Plot
Plot
A meteorite crashes into a sand dune near the home of Beans, Rango's desert iguana girlfriend. The impact of the explosion scatters fragments everywhere. Beans's father walks up the hill and examines the crater, but he is taken in a flash of green light. 15 years later, Rango, the chameleon from the film, enters the scene, asleep on his roadrunner, "Excelsior". He wakes up and makes his way into the Gas Can Saloon. Just then, Slim walks in with parts of a meteor, and Rango opens it, vaporizing Slim. Explaining the plotline of how he first saw the rocks, he says that Bad Bill was involved. He teamed up with the Jenkins cousins in an unnatural alliance. Rango tracks down Bill at the barber shop, their hideout. Rango blows up the barbershop, and Bill escapes, but not before Rango gets one of the rocks. As Rango continues the story, Bill tries to hijack the water train. Rango catches up with him, and he attempts to follow him. The henchmen even sabotaged some parts of the train; the back train up to the coal cart burned down after the dynamite was burned. Rango finds Bill and gets the next rock, but the train explodes, and Rango escapes on Excelsior. Rango catches up with Bill, and Beans accompanies him into the Forbidden Mine at the foot of the majestic cliffs of Dry Creek. After making it into Area 102 and finding Bill there, he escapes into Andromeda 5 and hides near a machine gun. After trying to shoot Rango, failing in the process, Rango blows up the hideout, retrieving the 3rd rock. Rango tells everyone that the rocks are meteorite fragments. As Buford cooks up "Zucchini muffins", Rango resumes his story. Hiding out in an RV, where a man takes vengeance on aliens, Rango defeats the bad guys and gets the fourth rock. Rango gets knocked out at Dirt, and Beans is kidnapped. Thrown in jail, Rango escapes and blows up Bill's stagecoach, which keeps Beans freeing her and collects the 5th rock. Beans enters, and Rango tells the others how, outside the cantina, Rattlesnake Jake returned for revenge. A showdown begins, and Rango defeat Jake as the 6th rock comes out of his mouth. Then, Rango enters Mr. Black's laboratory and destroys it with his genetic, "morally incorrect" experiments. He goes out to stop the Zombies he made, but it is too late. They set fire to Dirt and escape, but Rango defeats them all and pursues Bill. Distracted, Bill gets hit by a car's windshield while Rango gets another rock. Rango continues his story of falling into a 3d graphics world and escaping on his windup fish toy, Mr. Timms, getting another rock. He falls off and is knocked unconscious. Hallucinating, he is picked up by Excelsior. Beans had a key around her neck, revealing it to be a safe deposit box key. It's also revealed that Beans' father scattered the rocks. Taking the last one, they forge into alien technology, zapping the citizens. Mr. Black tells them to get on the clock tower, which is a rocket. Going to a shuttle near Mars, Rango, Mr. Black, and Beans destroy the aliens. Beans reunites with her father, and Rango is a hero once again.
