The Gunfight at the O. K. Corral is a legendary event which has been portrayed in numerous Western films. The actual event occurred on October 26, 1881 in a vacant lot near the corral, in Tombstone, Arizona (a corral is like a livery stable; the analogous location in Denver was called the Elephant Corral).

Wyatt Earp, Morgan Earp, Virgil Earp, and Doc Holliday, faught against the Clanton brothers.

An episode of Discovery Channel's Unsolved History uses modern technology to reenact the incident concluding that this was a misuse of police power.
