《独行侠》最早是一出电台节目，诞生于30年代，之后被改编成电影、电视、漫画、小说等多种形式。故事中，一队德克萨斯骑警遭到匪徒伏击，主角约翰·雷德（John Reid）被印第安人Tonto所救，之后他化身为骑白马戴面具的“孤胆骑警”，将各种歹徒缉拿归案并交给法律审判，Tonto则成为独行侠在行侠仗义、除暴安良时的战斗助手。

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 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.
