Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Young Guns is a bombastic Western that has become a cult favorite, but given how eventful the movie is, not every detail of its bloody ending is clear. Based on real events of the Wild West, the 1988 movie follows Billy the Kid and his gang of Regulators, who fight the corrupt Lawrence Murphy in the Lincoln County War.
Prior to Tunstall’s murder, he had approached Alex about trying to expose the corruption of the Santa Fe Ring caused by Murphy. After Tunstall died, Alex was left as the only person with the knowledge of Murphy’s corruption who also had the power to do something about it due to his legal connections. Additionally, Alex voiced his intentions to take over Tunstall’s cattle ranch, which rivaled Murphy’s own cattle operation.
The Real Reason Behind Billy the Kid's Killing Spree Although the Regulators were deputized toward the beginning of Young Guns, Billy the Kid decided to kill as many of Murphy’s men as he could rather than going through legal channels. This leads to the other Regulators speculating that Billy “ain’t all there,” but in actuality, Billy has clear reasoning behind his killing spree.
