THE LONE RANGER ON THE WB
The WB will present a special two-hour movie presentation of The Lone Ranger starring Chad Michael Murray on Wednesday, Feb. 26 at 8 p.m. This version takes a look at the character in the years before he became a legend.
Set in the 19th century, the saga begins with the introduction of Luke Hartman (Murray), a 20-year old Boston law student whose life is turned upside down when he is wounded in an ambush after witnessing the murder of his brother, a Texas Ranger.
Rescued by an Apache named Tonto (Nathaniel Arcand), Luke is instantly captivated by Tonto's beautiful sister Alope (Anita Brown). Luke assumes the guise of a mysterious masked champion to avenge his brother's death and fight the scourge of injustice.
Murray appeared on "Gilmore Girls" as Tristin, Rory's overconfident classmate who caused a rift between her and her boyfriend Dean. He then appeared on Dawson's Creek as Charlie, an arrogant musician who dated Jen but eventually fell in love with Joey. Murray will next be seen in the feature film Freaky Friday in August.
From executive producers Stacy Title, Jonathan Penner, Susanne Daniels, Kate Juergens and Eric Ellenbogen, The Lone Ranger is produced by Primarily Entertainment in association with Turner Television.
