help Last Train from Gun Hill FAQ
Why does Marshal Matt Morgan go to Gun Hill?
Morgan travels to Gun Hill after identifying the saddle left by the men who raped and murdered his wife. The saddle belongs to his old friend Craig Belden, and one of the killers is Belden's son Rick.
Why is the last train so important in Last Train from Gun Hill?
Morgan intends to arrest Rick Belden and take him out of town on the 9:00 train. Craig Belden uses his control over Gun Hill to prevent that departure, turning the timetable into the story's central deadline.
How do Kirk Douglas and Anthony Quinn's characters know each other?
Matt Morgan and Craig Belden were once close friends, and Morgan previously saved Belden's life. That history makes their confrontation more personal than a standard lawman-versus-rancher conflict.
Does Last Train from Gun Hill resemble Gunfight at the O.K. Corral?
Both are John Sturges Westerns starring Kirk Douglas and built around prominent male adversaries. Last Train from Gun Hill is a separate story, however, adapted from a Les Crutchfield story and centered on a murder arrest rather than the Earp-Clanton conflict.
