First of all, this movie has many great people involved. I've loved Daniel Craig ever since I saw him in the first James Bond movie he's made. Harrison Ford is just awesome. Han Solo and Indiana Jones??? Please. Olivia Wilde was good in Tron: Legacy and she was good in this, too. And Jon Favreau is a great director. I had high hopes for this film and the movie, by far, surpassed it. I enjoyed every minute of the movie and I wished it would have been longer. Jake Lonergan (Craig) wakes up in the middle of the desert and he doesn't remember who he is, why he's out in the middle of the desert, or why he has a strange bracelet like thing on his wrist. When he's brought into town, the sheriff (Keith Carridine) realizes that he's a wanted man and places him and a kid named Percy (Paul Dano) in a wagon to be transported to prison. But Percy's wealthy father, Woodrow Dolarhyde (Ford), shows up before they can leave and wants him released. Before they can do anything about it, giant glowing ships show up and attack the town, kidnapping a lot of people in the process. After the attack, the remaining townsfolk, including Jake, Dolarhyde, the town doctor and bar owner (Sam Rockwell), and a mysterious woman named Ella Swenson (Wilde), set off to find the missing people.
