Based on the title character of the same name, the film stars Johnny Depp as Tonto, the narrator of the events and Armie Hammer as John Reid, the Lone Ranger.

William Fichtner, Barry Pepper, Ruth Wilson, James Badge Dale, Tom Wilkinson, Helena Bonham Carter and Curtis Cregan are featured in supporting roles.

In 1869, lawyer John Reid returned home to Colby, Texas via the unfinished Transcontinental Railroad, managed by railroad tycoon Latham Cole. Unknown to Reid, the train also carries Tonto and outlaw Butch Cavendish, who is being sent to hang after being captured by John’s Texas Ranger brother, Dan Reid. Cavendish’s group rescues Butch and causes the train to derail. Tonto was then imprisoned. And then interesting stories happened to him
