Thirty-eight years after they first rode onto the big screen and redefined the Western for a new generation, the Regulators are riding again. FAN EXPO Dallas has announced that the stars of the iconic 1988 cult classic “Young Guns” will reunite September 11–13, 2026, at the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center in Dallas, Texas.
Fans will have the rare opportunity to see Emilio Estevez, Kiefer Sutherland, Charlie Sheen, Lou Diamond Phillips, Dermot Mulroney, and Casey Siemaszko together for one of the most complete “Young Guns” cast reunions ever assembled.
For fans who grew up quoting the film, debating who was the fastest draw, and cheering as Billy the Kid and the Regulators outran the law, the appearance promises to be an unforgettable celebration of one of cinema’s most beloved ensemble casts.
“This is exactly the kind of once-in-a-lifetime moment FAN EXPO Dallas was created to deliver,” said Andrew Moyes, Vice President of FAN EXPO HQ. “Young Guns wasn’t just a movie—it was lightning in a bottle. It captured the rebellious spirit of a generation and turned a group of young actors into icons. To reunite this many members of the cast nearly four decades later is extraordinary, and we know fans will travel from across the country to experience it.”
Released in 1988, “Young Guns” brought a fresh jolt of energy to the Western, transforming the genre into a fast-paced, stylish action adventure for a new audience. Anchored by a charismatic cast of rising stars, the film reimagined the legend of Billy the Kid and the Lincoln County Regulators with humor, swagger, and youthful energy.
The movie became a box-office success and an enduring cult favorite, spawning a sequel and cementing itself as a defining touchstone of 1980s pop culture. Nearly four decades later, fans continue to celebrate the film’s unforgettable characters, quotable dialogue, and outlaw attitude.
Now, for one weekend only, the men behind those legends will come together in Dallas.
Attendees will have opportunities for autographs, professional photo opportunities, and special appearances celebrating the legacy of “Young Guns” and its lasting impact on generations of movie fans.
“People still cheer when they hear, ‘Regulators, mount up,'” Moyes said. “That enthusiasm has never faded. This reunion is about nostalgia, shared memories, and giving fans the chance to celebrate a film that meant so much to them with the people who brought it to life.”
Few reunions carry this level of nostalgia, star power, and emotional connection. For longtime fans, it is a chance to relive one of the defining movie experiences of the late 1980s. For younger audiences discovering the film for the first time, it is an opportunity to witness a piece of Hollywood history.
The West was wild. The legends endured. This September, the Regulators ride again.
