    Early Films

    The first filmed version of the Lone Ranger was a 15-chapter movie serial in 1938. Titled 'The Lone Ranger,' it starred Lee Powell as the Masked Rider, but was actually designed to leave both the villains, and audience, guessing which of five men was, in fact, the Lone Ranger. This serial was later edited into a feature under the title 'Hi-Yo Silver.' A second serial, 'The Lone Ranger Rides Again,' also 15 chapters, followed in 1939. This time Robert Livingstontook over the role. Clayton Moor...

    1981 Film

    The Lone Ranger returned to the big screen in 1981 with the big-budget feature film The Legend Of The Lone Ranger, which retold the origin story of the Lone Ranger. Klinton Spilsbury played the title character in the film, though his dialogue was later overdubbed by James Keach. This film became an unmitigated box office failure, due in large part to a move by Jack Wrather, who owned the rights to the Lone Ranger. In an effort not to 'confuse' the fans, Wrather decided to obtain a court order...

Armie Hammer, who played both twins in The Social Network, was cast as the Lone Ranger, and Verbinski chose Johnny Depp to play Tonto. This Lone Ranger film was accused of de-emphasizing the Lone Ranger in favor of Tonto, and Depp's performance as Tonto was criticized. Already a target of withering fire from critics, this film was also a flop, having cost an estima...
