1873. Arizona Territory. A stranger (Craig) with no memory of his past stumbles into the hard desert town of Absolution. The only hint to his history is a mysterious shackle that encircles one wrist. What he discovers is that the people of Absolution don't welcome strangers, and nobody makes a move on its streets unless ordered to do so by the iron-fisted Colonel Dolarhyde (Ford). It's a town that lives in fear.

A stranger (Craig) with no memory of his past

but he does know how to fight,kill efficiently and use futuristic gadgets, which is all learned behavior, kinda convenient. eh?

The only hint to his history is a mysterious shackle that encircles one wrist.

a multi-purpose weapon able to bring down a whole spaceship with a single shot? its also likely self-rechargeable...what a joke
the aliens just happen to pass nearby and stay visible even though they have cloaking, furthermore they start randomly shooting even though they should have advanced scanning & targeting abilities

nobody makes a move on its streets unless ordered to do so by the iron-fisted Colonel Dolarhyde

sounds like uncle sam of usa fame, though this one still needs to shout-a-lot & threaten to get things done his way

cowboys and aliens? shouldn't it be cowboys vs. aliens, and btw a really innovative movie name

It's a town that lives in fear.

undoubtedly waiting for its (super)hero, kinda like the usa today, eh?

I was somewhat amazed that when the cowboy shot down the alien spaceship ( don't even know why there's an alien ship to begin with ???????), the alien ship with it's advanced technology doesn't go and make an atomic/nuclear 'ka-bloom!!" after it hits the ground.
It must be run on diesel I guess.

I kind of like the first trailer better!

This film is super far-fetched, if you ask me.
So there's this guy on horseback and he rides besides the alien cruiser and jumps on it while not falling off even though the spaceship, with the aliens advanced tech in speed, maneuvering capabilities, advanced construction, etc...etc...is going at what??....hyper velocity perhaps.
And where did the guy get the arm-wrist-band-gun thingy??
The only thing that's probably worth seeing in this flick is the hot chick.

An extended sneak peak that aired during the Spike Guys Choice Awards!

Olivia Wilde naked...You don't need to know anything else...

I still think this flick has a ridiculous story line.
Cowboys lassoing space-ships flying at 1000 km/hr or so. Ya, right.
Shooting at space-ships with hand-guns. .....Cmon.

Maybe these aliens came to town looking for ET.
