With the prisoner on the loose, it becomes the job of Texas Ranger Dan Reid to recapture him. With the help of his former gun-slinging buddies, the notorious outlaw escapes his bonds-but not without first wreaking havoc on the nearly completed railroad. Unfortunately, riding on the same train is a shackled criminal named Butch Cavendish (William Fichtner).

Naively optimistic, the zealous lawyer wants to bring his notions of peaceful justice to the Wild West. The story begins with an introduction to John Reid (Armie Hammer), an idealistic law school graduate who is returning from the big city in 1869 to his dusty hometown of Colby, Texas. But before you pack up the kids and grandkids to see this new adventure, with fond memories of the old television series or the radio show that invented these characters racing through your head, know that this masked man is not like the one you remember.

With Pirates franchise director Gore Verbinski at the helm and Johnny Depp playing the iconic Tonto, it is no wonder the film’s previews give us a familiar feeling. Pirates of the Caribbean has invaded the old west in this version of The Lone Ranger.
