Jonah Hex Plot Summary
What happens in Jonah Hex from start to finish, spoilers included, with a timeline of 13 key events. The opening is below; the full summary is a 2-minute read.
Spoilers ahead
During the tumultuous period of the American Civil War, Jonah Hex, played by Josh Brolin, fought valiantly for the Confederacy. However, his loyalty was tested when he betrayed his commanding officer, Quentin Turnbull, portrayed by John Malkovich, to save a hospital and inadvertently caused the death of Turnbull’s son. This act of treachery led to a gruesome revenge plot by Turnbull and his ruthless associate, Burke (Michael Fassbender), who torched Jonah’s home with his family trapped inside, branding Jonah’s face with the initials QT. In a desperate attempt to regain his looks, he later used a red-hot tomahawk to carve away at his disfigurement.
