About Tonto
Most film heroes have a trusty sidekick, the Lone Ranger has Tonto by his side. In the Disney adaptation of The Lone Ranger, we learn when Tonto was a young Comanche boy, his entire village was murdered. Another boy came across Tonto’s path and took care of him until he was well enough to care for himself. Years later, Tonto came across a man who was left to die along with five Rangers that were brutally killed. Tonto soon realized the man that survived was the same young boy that saved him years prior.
Tonto stood by this man until he recovered to full health. To throw off the men who attempted to kill John Reid, the Lone Ranger, Tonto dug six holes to make them believe he died along with the others. Tonto and the Lone Ranger’s reconnection made them realize they were meant to be a part of each other’s lives. They quickly became partners in their conquests in bringing justice to the Old West Frontier.
