literally melts into the role of Earp, but the spare nature of Anhalt 's script doesn't give the actor enough to work with in forming a whole character; perhaps the real Wyatt Earp was too contemptible by today's standards to flesh the role out too much in the script.
