Cowboys & Aliens

Daniel Craig is the rugged gunslinger with an extra-terrestrial secret and Harrison Ford the ruthless cattle baron who's his worst nightmare

Daniel Craig is the rugged gunslinger with an extra-terrestrial secret and Harrison Ford the ruthless cattle baron who's his worst nightmare.

This outlandish Western/sci-fi mash-up does exactly what it says on the tin – pits cowboys against aliens for the weirdest frontier showdown you've ever seen.

The concept is so wild, it's a shame the film doesn't make more of it - all the inter-species shoot-outs getting rather predictable - but given that the story was inspired by the cover art of a graphic novel, not its contents, it's not all that surprising the plot doesn't really hang together.

Still, Craig looks the part and you'll probably have a blast watching James Bond and Indiana Jones strapping on six-shooters to take on hordes of ornery varmints from outer space.
