While surveying a telegraph line in 1861, Western Union engineer Edward Creighton (Dean Jagger) is severely injured in an accident. He is discovered by Vance Shaw (Randolph Scott), an outlaw on the run from a posse. Forced to travel on foot after his horse was hurt, Shaw at first considers stealing Creighton's horse, but changes his mind and takes the man with him, saving his life.
Sometime later, following his recovery, Creighton returns to Omaha, Nebraska and plans the construction of a telegraph line from Omaha to Salt Lake City, Utah. Facing considerable opposition to the line from Confederate soldiers, Indians, and outlaws, Creighton elicits the help of his sister Sue (Virginia Gilmore), foreman Pat Grogan (Minor Watson), and assistant Homer Kettle (Chill Wills).
Looking to put his outlaw past behind him, Shaw arrives at Creighton's Western Union office looking for honest work and is hired as a scout by Grogan who is unaware of his past. Creighton recognizes him among the men and allows him to stay despite his suspicions. Creighton also hires tenderfoot Richard Blake (Robert Young), a Harvard-educated engineer as a favor to Blake's father. Shaw and Blake are both attracted to Sue and vie for her attention, but their romantic rivalry is cut short when construction of the telegraph line starts on July 4, 1861.
After work commences on the line, one of the men is killed apparently by a mysterious band of cattle-rustling Indians. Unconvinced that Indians are to blame, Shaw rides out to investigate and follows the rustlers' trail to the camp of Jack Slade, a former friend and cohort, whose gang committed the killing disguised as Indians—the gang Shaw left following his last bank robbery. Slade reveals that they are working for the Confederacy to disrupt Western Union because they believe the telegraph service will help the Union. Shaw rides away and returns to the line. Not wanting to turn in his former friends, Shaw tells Creighton that a large band of Dakota Indians stole the cattle, and recommends that they simply replace the herd and not risk a fight with the Indians.
Sometime later, a confrontation takes place between men working on the forward line and a band of drunken Indians. When one of the Indians tries to steal some equipment, a nervous Blake shoots him, ignoring Shaw's order to remain calm. After word arrives that the main camp is under attack by other Indians, the Western Union men rush back to help with the defense. At the main camp, Slade's men, who are again disguised as Indians, steal the Western Union horses. The company discover the ruse when one of the wounded Indians turns out to be a white man. Forced to buy back their stolen horses from Slade, Creighton becomes suspicious of Shaw's involvement, especially when he admits to knowing the gang.
Soon the U.S. Army arrives and announces the Indians have now refused to allow the telegraph lines to go through their territory in response to Blake's shooting of the drunken Indian. Creighton, Shaw, and Blake ride out to convince Chief Spotted Horse to allow them to build the line through Indian territory, even though the man Blake wounded was Spotted Horse's son. Creighton is finally able to persuade the Indians to allow them passage, and work continues until the company approaches Salt Lake City.
Sometime later, Shaw receives word that Jack Slade wants to meet with him. On the way to see Slade, Shaw is captured and bound by Slade's men. Slade says his group is going to burn down the Western Union camp and they don't want Shaw to interfere. After Slade and his men ride off, Shaw escapes from his ropes but arrives back too late to prevent the fire. He helps rescue some of the Western Union men from the flames and burns his hands in the process.
After the fire, Creighton confronts Shaw for an explanation, but Shaw does not reveal what he knows and is fired by Creighton. As Shaw leaves the camp, he tells Blake that Slade is actually Shaw's brother and that he, Shaw, will find Slade's gang and stop them from interfering with the telegraph project. Shaw rides off and finds Slade and his men in a nearby town. At the barber shop, Shaw confronts his brother, whose gun is concealed under the barber's sheet. Slade shoots Shaw through the sheet. Shaw fights back in spite of his wound, killing some of the gang members, and then dies. Blake arrives and continues the fight with Slade who dies from his wounds. Soon after, the Western Union line is completed and the workers celebrate. When Sue laments the absence of Shaw, Creighton tells her that Shaw can hear them.
