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.
对话尴尬，演员都很棒，如果当成游戏cg能拿9分
非原作粉会不会觉得结尾（彩蛋）与前作过于紧密，不知所谓？原作粉会不会觉得前半过于缓慢，迟迟不进入正题？比起充满想象力的巨型棉花糖（作为明星萌物，小号回归了一下），“现代”鬼的CG精妙了很多，但起源无趣，最终仅服务于（非原作粉不能理解的）煽情。小演员很好，表现得都很可爱，相对的过于弱化了大人的作用。
发现一只小萝莉 011#2022年看208部电影
小逼孩这个gunner座位有点酷炫册那! Paul Rudd怎么不老2333后半部分开始热起来了，尤其是监狱里那句who you gonna call lol 用情怀来拍的致敬续集
又是情怀片！难得第一部大部分主角聚齐，看见大家都这么老了，好感伤，一晃眼几十年又过去了！Mckenna Grace好酷、原来越有味道了！
得益于摄影师的无情铁手何体力，这所谓一镜到底代入感太强，一直为阿金斯捏一把汗。打斗没有一人在前几人围观的那种被吐槽一个一个送人头，加上综合格斗的一些动作安排，觉得Seal真是训练有素，真是有一颗大心脏。另一个人York也让人印象深刻。爽片！
(如果用《露西亚的情人》片尾画外音来看，某种意义上来说可以玄幻的接上《超能敢死队》片头了。)
很漂亮的重启，但是没想到贾森·雷特曼也沦陷了
比Kristen Wiig那版好不了多少，这帮孩子角色无聊得很。Carrie Coon大材小用
全程1.5X。鬼扯。1080P 22/01/06
在电影院看的。剧情太无聊了，睡了一个小时。建议还是多在剧情上下功夫吧，CG不是万灵丹，不可能解决所有的问题。
战争很残酷 极端分子很恐怖 每个人都惦记家人 最后要看点喜剧放松下
小朋友看挺好的，小女孩做主角越来越多，好！
其实这个本子程度大概就是SW7的水平吧，本人情怀粉觉得蛮满足的，老四人组出来的时候有被狠狠赚一波【以及彩蛋看得鼻子酸酸的全世界最好的Winston TAT【md死的是Egon真的超好猜【呜呜呜呜呜RIP老爷子。以及stranger things之后suburb town+teens打怪就是模版了，这么NYC的故事还得生拉去大乡下翻新，无法得小朋友也从幼儿版升级到了恋爱中班（同时变成了小废物23333）妹妹美死carry全场！gatekeeper和keymaster这种phillac symbol靠泡撸一己之力变成了喜剧我dig。除了无聊套路点算合格reboot吧
挺值得一看的爽片！
很可爱，居然还有点感人。棉花糖小人太可爱了！！！比2016年那一部好太多了吧！！！本来是为了看麦肯娜才看的，结果，居然享受了无数她讲的弱智笑话，这部电影太棒了！！！妈妈胸肌瞩目。
把去世的老队员在银幕里复活了，还和一帮老伙计并肩作战，北美的影迷一定会泪崩吧，这也是本片的最大惊喜了，这可是北美的情怀之一啊。不是很喜欢新生代的部分，写得太无聊了，但是演员都还挺顺眼的。情怀很满的作品，需要精熟原作才会找到乐趣，比如彩蛋就是致敬第一部的开场戏，但是主线故事还是不够精彩。
这部新拍的捉鬼敢死队前半段也太太太无聊了，一点跌宕都没有。后面致敬老版倒是挺意外，电影院里有很多老粉疯狂鼓掌。毕竟之前预告片里都一点展示都没有，倒是个惊喜。
可爱但不幼稚，是情怀之作却又非常完整，小幽默层出不穷，不觉得像《怪奇物语》，人物设置和情节设置上更像是《怪诞小镇》，而Paul Rudd果然还是演蠢蛋比较有趣。
感觉看了一集低配版Stranger Things（我不是贬低演员，我甚至觉得Finn Wolfhard越来越超模气质了，单纯就制作本身而言）
