The Outlaw is a 1943 Western movie, directed by Howard Hughes and Howard Hawks (uncredited), which turned Jane Russell into one of Hollywood's movie legends. The film also starred Jack Buetel, Thomas Mitchell, and Walter Huston. Buetel plays Billy the Kid in a classic western story.

Although the movie was completed in 1941, it was only released to a limited showing two years later. It didn't see a general release until 1946. The delay was a result of Hughes defying the Hays Code, which set the standard of morally acceptable content in motion pictures. By showcasing Jane Russell's breasts in both the movie and the poster artwork, The Outlaw became one of the most controversial pictures of its time. Hughes even created a new type of bra just for this movie.

Even after Hughes did an "end-run" around the censors, the film was banned on a local level by several towns.

The film was colorized twice. The second colorized version, produced by Legend Films, is planned for a 2007 release.

The film revolves around a fictional relationship between Doc Holliday and Billy the Kid and their feud over a woman called Rio. The film also includes the Kid's nemesis Pat Garrett.