还是要给五星，从16年刚开始“学英语”到现在也已经过去六年，big house人来人往，婚礼与葬礼同一天举行，新生与故去往复交替，就当它是时光怜爱下不经意留下的童话，当你刻意偏头看它一眼，就如撇去浮沫般悄然离开。
没看剧集直接看的电影版，一口气看了两部，感觉很惊艳。这么多人物在短短的2小时当中，即使不熟悉背景，也慢慢看出了端倪。人物和背景、服装一样美妙，似乎人人都很美好
唐顿庄园系列还可以再拍，但再也不是原版的“唐顿庄园”。
又回到俺滴英格兰唐顿老家，每个人都看着好亲切。老夫人和Thomas，这整个系列塑造得最成功的两个角色，是新时代却也是一个时代的终结。老夫人的金句直到最后一刻也在带来智慧。Thomas这个一开始令人恨到发抖，最后看到他却有了家人般的安心感，却因为不可言说的原因被剥夺了结局和一个配得上他的告别，我真的会恨！以及马修古迪这个只会开车不着家的渣男，却要大小姐拒绝hugh dancy这种帅哥，暴殄天物啊！真的太喜欢hugh的声音了！还好harry戏份不少让我心生欢喜！唐顿对我来说真的是像梦中的精神家园一样的存在，虽然剧情线也不得不顺应时代，让庄园的生活面对各种新时代的冲击和挑战，可是真的希望时间停止，再梦久一点，真的会怕进入二战时期的唐顿呜呜呜
从第一季追过来的人怎么可能不喜欢这部唐家屯儿呢，满满的情怀。M&M，逝去的CP突然攻击我！
全片唯一高潮似乎就是桑德海姆的“到场“，音乐剧电影拍成剧情和歌曲完全不相融，精心设计出的歌词与画面的“同步”无法带来任何情感上的共鸣。不触及90年代真实的政治氛围、不展现舞台艺术在LGBT文化运动中的先锋性质，就永远无法正确地驱魔，没有记忆何来克服，只有浮于表面的致敬。
看这个之前看了十五分钟的我要我们在一起，太尬了
婚礼开头葬礼结尾，真希望唐顿永远不要end
大型宫廷剧，大制作，很戏剧...相当成功吧...群戏基本都很成功，面面俱到。所有细节工作都做得尽善尽美的。 服饰，场景，背景音乐都美轮美奂的。贵族大家族的各自事情，好比《红楼梦》，又隐射英国皇室家庭。小小唐顿国，代代延续下去吧。 4.5星
每个人大概都有了圆满的归宿，平淡、优雅、浪漫，温柔却坚定着。唐顿在每一次时代的变迁中重生。
[Stop that noise. I can't hear myself die.]
看前三分之二的时候想，如果收尾不够精彩就是轻松愉快的四星片了。然后，就看到朱利安式的完美结局：时代的更替，表现在有声电影的进场，上世纪财产的归属变更，阶级在胶片造梦机中的模糊，往事的处置和摊牌，以及，肉身的更迭……
感觉演员们都老了，旧的人离去，新生命降临，有声电影必然淘汰掉默片，新时代的来临，每个人都找到了幸福的归属
为了去电影院看电影从一堆垃圾中选出来去看的，原谅粗鄙无知的我没有一点触动，电影里的冠冕堂皇和扭捏作态简直要让我窒息了
我最爱的老夫人！！！！！！！作为唐顿新一代掌舵人的大小姐真的和老夫人很像。父母爱情好好磕，二小姐工作的样子真好看，巴罗也好可爱，这个大家庭里的每一个人都很生动。看剧版最后一季和上一部电影版的时候觉得剧情已经很疲软了，没想到这一部还是给了我很大的惊喜。
唐顿好美。台词一贯的优雅。老太太去世的场景大概是一个人离世时最完美的状态了。
还是要给五星，从16年刚开始“学英语”到现在也已经过去六年，big house人来人往，婚礼与葬礼同一天举行，新生与故去往复交替，就当它是时光怜爱下不经意留下的童话，当你刻意偏头看它一眼，就如撇去浮沫般悄然离开。
自我感动罢了。精准的剪辑和抓人的旋律很容易就渲染出情绪，也很容易暴露出剧作的空洞。优秀传记片不同于粉丝电影之处就在于人物的立体和表达的独立。而本片在这两者上的绝对短板让其注定只能是粉丝电影。本片其实在中途抛出了几个非常有价值的议题以及随之带出的矛盾：艺术家将正在进行中的亲密关系作为创作素材是否有悖于伦理，以及艺术家人格固有傲慢的消极一面。但是这两组矛盾全都在最后伴随着主角早已被观众所知的成功莫名其妙地消失了。所有的精湛技术只是为了讲一个1.0的鸡汤奋斗故事，再动人的旋律也会变得无聊和虚假。就传记片而言，本片导演离拍出《登月第一人》的查泽雷差着十万八千里。
最后，男男CP（管家和男演员）给我惊喜！给我好好在一起！！！哦对，配色也很好看，经常是橙蓝，饱和度也高
修改：看过删减部分后决定给满分，原作交代的很清楚了，也表达了大家对各种群体的尊重与祝福，删减能不能414啊
