Andy Serkis Pictures: Andy Serkis arrives on the red carpet at the "Cowboys & Aliens" movie premiere held during Comic-Con 2011 at the San Diego Civic Theatre on July 23, 2011 in San Diego, California.
1873. Arizona Territory. A stranger 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. It's a town that lives in fear.
