“The Lone Ranger” did not do well the first time around when it was in theaters and caused Disney to take a write-off because it lost money.

The Lone Ranger (Armie Hammer), the last of his kind, teams with Tonto (Johnny Depp), a dark and mysterious vigilante, to seek vengeance after justice has failed them. It’s a runaway train of epic surprises, as these two unlikely heroes must learn to work together before the ultimate showdown between good and evil explodes.”
