Overview
The Texas Rangers chase down a gang of outlaws led by Butch Cavendish, but the gang ambushes the Rangers, seemingly killing them all. One survivor is found, however, by an American Indian named Tonto, who nurses him back to health. The Ranger, donning a mask and riding a white stallion named Silver, teams up with Tonto to bring the unscrupulous gang and others of that ilk to justice. Wikipedia โ†—

Audience Consensus

The Lone Ranger is a 2013 American Western action film directed by Gore Verbinski, a massive-budget reimagining of the classic character. Armie Hammer stars as John Reid, a mild-mannered lawyer who becomes the masked vigilante known as the Lone Ranger after his brother and fellow Texas Rangers are massacred by the outlaw Butch Cavendish, played by William Fichtner. Johnny Depp co-stars as Tonto, a Comanche warrior with his own vendetta against Cavendish, who guides the naive Reid through the lawless West while narrating the story as an elderly Tonto in a 1933 carnival sideshow.

The Lone Ranger's $215 million budget made it one of the most expensive films ever produced, and its commercial performance of $260 million worldwide resulted in a widely reported loss for Disney. The train chase climax, set to the William Tell Overture, was a spectacular, Rube Goldberg-esque action sequence that many critics praised as the film's finest stretch.
