One Ranger is a 2023 American action thriller film written and directed by Jesse V. Johnson and starring Thomas Jane and John Malkovich.

Plot

Texas Ranger Alex Tyree (Thomas Jane) tracks Declan McBride (Dean Jagger), a bank robber, across the desert — only to discover he's an international terrorist set on detonating a bomb in the heart of London. When the lawman's partner is killed, he is drawn into partnership with British intelligence agent Jennifer Smith (Dominique Tipper) and her boss Geddes (John Malkovich) to bring the outlaw to justice — dead or alive.[2]

Reception
