Movies that feel likeThe Lone Ranger (2013)

The Texas Rangers chase down a gang of outlaws led by Butch Cavendish, but the gang ambushes the Rangers, seemingly killing them all. One survivor is found, however, by an American Indian named Tonto, who nurses him back to health. The Ranger, donning a mask and riding a white stallion named Silver, teams up with Tonto to bring the unscrupulous gang and others of that ilk to justice.

If you loved The Lone Ranger, the closest films we have are The Magnificent Seven (2016), Kung Fu Jungle (2014) and The Assassin (2015). All three share The Lone Ranger's kinetic and epic feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Enforcement (2020).
