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.
哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈玛丽苏脑洞现实化，至少找了两个俊男美女演，性张力也不错
一星给帅哥美女的颜，一星给这中小学生才能想出的梦女剧情，有点儿甜，但不多，因为这流星花园继承者们拯救纨绔子弟的剧情实在是太！老！套！啦！嗐，真的很无脑，但本土狗还是看完了😅
能用帅哥美女做演员，很好！
剧情中规中矩，镜头真是晃到头晕。爆炸贝的电影，警察的AI估计和游戏NPC差不多，撞毁的那些车就能造成多少伤亡了，还在乎一个人质。
Tired for this sh!t...
救命啊，真得又土又尬，推荐晋江优秀小说给网飞改编。
不知所云 看不下去 虽然演员颜值很高 而且有、🥵 但是还是看不下去
6.1分。我觉得还行啊，起码比美弟的校园片好看。男主是真帅，女主太矮了点，不过脸还是很漂亮的。西班牙校园爱情，看着挺舒服的。
给大家排雷了，喜欢看追车类爆米花电影的推荐看，属于没啥深度看完就忘的类型。
剧情有很多逻辑漏洞，经不起推敲，不过，特效和情绪煽动很到位。可以看看
我承认 我就是土 我就是乐意看帅哥美女谈恋爱再带点儿小狗血 咋滴吧！！
不知道在演什么，但是粉毛小哥很不错哎。女主上半身都这么瘦了，下半身还这么胖，我们梨形身材真的好痛苦😖
男女主都挺渣的呵呵
1🌟给男主颜值1🌟给女主颜值1🌟给不带脑子看的我
拍涩涩的青春爱情片就算了，还夹杂一出土味继承者的剧情，有钱人的格局太小了，咱就是说村首富也不至于这样，古早玛丽苏剧情，无聊时可撸。
又臭又长，毫无逻辑，无脑洗白，三观不正……卖拷贝彻底放飞自我，一味追求新科技的视觉特效结果故事讲的细碎，最关键的是特效也不怎么样，毫无意义的手持晃的人晕
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻在这个五一无意点开 无意看完🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻都是我的错...
男主长这样，还要什么自行车。身材真好，值三星。才反应过来化妆舞会男生扮希腊之神，女生扮女巫，都是彼此互称的外号，还有点子浪漫
老套情节
值得一提的是，本片无IMAX镜头、最高摄制分辨率(8K)亦低于IMAX标准(11K)，且穿越机限制了机载镜头的发挥，这些将在IMAX银幕上得到体现。
