Which 1995 Western directed by Sam Raimi starred Sharon Stone?

The 1995 Western directed by Sam Raimi and starring Sharon Stone is 'The Quick and the Dead'. Stone plays Ellen, known as 'The Lady', a gunfighter who enters a deadly quick-draw competition in the frontier town of Redemption.

The tournament is controlled by John Herod, a powerful and ruthless gunslinger played by Gene Hackman. Ellen's participation is driven by revenge for her father's death, giving the film a classic Western duel structure while placing a woman at the center of the action. Russell Crowe plays Cort, and Leonardo DiCaprio appears as Herod's son, The Kid.

Raimi brought a highly stylized visual approach to the material, using rapid editing, dramatic camera angles, and exaggerated gunfight staging. The screenplay was written by Simon Moore, with additional rewrites during production. Principal photography took place largely at Old Tucson Studios in Arizona, and the film was released in the United States on February 10, 1995. Its title is sometimes confused with other Westerns, but 'Maverick', 'Wyatt Earp', and 'Tombstone' were not the film directed by Raimi and led by Stone.
