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.
前面铺垫好长，都快睡着了，看到反转瞬间清醒
解说//女性气质浓厚的电影，果然是女导演，聚焦母女感情和生育焦虑，女主丈夫在本片里几乎就是一个打酱油的角色，好评！电视台女主播面对新人竞争和年龄压力，某天接到的神秘电话让她出现了演出事故，为了补救前去调查，结果发现母弑女案，其中心理医生的嫌疑很大。结局严母已上吊自杀，女主人格分裂
新瓶装旧酒，和假想的自己对话很有意思，谁的青春没这么干过呐。但整体就是少了一种氛围感，让我去感受这份青春
驚呆了。
谁！谁说的没有小太刀！！！拍得跟有声漫画似的，长篇站桩念白+从者排队亮相但无台词+医生等着学妹死然后莫名其妙白送一样的演出，感动之处不感动，燃的地方直接念白浇灭……是我氪的金还不够吗？？？
故事创意不新鲜，但拍的还行，也有一定的悬念，具备一定的可看性，只不过最后有点没沉住气，底泄的有点早，可惜。另外，这女导演似乎很会营造局部惊悚感，应该试试恐怖片。
真的不想多说，不愿意请声优、骤然关停的bgm和乱改剧情带来的迷惑，有一种给医生丧事喜办的荒谬笑话感。
这个影片名字差点让我错过它，看过觉得还是蛮不错的（如此精神疾病的人应该坐不到这个位子吧
故弄玄虚，浪费时间，看三五分钟就能知道结局

看过原贴。帖子看一看、糖吃一吃就好了。电影，大可不必，珍惜时间。 https://www.dcard.tw/f/relationship/p/644599
每每看台偶就会感慨自己的校园生活少了点什么…
亲子间扭曲的关系，究竟是爱自己多一些，还是爱孩子多一些？自私占领高地的时候也许更恨一些，幸福时光的时候也许也是有爱在的吧。
最后火车呼啸而过淹没了周围的声音 谁都不知道她说了句什么 但我想 学长心里肯定在回应道“我也喜欢你”。青春的恋爱就是这么懵懵懂懂又甜到心扉。【周兴哲演戏不太好 但是声音真的好温柔】
那是无限光辉，犹如繁星闪耀的刹那旅途
很好看啊！故事很好，两位女演员超棒，演技到位！连申河均的存在感都被弱化了，了不得！
快乐结尾的青春片让人心情愉悦～最难的是它始终有种现实、接地气的感觉，没有过分的滤镜美化，让人客观地感受到“噢，这就是青春时期啊”！
童年家暴，职场倾轧，生育恐慌，压力太多最终造成了人格分裂。剧情套路一般，全靠演员演技支撑。
虽然全程姨母笑，可是这循环喜欢的老梗实在是。回头想想，那个年纪，真的是除了喜欢，好像没有别的了，而失恋就是世界末日。还有宿舍那段告白，居然不尬。
