Wild Wild West: Evil Devices

In the post-Civil War American West, a mismatched pair of secret agents, the suave James West and the eccentric Artemus Gordon, are tasked by President Ulysses S. Grant to stop the villainous Dr. Arliss Loveless. Loveless, a disgruntled inventor, plans to use his giant mechanical spider to overthrow the United States. The agents must overcome their differences and a series of ingenious, anachronistic gadgets to thwart Loveless's diabolical scheme.

Audiences also found the movie to be a letdown, contributing to its poor box office performance.
