Rango

A pet chameleon falls out of his owner's vehicle, leaving him stranded in the vast Mojave Desert. This marks the beginning of his journey to find water and survive in an unfriendly environment.

In the desert, the chameleon encounters an armadillo named Roadkill. Roadkill, in search of the Spirit of the West, directs the chameleon towards the town of Dirt for water.

The chameleon narrowly avoids capture by a threatening red-tailed hawk, showcasing the dangers of the desert. This harrowing experience adds urgency to his quest for survival.

The chameleon reaches the Old West town of Dirt, where he meets Beans, the rancher's daughter. She introduces him to the community of diverse desert animals.

To fit in with the locals, the chameleon adopts the persona of Rango, a hardened drifter. This transformation helps him navigate through the challenges he will face in Dirt.

Rango's new identity quickly lands him in trouble with the notorious outlaw Gila monster, Bad Bill. A confrontation ensues, but Bill is scared off by the hawk, establishing Rango's unexpected heroism.

Following the chaotic encounter, the townsfolk, eager for a hero, elect Rango as their new sheriff. This new role brings both responsibilities and challenges for Rango in the chaotic town.

Rango learns that Dirt's water reserves are dangerously low, intensifying the urgency of his duties. Skeptical Beans insists he investigate the issue further, pushing Rango into detective work.

That night, Rango mistakenly aids a gang of bank robbers, mistaking them for prospectors. This error leads to the townspeople discovering their water supply has been stolen.

With the water stolen, Rango organizes a posse to retrieve it, leading them to the dead bank manager and an empty water bottle. The pursuit reveals the complex scheme behind the water's disappearance.

Rango confronts the mayor, who deceptively denies any wrongdoing regarding the water crisis. The mayor's true intentions and manipulative tactics become increasingly evident.

Rango encounters the Spirit of the West, a mysterious figure who imparts wisdom. This meeting inspires Rango to embrace his story and take action against the town's injustices.

Rango recruits the robbers to create a diversion for a water rescue mission. He challenges Rattlesnake Jake to a duel to save the town and reclaim the stolen water.

The mayor takes Beans hostage to manipulate Rango into surrendering. Their showdown escalates, forcing Rango into a desperate fight for survival and the town's future.

Rango breaks free from the vault, unleashing a flood that saves the town. The citizens of Dirt celebrate their hero, Rango, as the water supply is restored, symbolizing hope and renewal.
