The Lone Ranger is a 2013 American western action film directed by Gore Verbinski from a screenplay written by Justin Haythe, Ted Elliott and Terry Rossio. Based on the radio series 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). It relates Tonto's memories of the duo's earliest efforts to subdue local villainy and bring justice to the American Old West. William Fichtner, Barry Pepper, Ruth Wilson, James Badge Dale, Tom Wilkinson and Helena Bonham Carter also are featured in supporting roles. It is the first theatrical film featuring the Lone Ranger and Tonto characters in more than 32 years.
Produced by Walt Disney Pictures, Jerry Bruckheimer Films, and Depp's Infinitum Nihil, filming was plagued with production problems and budgetary concerns, which at one point led to the film's premature cancellation. The film was released theatrically in the United States on July 3, 2013.
The film grossed only $260.5 million worldwide against an estimated $225 million production budget, and an additional $150 million marketing budget. While the movie received generally negative reviews for its inconsistent tone and an underwhelming second act, praises for the film went to its ambition, thrilling set-pieces, and its critique on American myths, with film critic Matt Zoller Seitz predicting that the film will eventually be re-evaluated and considered "misunderstood" for its time. The film received two Academy Award nominations for Best Visual Effects and Best Makeup and Hairstyling.
