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.

Larushka Ivan-Zadeh metro.co.uk Guess what? It's not actually that bad. Rated: 2/5 Sep 5, 2017 Full Review Monica Castillo Bitch Media In short, the "spirit guide" of this film would be an odious trash heap. May 10, 2016 Full Review Chris Stuckmann ChrisStuckmann.com A horrifically boring movie that feels like a long lost sequel to Wild Wild West (1999), another big-budget western disaster. Rated: C- Apr 23, 2015 Full Review Iván Kazi EscribiendoCine The Lone Ranger employs positive elements of the Western and doesn't stop being entertaining. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 6/10 Apr 12, 2023 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review Even if, at times, the end result isn’t coherent or well balanced, it’s laudable in its defiance of the ordinary. Rated: 3/4 Sep 2, 2022 Full Review Keith Garlington Keith & the Movies “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. Rated: 2/5 Aug 23, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

Greg R Thought it was a pretty funny movie kept me interested in it. I give it a thumb 👍 up Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/12/24 Full Review Tuld W I thought, even though it was very silly and Hollywood, it was thoroughly entertaining and left me with a big smile throughout. Sometimes that's all you need! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 11/01/24 Full Review Ryland C The most boring western movie I have seen. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 10/23/24 Full Review jim t All the critical drawbacks are valid. But when you hear Armie declare 'Hi Ho Silver' and the William Tell overture ensues all sins are forgiven. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 07/26/24 Full Review Angel Nicolas B Abysmal was invented for this trash Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/06/24 Full Review Kathy V A very fun movie. Great entertainment.
