Meet the Cast of Cowboys & Aliens

First Contact. Last Stand.

In the thrilling sci-fi western "Cowboys & Aliens," audiences are introduced to a mysterious drifter named Jake Lonergan, portrayed by the charismatic Daniel Craig. Jake arrives in the rough desert town of Absolution, his mind a blank slate devoid of memories, and an enigmatic futuristic shackle firmly affixed to his wrist. This sense of disorientation is heightened by the hostile environment surrounding him, as the town is ruled by the iron-fisted Colonel Woodrow Dolarhyde, played with gravitas by Harrison Ford. As Jake navigates the treacherous landscape of Absolution, he must confront not only the secrets of his own past but also the daunting challenges presented by the lawless folks that inhabit the town.

Complicating matters further, Jake crosses paths with Ella, a captivating woman whose mysterious motives seem to intertwine with his own quest for redemption. As the plot unfolds, it becomes clear that Ella possesses knowledge about Jake's true identity and the origins of his shackles, which serve as a crucial clue to understanding the larger conflict at play. Together, they forge an unlikely alliance that signals hope amid chaos. As tensions rise within Absolution, the townspeople discover that their troubles are far from ordinary. A series of otherworldly attacks descend upon them, revealing a formidable enemy that has arrived from beyond the stars.

In a gripping turn of events, Jake finds himself thrust into the role of an unlikely leader, rallying an eclectic band of characters that includes rugged cowboys, notorious outlaws, and fierce Apache warriors. This diverse posse must put aside their differences to confront a common adversary: a powerful alien force intent on wreaking havoc on their town. The film culminates in an epic showdown, where survival hangs in the balance. "Cowboys & Aliens" masterfully blends the classic elements of a western with thrilling sci-fi action, challenging the characters to rise up against a formidable enemy and ultimately discover what it means to fight for their home. Through action-packed sequences and rich character development, the film invites audiences on a wild ride through history and imagination.
