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.
比我想象中好看诶，还有一些科普历史的内容
喜欢独眼巨人
健身时看着玩的，不用动脑筋，两位主角都是我喜欢的
博博监制 除了结尾之外都好当然跟act1有关
基本照着漫画分镜拍，好在不失原作气质，选角得也很棒。
女主那件亮片连体衣真是，巨闪～
7.0不能在多了 不喜欢他哥和那只鸟的…嗯，还有小岛转移，炸弹也在小岛上啊，转移了也没用啊，不科学
萌是萌的，情节也还行，3岁半的娃，光吃爆米花了
冒险不刺激，喜剧不好笑，浪漫很过时。只有皮特那段营救戏勉强算还不错。
陪Daniel看的第一部电影，却是他看的第二部电影🥲// 让一个夜猫子抱着一个酸臭的小男生看早场电影，真是太为难我了。// 剧情还行，小朋友挺喜欢，穿梭时空花带回纪念品有点意思，就像“随手捎点小玩意儿”的旅行蛙。// 最后，为啥萌萌的就要当宠物😕 生殖隔离也是不合理的😒 // 看完大耳朵图图霸王龙在行动之后，回头来加一星。
很好看啊 一个动画片你想有什么内涵？？？？
海边的青春，集风，音乐真好听，颓。最悲伤的故事是忘记了今天发生的一切，跟一个还不错的男生仿佛第一次接吻般的开始恋爱。
不知道为啥明显瞄准中国市场的却都是甜甜圈，而且，两个主角的性格也是莫名其妙，很难讨喜中国市场，整个都很奇怪
中配真的挺加分的，要给中国的小孩子看，某种意义上来说中配就是必须的，而且我觉得完成得不错
带毛的甜甜圈还有点可爱，我果然还是喜欢不来泰迪贵宾。。。
整部影片各项功能元素基本合格，但是就很难形容看到这种定制版动画的心情，中国元素在里面很重却又没有驱动性的作用，换个别的国家好像也能成立。适合带娃观赏。最好的一点是是2D的！为此可以多加0.5星～
金发的皮特，真是最大的惊喜且搞笑。
需要多一个电影genre类别，叫netflix
好吧 哪儿找来这么多丑白男啊 但是桑爪我真的好可呜呜呜妈咪，还是不够搞笑
国内外的青春电影都一个德性么？风格阴郁冰冷，揉杂性,暴力,家庭的隐秘,几角关系等等，最后还要来个死亡和入狱才算完整？只差女主怀孕堕胎了。怪不得叫青春疼痛电影，一般人的青春貌似没这么大胆初二初三就脚炮友了，有些台词如对白中所说，够中二。女主的头永远抬不起来我也是不太理解，可能我终究是活成了一个平凡乏味的中年人了吧
