Cowboys & Aliens Synopsis
Premise
In 1873 Arizona, a loner named Jake Lonergan (Daniel Craig) awakens with no memory of his past and a mysterious shackle around his wrist. He enters the town of Absolution where he learns he committed many crimes he doesn't remember and is wanted by many people, including Colonel Woodrow Dolarhyde (Harrison Ford), a harsh leader who rules the town with an iron fist. But Absolution soon faces an even greater threat when mysterious forces attack the town from the sky, sparing no one in their path. While Jake's shackle holds the key to defeating them, he must align himself with Dolarhyde and other former enemies to make a stand against this mysterious and more powerful new foe.

With big names like Ford and Craig on the billing and popularity of that of its comic book predecessor, Can Cowboys & Aliens be a blockbuster hit or will it be as preposterous of mixing aliens and the old west? Tell us what you think in the comments section below:
