Plot

In the heartlands of Texas, young ranger John Reid (Klinton Spilsbury) finds himself the lone survivor of a brutal ambush plotted by the sinister Bartholomew "Butch" Cavendish (Christopher Lloyd), a disgraced military officer turned outlaw leader. Stricken but alive, Reid is discovered and nursed back to health by Tonto (Michael Horse), a childhood friend from the Comanche tribe whose loyalty remains unbroken. As he recovers, Reid's spirit is galvanized. He pledges himself to a life of justice, vowing to eradicate the lawlessness embodied by Cavendish. To this end, he assumes a new identity, cloaking himself in mystery as the iconic masked hero - The Lone Ranger. Alongside Tonto, this unlikely duo forms a formidable force against crime. Their crusade takes a dramatic turn when Cavendish, relentless in his wickedness, ensnares President Ulysses S. Grant (Jason Robards, Jr.) in a dangerous hostage situation. In a race against time, The Lone Ranger and Tonto must outwit and overpower Cavendish, in a bid to rescue the President and bring the outlaw's reign of terror to an end. "The Legend of the Lone Ranger" weaves a thrilling tale of survival, friendship, and the unyielding pursuit of justice in a lawless land. Expect high stakes, gripping tension, and a Western hero like no other.
