Summary

In this retelling of The Lone Ranger legacy from Pirates of the Caribbean director Gore Verbinski, the masked hero (Armie Hammer) is once again partnered with Native American companion Tonto (Johnny Depp) to fight injustice in the Old American West. This time, the threat comes from industrialist Latham Cole (Tom Wilkinson) - who utilizes the recent invention of railroad technology to carve a path of malevolence on his way to money and power. Will the two unlikely heroes stop Cole before the greedy evildoer can secure power and authority that could shape the West in all the wrong ways? Hi-yo, Silver! Away!
