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.
不是国人设计的武打动作确实差点意思
剧情太扯了看她砍男的跟砍瓜切菜似的就很分裂——有点运动经验的都知道不可能嘛，但是为了她宁折不弯也没有利用自己性别特点一路杀到最后给三星
大女主爽片，曾经公主被困于高塔等待王子救援，现在公主一路杀下塔楼自己称王
快餐网大，好多动作戏就是明显不想花时间去设计拍一条就过的
从头追到尾打到尾，公主的体力和战斗力真是超人级别啊！🤣小女主有几分超杀女当年的模样，多给0.5分吧。
Joey King做女打还是力量感不足，这部的动作指导和剪辑堪称一流，跟天马行空团队可以交流一下。
没什么亮点，到了后面感觉编剧是喝高了，各种随意和天马行空各。整个故事就剩下个编了。唯一的亮点李光洙。
迪士尼的公主系列新作，不过这个公主和之前娇滴滴的公主们不同，是个武力值爆表的公主。迪士尼的出身就意味着这是个真人童话故事，没必要太当真。图个乐呵就好了嘛。
搜索李光洙无意看到的电影，所以明星效益还是很厉害的，是个热热闹闹看神仙打架的剧。男俊女美，光洙负责搞笑。
中世纪女版《突袭》，封闭空间单人闯关游戏，只可惜投资上去了，但动作戏的水准下降了，不如《二凤》好看，乔伊金有点担不起来，飒爽的吴青芸这次只是配角，可惜可惜。

D+出品爽剧类网大，刚开始看觉得有点无聊，看到最后居然燃起来了😂 有几处安排得很刻意，放现实中公主可能早就挂了hhhh 但是好几处反转还是蛮巧妙的
没有什么剧情，从头打到尾的电影，两星半……
就看了出差十五夜才看的电影，三分给光洙本色演出
片名应该翻译成《小强公主》，这绝对是个“打不死的小强”，坏人死于多嘴。那么多壮男都打不过两个女人，简直弱爆了，而且公主带着伤都能下水、跳墙、滑坡，丝毫不减战力，真是女权主义的典范。那个越南妹则是妥妥的中国范，挺给这部电影添彩，从颜值上来说，她也比公主强出许多。
给一筐猪接点不同类型的角色叭
忽略这令人无语的剧情，它从头砍到尾的打戏还是可以一看的，虽然动作设计得挺一般，但作为爆米花电影来说还是可以的。不过这公主也太相貌平平了，还没那个越南女配养眼呢。
这部电影搞笑点在于被导演蠢笑了….吴世勋射箭很帅，还是继续加油吧。
作为一部低成本青少年动作电影，能做到这个地步已经很不错了。动作设计不错，没有太多奇淫巧技，而是尽可能让演员去按照真实的格斗逻辑去打斗。当然，受制于成本，只能用大量肉搏戏来填充时长，导致角色塑造上有所缺失。
如其叫非凡公主，不如光环公主更恰当，故事老套，公主无双拯救王国，打斗中规中矩，不难看也不出彩，就是除了公主和女配助手之外，其他国王王后等全是工具人无存在感，爆米花角度来说还行吧，至少我没有快进睇完！
