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.
立意不错，只要是跟二战有关的题材我都喜欢，黑白镜头很有质感，男主那个脸充满了内疚、惭愧与隐忍。BTW，最后三拍子的片尾曲很是震撼人心，虽然只是钢琴与提琴的对话…
没有想象力 没有创新 全是套路，只能给小孩看，相信我，稍微成年一点的会无聊到睡着了
喜欢看动画片，虽然有点单调，但是动画效果不错
来追杀你
典型的爆米花电影无惊无喜，信仰力量多么伟大那一套早就腻了
比较成熟的故事套路，但是总有不同的展现方式
3.5 广告长片赠送高质量美女贴贴?对不起我拒绝不了。俗套到不需要思考，保持微笑保养眼睛就完事了
很燃！两位父亲的失踪，是不是预示着还有第二部~很用心的设计人物和细节，两个宝贝和我一起看得很开心，片尾曲还一起跳了舞。被瞧不起？那就看看我的本事吧！
通过独一无二的自己创造属于自己的荣誉。
今年看过的最好的动画电影，滑稽的舞步，跳的还蛮有意思的，让我不由地想起了《快乐的大脚》，剧情没必要推陈出新，但是拍的好与坏，就看导演了！对于层出不穷的滥片来说，与音乐，舞蹈，艺术相关的动画电影，还是很不错的！至少，对于热爱这些东西的人来说，是个很大的福利！
处处都看到NBA的影子，特别是那句把天赋带到
有点套路，Steve的外形为什么那么像怪物史莱克啊！不过完成度还是可以，现在看完一个正常完整的故事已经很不错了
他爸呢？怪兽爸呢？火鸡为什么放他回来比赛？人物成长有弧度吗？最后变成怪兽斗舞了？PS怪物好丑
二战题材。男主幸存者，在集中营被德国人用来赌博拳击。后来逃跑成功，为了寻找失散的女友，在拳击大赛中想借新闻，让女友看到。后两人都组成了家庭，最后女友去世前得以相见。
当“花钱看生物互相搏斗”的客体变成非人的怪兽，这件事情的剥削意味就变得更加浓厚了。
典型美国式的夸张和吵闹，剧情内容进度就感觉一直一个套路赶向下一个套路的那种匆忙，需要提醒自己就图个无脑轻松往下看才能看完。三颗星给Frankie和Tay的颜值。
开头看到WWE电影公司简直惊呆哈哈哈哈谁不爱wwe呢
中规中矩的动画片，一切都到位，没有大反转，也无意外喜！
这剧情没十年脑血栓都想不出来 啥玩意啊 这温妮的性格转变奇怪的不行 一会振奋 一会颓废还来来回回 这主角是黑人女孩 这也是陷入瓶颈的一方面吧 属实拉跨
7+，看简介时，我就想到了另一部同类型的电影《冠军》。觉得如果水平相当的话，看不看没啥区别。很庆幸，还是看了。无论从立意还是编剧 叙事方式 切入点 这片子的水平胜于冠军。
