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.
学院派导演，还是可以看得出痕迹的。虽然是命题作文，但是电影的调度、编排，镜头语言和画面剪辑，都可以看得出功力。
比TV难看多了，在电影院睡着了。舞蹈题材非要搬上大荧幕，完全就是暴露制作的不足。给三星真的是为了爱
2.5，从没见过文戏和武戏水平差距如此之大的电影。想了一下还是两颗星吧，中国不缺关于场面，动作，技术这些方面有好点子的人，缺的是能把故事讲好的电影人
故事普普通通，但感情线还是甜的w
虽然电影的制作确实不错，很出人意料的令人惊喜，但影片中宣扬的童话般的价值实在无法引人共鸣（但给最后涨房价的结局点赞）。肖汉失败的人生不是他不努力，而是努力的方向错了，所谓电竞，不过是一个忽悠人并从广大游戏玩家口袋里骗钱的资本玩法而已，真想从电竞资本中薅羊毛，不是一般人能做到的，因为能成为电竞项目的游戏少之又少，而这种项目的最大特点就是：成王败寇，除了冠军，其他人都只是羊。而且这是一个吃青春饭的行业，从十多岁开始入行，十年之后，基本就是废人一个。就像女支女一样，乘正值青春时努力卖笑曲意奉承攒够下半生的钱，妄想清高到出淤泥而不染的，下场都很凄惨。所以这部电影本身就是童话，而童话大多数都是骗人的，但制作方高明的地方就在于结尾彩蛋中的涨房价，让原本幼稚的童话变成了“黑暗童话”，具有浓浓的讽刺意味！
看这部剧总能让我想起另一部《疯狂玛丽的约会》，一样的相貌平平会搞砸一切的女主，一样的被中发漂亮姐姐温暖拯救，一样的开始不被理解，一样最后的美好结局。但更喜欢这部。话说女二真的巨爱笑，巨会和人相处，巨理性，巨理想的情人有没有。
分镜正到爆！！好多都想截图来着！音乐也很好听！因为爱你所以变得脆弱这个好真实呢，制作人的OVA会有么？？十分想看！！话说发情天使吃的那锅饭没事吧哈哈哈哈哈！
君と生きていくこの世界はこんなに切なくて、ただきれいで。
而且舞蹈确实很敷衍，没有多给舞蹈镜头，而是给观众惊讶的镜头来突出

被爱之前，我做任何事情都不需要别人理解；被爱之后，我希望能做一些她理解的事情。
国产小说电视几大意淫主题都在剧中有体现，所以，嗯，是挺充实的。
经典的剧本，不做作的表演，这种草根电影还要期待什么me
营销做得蛮凶的，放在网大的维度或许就算是佳作了，但放在电影的维度还是烂片～枪弹、飙车的实景特效也就能在电脑上看看，故事情节也很粗糙陈旧，父子的感情戏更是硬凹，完全打动不了我～唯一可以称赞的是导演将游戏电影化完成的还不错，让非玩家也能体验到游戏内部的热血与魅力～
中间暂停了几次，看的我自己也太焦虑哈哈哈哈。结局真美好，可有多少人能遇到陪伴自己的人呢，打不开自己的壁垒呀。
这剧情真是tm气死我了，那个女一做那么多坏事，活该过的不好啊，男一对你那么好你反过去坑他是怎么一回事，最后还道歉，爬，女二长得好油腻，动作表情也油腻，难看，还有男一但凡换个难看点的演员，我都不会这么大反应
主题曲太棒太棒，明明看电影之前已经反复听过无数遍，但在结尾响起时还是被狠狠击中。大概是因为跟电影结合得很好，虽然有的设定我不太感冒，但有的点还是很喜欢：我们要一起成长，携手共进；不在你身边的时候，要好好照顾自己；为了与你的每次相见而努力；你是我永远的宝物……
7，有点甜，男主的想法很莫名其妙，哪有啥理所应当的知道
怎麼挑了一部BL動漫，只好當西班牙風情電影看了，不知道他們在裡面折騰些什麼⋯⋯
经费不够的感觉，跳舞的场面真的尴尬的我啊！好在亲热的场面还不错。嘻嘻嘻嘻……
