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.
有生之年没想到在蜡笔小新里看见柯南和变形金刚。。。还有，风间是不是喜欢小新啊。。。。
「青春」是恋爱，是后悔，是谜团重重，是全力奔跑，是此时此刻。所以啊，青春里的「无意义」也是必不可少的。
Fire！青春！
“一星期份的抱抱”，广志和美伢虽然不是“最菁英”的父母，但一定是最温暖的父母！
人设不算喜欢，但故事还是流畅，阶级割裂在什么年龄、什么社会都是存在。阿呆和正男都有春天，哈哈哈哈，但风间小新的春天真的好亮啊，非常热血的一集。
新酱“然而我这灵魂是一把火，不烧起来的话会难过。”
"青春是恋爱，闪闪发亮，自卑感，后悔，人情世故，孤独，好耶好耶，曾经拥有，此时此刻，Fire，谜团重重…"
挺好的，虽然海淀鸡娃的家长永远不会认可，可世上还有人愿意告诉大家快乐万岁就很好了。
这不比高考作文好吗？！青春是什么 是曾经拥有过 青春是？全力冲刺！青春是？就是当下！
衡量一个人永远不只是成为精英，那些世俗所谓的优秀，在人类最真挚美好的品格面前黯然失色。我们喜欢蜡笔小新，很多时候都是喜欢那些美好的品格——善良、可爱、积极、勇敢、真诚等等。
对于特定人群的动画片，做得非常好了，大人小孩，各有各的看点，且不违和。结尾那句正经又无厘头的“我在想日本的未来”，结合片中的学英文、精英教育算法，是对过于慕强的日本人一种算不上反思的怂怂提醒吧，也许他们大哥在疫情中的表现让他们察觉到了什么。
哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈燃烧吧青春，蜡笔小新真是永远可爱
蜡笔小新的剧场版和TV真的是两部番，竟然还玩反乌托邦这套。
青春是什么…是存在内心不管几岁也不觉得自己年华老去。
蜡笔小新哪里幼稚了，根本现实得令人难以置信地心碎……不过最后也真是给出了好好的答案，让人再一次看到了希望。
剧场版无论是亲情还是友情都能讲得让人热泪盈眶
难得的春日部防卫队做主角，而野原一家跑龙套的剧场版，我很喜欢。
每年一部的多啦A梦已经感动不了我了，但是新之助仍然行！！！！！！！
作为父母无论是那孩子丢脸也好被笑也好，只要他能抬头挺胸的好好生活就够了
"无论错几次都能从头开始，那就是青春啊。"
