''The Gunfight at Dodge City'' is a 1959 [=DeLuxe=] Color Western [=CinemaScope=] film. It was produced by the Mirisch Company, directed by Joseph M. Newman, co-written by Martin Goldsmith and Daniel B. Ullman and starred Creator/JoelMcCrea as UsefulNotes/BatMasterson.
Bat Masterson isn't one to actively seek out trouble, but he never shies away from it either. When a military sergeant in Hays City attempts to take him down and pays the ultimate price, Bat decides to make his way to Dodge City. There, his brother Ed holds the position of city marshal and is running for county sheriff against the corrupt Regan.
In Dodge City, Bat invests in a local saloon and forms a partnership with the widow Lily. However, their peaceful arrangement is disrupted when Bat becomes the target of an ambush. Suddenly, he finds himself in the running for sheriff and inherits Ed's romantic intentions towards Pauline, the daughter of a minister.
Can Bat, a gunslinger with a strong sense of justice but a flexible approach to the law, transform himself into a lawman and lead a settled life? Or will trouble persistently seek him out, making it impossible for him to escape his tumultuous past?
