Texas Rangers is a Western action movie directed by Steve Miner and released in 2001. The film is loosely based on the true story of the formation of the Texas Rangers, a law enforcement agency that was created in the 1820s and tasked with bringing order to the wild and dangerous frontier of Texas.
At the beginning of the movie, we see Leander McNelly (played by Dylan McDermott) receiving a letter from the Governor of Texas, inviting him to form a company of Rangers to patrol the border with Mexico and combat the growing threat of banditry and lawlessness. McNelly is a former Confederate soldier and experienced lawman, and he takes on the mission with enthusiasm.
After recruiting a core group of men who fought with him in the war, McNelly sets out to find new recruits among the young and inexperienced men of Texas. He is joined by a colorful cast of characters, including George Durham (James Van Der Beek), a young man with a fiery spirit and a talent for shooting, and Robert O. Shelby (Ashton Kutcher), a cocky cowboy who has a talent for getting into trouble.
As the Rangers start their mission, they are quickly confronted with the harsh realities of life on the frontier. They encounter ruthless bandits, corrupt politicians, and hostile Mexican soldiers who are determined to defend their territory at all costs. McNelly and his men must rely on their wits, their courage, and their skill with guns to survive and triumph over these obstacles.
Throughout the movie, we see the Rangers bonding with each other, learning to trust and rely on one another, and growing into true heroes of the Texas frontier. They also encounter a number of historical figures, including John Wesley Hardin (Randy Travis), a notorious outlaw who was later captured by the Rangers, and Governor Richard Coke (Tom Skerritt), who gives them their mission.
Overall, Texas Rangers is an exciting and action-packed movie that captures the spirit of the Old West and the bravery of the men who defended it. It is a tribute to the legendary Texas Rangers and their enduring legacy as one of the most respected law enforcement agencies in American history.
