Cowboys & Aliens. Based on Scott Mitchell Rosenbergs comic-book Roberto Orci, Alex Kurtzman, Damon Lindelof, Mark Fergus and Hawk Ostby all share script credit for the film. By the last act, the entire thing feels crafted from a science-fiction for dummies book. That said, before it all falls apart, the populist Iron Man director attempts to create an authentic western tone and almost nails it.

Daniel Craig plays Jake Lonergan, a cowboy who wakes up in 1875 New Mexico with no recollection of his past. As he enters the town of Absolution he encounters the town bully played by Paul Dano, whose dad is Colonel Dolarhyde Harrison Ford. The two get in some trouble and are sent to a bigger prison in Sante Fe. That is, until the aliens come and attack.
