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.

The film's central thesis explicitly promotes progressive ideology by critiquing the systemic injustices of American expansionism, corporate greed, and the genocide of Native Americans, framing these as the core problem.
The film features a traditionally cast white hero, and its attempt at diversity through the character of Tonto was widely criticized for casting a white actor in a Native American role. While the narrative includes a subtle critique of colonialism and some white characters are portrayed negatively due to their actions, it does not explicitly condemn traditional identities.
Tonto, a character canonically established as Native American in the source material and previous adaptations, is portrayed by Johnny Depp, a white actor, in the 2013 film.
The film "The Lone Ranger" does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters, relationships, or themes. Its narrative focuses on traditional Western tropes, making the portrayal of LGBTQ+ elements N/A.
The film features Rebecca Reid and Red Harrington as prominent female characters. While Red Harrington is a strong figure who uses a hidden firearm for defense, neither she nor Rebecca Reid engage in or win close-quarters physical combat against male opponents. Their roles do not include direct hand-to-hand or melee weapon victories.
The 2013 film adaptation of "The Lone Ranger" maintains the established genders for all its core characters from the original radio series and subsequent adaptations. No canonical male or female characters were portrayed as a different gender.
