''Sunset'' is a 1988 film released by TriStar Pictures. Written and directed by [[Blake Edwards]], the movie stars [[Bruce Willis]] as legendary western actor Tom Mix and James Garner as legendary lawman Wyatt Earp. The story is based on Rod Amateau's novel ''Sunset'', which was loosely based on fact as Earp actually did serve as technical adviser for some early silent westerns. |

Set in Hollywood of the late 1920s during the waning days of the industry's transition to sound film, producer and studio head Alfie Alperin wants to produce a great Western movie about Wyatt Earp. Tom Mix is cast as the great United States Marshal and the ''real'' Earp is on set as a technical adviser. But before Earp and Mix can start their movie adventure they are caught in a real case of murder, prostitution and corruption. Together they try to straighten out the problems of the missing son of Earp's former girlfriend, Christina. But now she is Alfie's wife -- and he isn't amused by Earp's investigations. The fact that the young man's older sister is dating a notorious mobster and that all three were at the scene of a murder doesn't help. Soon Earp unveils the true sadistic character of Alfie Alperin, and after the death of Christina [[It's Personal|matters become personal]]. |
