The Legend of the Lone Ranger
In 1854 in Texas, Bartholomew "Butch" Cavendish (Christopher Lloyd) and his gang of outlaws are chasing a young Comanche boy named Tonto (Michael Horse). He rides into a thicket and falls off his horse and down an embankment. John Reid (Klinton Spilsbury), a boy who was already there, hides Tonto, and the outlaws turn their attention to a small village. They gun down everyone there, except John. Tonto takes John to his reservation and teaches him to shoot a bow and arrow with precision, how to fight, and overall the way they live. The two eventually become blood brothers, and John later leaves the reservation for Detroit, grows up to become a lawyer, and takes a stagecoach to a small town to prepare his law practice. The coach is robbed by Cavendish's gang, with the shotgun rider getting gunned down and the driver wounded. John stops the coach and the outlaws take a mailbag containing property deeds. At the town, John meets the uncle (the owner of a local newspaper) of a beautiful young woman named Amy Striker (Juanin Clay) who was on the stagecoach as John. John tells them he is going to the Texas Rangers station to visit his brother Dan. We learn that Cavendish was a major in the Union Army before he was court-martialed and dishonorably discharged. During John's visit, word reaches them about the whereabouts of Cavendish after some of the gang ride into town during a festival and kill Amy's uncle. One of the Rangers rides ahead to scout for signs of Cavendish, unknown to them, that he is part of Cavendish's gang. Cavendish and his gang ambush the Rangers, gunning down all except John, who is rescued by Tonto. When John recovers from his wounds, Tonto teaches him to shoot with silver bullets, and he captures and tames a white horse, which he names Silver. He dedicates his life to battle the crime that Cavendish represents. To this end, John becomes the great masked western hero, The Lone Ranger. Cavendish takes President Ulyssees S. Grant (Jason Robards Jr.) hostage, revealing that he attempts to take over Texas and secede it from the Union as his own independent country, using the President as a bargaining chip. John and Tonto sneak into the Cavendish compound and rescue Grant, and blow up the compound with dynamite they found while avoiding the guards. Cavendish attempts to escape the United States Calvary, but John pursues and ultimately apprehends Cavendish. The President thanks John and Tonto, and the pair ride away as President Grant asks "Who is that masked man?"
