About

You can stream Gunsmoke (1955) on Apple TV+ with a subscription.

Gunsmoke is an American radio and television Western drama series created by director Norman MacDonnell and writer John Meston. The stories take place in and around Dodge City, Kansas, during the settlement of the American West. The central character is lawman Marshal Matt Dillon, played by William Conrad on radio and James Arness on television.

Dusty streets and lawless frontiers define the tension of Dodge City, where order is maintained by a single, steady hand. This quintessential western builds its legend through character-driven conflicts rather than mere gunfights.
