A high-energy, visually inventive steampunk-Western comedy-adventure that prioritizes spectacle, buddy-movie chemistry, and irreverent humor over coherence or depth.

Legless Southern inventor Dr. Arliss Loveless plans to rekindle the Civil War by assassinating President Ulysses S. Grant. Only two men can stop him: gunfighter James West and master-of-disguise and inventor Artemus Gordon. The two must team up to thwart Loveless' plans.
