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.
有赠票，因为没有鲁西西合适的场次，带小外甥去看的，所以不得不看了这一部没有评分的电影。竟然意外还不错！有头有尾有伏笔，还有很多中国人才懂的梗，老少皆宜！
女主演技差，不过整体还可以。青春迷茫的氛围拍出来了
爆米花片。为了桑婆和钱老板看的。他们玩得开心，我看得开心，就好。至于这剧情就随意吧。

国产还是值得鼓励，就是搞笑一块还要加强。最搞笑的点居然是二哈那里。总之还是蛮可爱的。
太多网络用语 略显尴尬 一些历史细节其实能启发一些兴趣
中文也很好玩啊：o妹儿o妹儿，这个儿化就很有灵性了。
感受到了浓浓的青涩感。
这么多中国元素的电影。。。。竟然是大陆出品。那就是这么多欧美元素。。。
爱情喜剧混搭探险寻宝类型题材。——“But don't minimize the people that love your work by calling it shlock. That's not fair to them. ” 某五方听完应该好好反省下。
没想到小狗狗竟是坏狗，时空之花真是太棒啦！
跟老公说：买了这么多乐高真浪费，拼完再也不碰了，要不你再拆开重新拼一下。他回击，“你买包不是也一样，这么多爱马仕都不用每天柜子里放放着，比我浪费多了”。瞬间哑口无言
勉强给3星吧，看在它让我轻松度过一天国庆假期的份上。
创意不错，感觉比一般的国产电影高级一些。反正四岁的孩子很喜欢，就值了。
我喜欢动画片，但我不喜欢和小孩一个场看动画片
陪孩子看的，动画制作一般，胜在故事不错，希望国产动画更上一层楼。
疼痛的青春片，反应日本现实年轻人的问题。
从动画片的角度来看还是很成功的，不管是大人还是小孩，相信都可以看得很开心。
英文版yyds，真的真的很欢乐，好多梗想让你翻白眼，但是又真的好好笑，这电影不比nm的沙比麻花出品的电影好一万倍？？
