In 1933 a boy discovers an ancient Native American in a sideshow carnival tent. The Indian is Tonto (Johnny Depp), the old companion of John Reid (Armie Hammer), a lawman more famously known as the Lone Ranger. With this opportunity to set the record straight about his and Reid's adventures, Tonto recalls the day in 1869 when he first encountered the man who would be his trusted friend and tells of their teamwork bringing down Butch Cavendish (William Fichtner) and other Old West outlaws.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Armie Hammer and Johnny Depp make for an appealing pair of leads, but they're not enough to make up for The Lone Ranger's bland script, bloated length, and blaring action overkill.

“The Lone Ranger” loses itself in its overbearing insanity and bloated, uneven plot. It never feels like a western and it never knows when to end. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Alex.Young T @Alextual Feb 24 Very lengthy but entertaining film. See more thiago s @Thiagostone Feb 4 Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom See more Dominic Emmanuel S @dominic726 Jan 28 this movie is honestly a worse Disney western movie than home on the range mainly because it drags way to long and has a tone whiplash worse than Dark Shadows (2012) See more j-dizzle T. @gondorcallsforaid Nov 20 Fun movie. Fantastic score. And two good leads as like a buddy-cop movie See more Ken W @RT94540804 Oct 4 I don't get why this has such a low rating - I actually found this touching, profound despite the superficial comedy, and definitely very watchable - kind of an Indiana Jones vibe overall, but at the same time with a more tangible connection to actual tragic history that most action movies simply avoid. The settings and scenery are also very detailed and beautiful and deserving of a high def format and screen. In today's times of cynicism, fake everything, and sensory overload, somehow this movie managed to get through and keep me engaged.
