And Not Once Do They Say Hi-Yo Silver! Away!

More than anything, this first trailer from The Lone Ranger shows off the tone Gore Verbinski’s attempting to capture with his big-budget action epic. The trailer stresses the action and doesn’t really bother showing much of either The Lone Ranger (Armie Hammer) or Tonto (played by Johnny Depp). No doubt, Disney and Verbinski are saving that for the next big trailer reveal.
 
The Plot:
 
From producer Jerry Bruckheimer and director Gore Verbinski, the filmmaking team behind the blockbuster Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, comes Disney/Jerry Bruckheimer Films’ The Lone Ranger, a thrilling adventure infused with action and humor, in which the famed masked hero is brought to life through new eyes. Native American spirit warrior Tonto (Johnny Depp) recounts the untold tales that transformed John Reid (Armie Hammer), a man of the law, into a legend of justice—taking the audience on a runaway train of epic surprises and humorous friction as the two unlikely heroes must learn to work together and fight against greed and corruption.
