Billy Wade is an ex-gunslinger who is approached by his outlaw brother Matt, not long out of prison, to help him with a big-time robbery. Matt forces Billy's participation with an offer he cannot refuse, unaware that Billy is actually working on the side of the law.
A group of five outlaws, led by the ruthless Matt Stone, are released from prison with a plan to get rich quick. They decide to rob the Tombstone stagecoach, which they believe is carrying a large sum of money. However, their plan is complicated by the presence of a former member of their gang, who has gone straight and is now the sheriff of Tombstone.
Five Guns to Tombstone is a standard B-Western that offers little in the way of originality but provides a competent if unremarkable viewing experience. Its straightforward plot and familiar tropes did not garner significant critical attention upon release, but it has found a modest following among fans of the genre.
