On April 28, 1881, Henry McCarty, AKA Billy the Kid, days from being hanged for murder, outfoxed jailors and electrified the nation with the latest in a long line of miraculous escapes. An outlaw with a deadly reputation, he was finally gunned down by the ambitious sheriff Pat Garrett just a few weeks later.

The halting of one of the most notorious criminals of the age made front-page news and marked the end of Billy- but it was the beginning of one of the west's most enduring legends. This documentary takes a fascinating look at the boy behind the myth, and features interviews with a wide variety of western historians and writers, putting a human face on the legend who transformed himself from a skinny orphan boy to the most feared man in the west.
