Walt Disney's The Lone Ranger is the tenth version to be seen in movie theatres or on TV as serials⁴. It is an action-adventure western film directed by Gore⁵ Verbinski. It is based on the 1933 radio serial³ of the same name. The film stars Armie Hammer in the title role and Johnny Depp as his sidekick Tonto. The movie tells the story of a Native American warrior⁶ (Depp) who teams up with John Reid (aka the Lone Ranger) to fight against greed and corruption⁷. They also aim to seek justice for tragedies in their lives. Tonto recruits The Lone Ranger to bring justice to those responsible for destroying his tribe's villages. Reid wants to find the killers⁸ responsible for his brother's apparent death.

 

There has been controversy⁹ over the casting of Depp as Tonto. There are concerns as to whether the film will present a positive and accurate representation of the Native American Comanche people. The film's producers hired an adviser¹⁰ from the Comanche Nation to ensure that Depp's portrayal¹¹ of Tonto would be an honest one. Depp himself has openly dismissed the controversy. He said there is Native American ancestry¹² in his family heritage and thus he has made all efforts to represent the Comanche accurately¹³. He said he considers the role as a personal attempt "to try to right the wrongs of the past", especially because of the often warped¹⁴ way in which Native American culture was portrayed¹⁵ in earlier movies.
