When Rango, a lost family pet, accidentally winds up in the gritty, gun-slinging Western town of Dirt, the theater-loving lizard suddenly finds himself the newly appointed sheriff. Welcomed as the last hope the town has been waiting for, Rango is forced to play his new role to the hilt and uncover the truth behind a looming water crisis—before his act catches up with him.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Industrial Light & Magic's first fully animated film—Pixar didn't touch it, which explains the unhinged energy.
The 'Man With No Name' cameo means Rango exists in the same universe as Sergio Leone's Dollars Trilogy. Let that sink in.
