The Lone Ranger is a 2013 action-adventure film directed by Gore Verbinski and produced by Jerry Bruckheimer. It stars Armie Hammer as the Lone Ranger and Johnny Depp as Tonto.
The film begins with a young boy visiting a wild west exhibit at a museum, where he encounters a life-size mannequin of the Lone Ranger. The old Native American, Tonto, sees the boy staring at the exhibit and begins telling him the story of how he and the Lone Ranger became friends and started their adventures.
The story then flashes back to the late 1800s, where John Reid (Armie Hammer), a law-abiding lawyer, returns home to Colby, Texas, to become the town's new sheriff. John's brother Dan (James Badge Dale) is a Texas Ranger, and he invites John to join him on a mission to capture notorious outlaw Butch Cavendish (William Fichtner).
The Rangers are ambushed by Cavendish and his gang, and all but John are killed. Tonto, who has escaped from prison, finds John and nurses him back to health. Tonto believes that John has been chosen by the spirit world to become a legendary warrior, and he teaches him how to fight and ride. Tonto also gives John a mask to hide his identity and a white horse named Silver.
Together, the Lone Ranger and Tonto set out to bring justice to the Wild West and stop the corrupt railroad tycoon Latham Cole (Tom Wilkinson) from exploiting the land and its people. Along the way, they encounter various obstacles and enemies, including the seductive and dangerous Red Harrington (Helena Bonham Carter) and the bloodthirsty outlaw Butch Cavendish.
The Lone Ranger uses his law skills and fighting abilities to bring the bad guys to justice, while Tonto offers his Native American knowledge and spiritual guidance. Together, they become unlikely heroes and protectors of the Wild West.
The film received mixed reviews, with some critics praising the action scenes and chemistry between Hammer and Depp, while others criticized its over-the-top humor and convoluted plot. Despite its mixed reception, The Lone Ranger was nominated for two Academy Awards for Best Visual Effects and Best Makeup and Hairstyling.
