Synopsis

Jonah Hex (Josh Brolin) is a scarred drifter and bounty hunter of last resort, a tough and stoic gunslinger who can track down anyone...and anything. Having survived death, Jonah's violent history is steeped in myth and legend, and has left him with one foot in the natural world and one on the "other side." His only human connection is with Lila (Megan Fox), whose life in a brothel has left her with scars of her own.

Jonah's past is about to catch up with him when the U.S. military makes him an offer he can't refuse: in exchange for his freedom from the warrants on his head, he must track down and stop the dangerous terrorist Quentin Turnbull (John Malkovich). But Turnbull, who is gathering an army and preparing to unleash Hell, is also Jonah's oldest enemy and will stop at nothing until Jonah is dead.

Based on the legendary character from the graphic novels, "Jonah Hex" is an epic adventure thriller about one man's personal quest for redemption against the vast canvas of the battle between good and evil.

The film stars Academy Award® nominee Josh Brolin ("Milk," "No Country For Old Men"), two-time Academy Award® nominee John Malkovich ("In the Line of Fire," "Places in the Heart"), Megan Fox ("Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen"), Michael Fassbender ("Inglourious Basterds"), Will Arnett ("Blades of Glory") and Academy Award® nominee Michael Shannon ("Revolutionary Road.").

Warner Bros. Pictures presents in association with Legendary Pictures a Mad Chance/Weed Road Production, "Jonah Hex." Jimmy Hayward directed the film, marking his live-action directorial debut.

Thomas Tull, Jon Jashni, William Fay, Matt LeBlanc, John Goldstone and Ravi Mehta served as executive producers, with Richard Middleton, Miri Yoon and Margot Lulick co-producing.

The behind-the-scenes team is led by director of photography Mitchell Amundsen ("Transformers"), production designer Tom Meyer ("Orphan"), editors Fernando Villena ("Gamer") and Tom Lewis ("Old Dogs") and costume designer Michael Wilkinson ("Watchmen").
