The Landscape of the American Southwest reigns supreme in the 2013 film "The Lone Ranger." This area of the Four Corners presents within "its soaring Azure sky and stark landscapes one of the most hauntingly beautiful regions on earth" described by William deBuys in "A Great Aridness". "The Lone Ranger" is a luscious, engaging and gratifying cowboy movie, filmed on location in New Mexico and Utah.

This great setting of the Four Corners is a Westerns habitat

The Lone Range achieves his goal with the help and guidance of both of Tonto, a spirit warrior, and Silver the white horse who knows the destiny set for both humans. The Lone Ranger manages not to kill anyone as the villains manage to create their own Karmic style deaths.
