Audiences were confused by the film’s steampunk-y Western setting and the odd pairing of perennial summer juggernaut Will Smith (fresh off of Men in Black and Independence Day) and Academy Award-winner Kevin Kline. In what is essentially a buddy cop film set in the Double Wild West, Smith and Kline chase after wheelchair-bound mad scientist Dr. Arliss Loveless (Kenneth Branagh), to stop him from destroying the United States with an army of robots. Smith has publicly apologized for the film, which he acknowledges as a slap in the face to the 1960s television show on which it was based. All told, it made approximately $50 million.
