Cowboys & Aliens

Cowboys & Aliens unfolds in 1873 when gunslinger Jake Lonergan (Craig) awakens in the Arizona desert with no memory of his past and a mysterious metal shackle encircling his wrist. Stumbling into the nearby town of Absolution, Lonergan discovers a tightly closed community that takes its orders from the iron-fisted Colonel Woodrow Dolarhyde (Ford)—and Dolathyde has a bone to pick with Lonergan. But the colonel's influence wanes when the desolate city is attacked by monsters that drop from the sky with blinding force and abduct the helpless townsfolk one by one. As Lonergan's memory slowly returns, he realizes he holds a secret that could give the town a fighting chance against the alien force. With the help of mysterious beauty Ella (Wilde), he assembles a posse comprised of former opponents, townsfolk, Dolathyde and his boys, outlaws, and Apache warriors. United against a common enemy, they prepare for an epic showdown for survival. Based on Platinum Studios' Cowboys And Aliens by Scott Mitchell Rosenberg. (Gary Reber)
