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.
PS：“世上只有妈妈好”再扳一城。
这一部Hardin就是小狼狗哇，又奶又狼，自卑患得患失，哭的时候就是小可怜。结局我一个大无语，居然还换爹了，太惨了呜呜呜。第四部快来吧快来吧🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Hardin明明一脸渣男相，在亲密关系里反而是爱得更加无法自拔的那一个，真是没有说服力。Tess的每件衣服我都想给她烧掉，完美暴露身材缺点，有些镜头里显得比男主还要壮实……after拍到三感觉俩人的家庭怎么越来越破碎的，我想要的双向救赎的老梗在哪里？！不知道下一部剧情怎么走了……
这要是欧美拍的，画面一定更大胆，这要是攀龙附凤的话，还有点安东尼奥尼放大的意思，前面还非常好，女大学生剥茧抽丝从细节中找到真相，然后弱者挑战强权的情绪悬疑很到位，最后几分钟就没意思了，变成了metoo现场，个人非常讨厌metoo的活动，那不是权益保护，而是大型的厌男和厌性宣传活动，摸了下屁股，言语透露出想约炮，摸了下大腿蹭了下胸都控告什么性侵，太他么矫情了，生活在这个世界上，只要你长得正常且青春水嫩，你就要接受男人都想上你的事实，老天创造男人就这么创造的，你把男人对性的渴望和表达都看成罪恶，那是你的问题，渴望男性都变成没有任何性暗示的社会动物，不可能的
甚至怀疑男女主要在这无休无尽的续集里假戏真做🤦♀️
害 我就是为了男女的颜才看 我喜欢看他们doi
没有遵循公正和美好的结局模式，这使得它看起来很震撼，也很现实。我们看到女主角在每个阶段都因为说出真相而受到羞辱。
与广大的豆瓣网友一样：这尼玛还有3？但我还是看了😂。更过分的竟然还有4!!!
反观123只有他们念过的文学作品比较精华😅别硬安傲慢与偏见了
比第2部多少强一点，但还是好狗血，尤其是最后一下。而且这些人为什么互相都认识，我没漏看啊……
看了好郁闷啊，一个受害女子面对有权有势的人们的欺压，在现实中默默吞下去的人有多少呢
剧情真的是我看过最傻的，但是男主真的好帅好帅好帅好帅好帅好帅好帅好帅呜呜呜呜呜呜呜呜呜呜呜呜呜呜呜呜呜呜
前面还有点好笑，尤其是钱老板出场那段，后面就太一般了，彩蛋里的皮特我没懂…两星半
男主好烦好烦好烦好幼稚控制欲好强，已经在跳过了，大家别看了，避雷
剧情很鸡毛，但是谁不愿意看帅哥美女谈恋爱呢？没有困难也要给他们制造困难
H&J的化学反应永远是那么爆炸性🔥
第三步应该3.5🌟……这部的共情更深，可能就是你给他的一个电话开始
第3部的冰块play和健身房play好喜欢哦……还有最后的剧情让我很期待4！ˊ_>ˋ
How are they so toxic but appealing at the same time??? 不得不说英国男人和伦敦适配度拉满
