A Native American from the distant past is unearthed by a young boy in a carnival tent in 1933. Tonto (Johnny Depp) is an old friend of the lawman John Reid (Armie Hammer), better known as the Lone Ranger. Tonto uses this chance to clear the air regarding his and Reid’s exploits, detailing their joint efforts to capture notorious outlaws like Butch Cavendish (William Fichtner) and others in the Wild West. Tonto and Reid first met in 1869.
