Though it seems like a new concept because it hasn't been done in a while, mixing Sci-Fi and Western genres in films dates back to the 1950s. In Cowboys and Aliens (2011), the idea gets a fresh revitalization with all the technological advances of modern film being put to use by director Jon Favreau. Overall, it's a solid story with great characters and a strong cast, including Daniel Craig and Harrison Ford.
Daniel Craig plays an outlaw who wakes up in the desert with amnesia and a strange contraption on his wrist...
