The Lone Ranger (12A) opens in San Francisco in 1933, with an aged Native American warrior, Tonto (Johnny Depp), telling a young boy about how the legend of the West’s masked lawman began.

It’s “Hi-ho, Silver. Away!” for Gore Verbinski and Johnny Depp, director and Oscar nominated star of the 'Pirates Of The Caribbean' saga, who reunite for this rootin’ tootin’ reinvention of the masked avenger.

Helena Bonham Carter is in talks to star in 'The Lone Ranger'.
