To commemorate the 35th anniversary of the classic 1988 Western film Young Guns, Lionsgate has chosen to revisit and re-release the movie. Helmed by director Christopher Cain and written by John Fusco, the story delves into the thrilling escapades of Billy the Kid during the Lincoln County War in the 1870s. The legend unfolds when British ranch owner John Tunstall recruits six boys to safeguard his ranch against the Santa Fe Ring, but tragically falls victim to an ambush. This act drives leader Billy to declare war, leading his crew to be labelled as some of the nation's most infamous outlaws. With the forthcoming 4K release accompanied by a brand-new transfer featuring Dolby Vision HDR, audiences can now experience the breathtaking Western landscapes with utmost clarity and vibrancy.

Dubbed the “Brat Pack Western,” Young Guns features a cast of '80s heartthrobs. Emilio Estevez takes on the role of Billy the Kid, while Kiefer Sutherland joins him as Doc Scurlock. Lou Diamond Phillips, Charlie Sheen, Dermot Mulroney, and Casey Siemaszko complete the ensemble, adding to the widespread appeal of the project and contributing to its enduring legacy. The film's success led to a sequel in 1990, titled Young Guns II. In 2021, Estevez confirmed that a third Young Guns movie is in the works.
