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.
3.7，为麻酱而来，麻酱的一颦一笑都牵动我心，越来越有女人味了，身材也很棒。即便眼角有岁月痕迹，但这种笑容才最真且最为动人。麻酱的不服与无奈的表情也太可爱了叭~配乐依旧古典，依旧华丽，依旧印象深刻，优于19年，不过分张扬，无声画面好评。男主跳舞穿插于开篇，此举有何意义？原来是为了呼应片尾假面舞会探戈。木村不愧是已婚老男人
和第一部一样，前面铺垫一堆悬念烟雾弹，后面都是烂解释，不过这次还好，烟雾弹之间串起联系了。这个凶手在《泪光闪闪》里也和长泽雅美合作过唉。动机我还是没搞懂，找妹妹的替代品然后发现替代不了，然后就把对方杀了？这什么逻辑啊。。。一开始还以为她是自认为男性，然后情杀。不过这个姐姐扮男装真的惊到我了！好冷的气质啊！眼神里一股狠劲儿。为什么影片把酒店氛围描述的那么神乎啊。。感觉到了酒店就进去了另一个世界吗？可现实去酒店不都匆匆忙忙的吗，真有人那么注重享受酒店氛围吗。还"不能对客人说做不到"，听得我都烦了。
有点贺岁片的意思，最后把东京酒店最好的员工给洛杉矶酒店，有点小日子舔美爹的意思了，哈哈哈
剧情不怎么样。不过十元+咩酱的组合挺好的，感觉比gakki+咩酱要更符合。
哇都什么年代了日本还会拍这样的电影？一个女孩子像“物”一样从一个人里转移到另一人手里，最后交给老公？什么玩意？亲身父亲为了一个不切实际的理想不和家人商量就远走高飞，最后女儿还不怨他？这什么乱七八糟的！
比第一部精彩一点点；雅美2年明显衰老了，但是，感觉挺好，自然真实的美。
三点五星，扣半星是有点早的猜到凶手了...
推理和剧情的严密性没了，满篇都只能感受到酒店理念，续作好像都会翻车
太理想化了……但凡换的老公里有一个人是人渣，梨花和优子就凉凉了。
劇情裡面的每一個男人都很莫名。石原里美來當我的繼母吧，我好愛嗚嗚嗚
再次证明这种老土催泪剧情依然能成功让我哭。懒得吐槽剧情还是感慨咩妹真是美弟弟也还是帅，光是为了这两人也值得一看了。
这拍的都不像畅销君了 // 这浓浓的舞台剧fu // 结尾演职员表才是看点（不是…
有点像国内过年的贺岁片儿。看到美酱和小日向大叔在就感觉随时要变成行骗天下。结束的时候还是phantom of the opera的老梗。东野不太行啊。
剧情如果忽略一定的逻辑关系其实还行，但导演功力不行，双线叙述挺失败的。但咩酱也太可爱了！
一位女性为了满足自己当母亲的心愿给继女找了两人接盘侠的故事。
中间挺好看的 凶手没猜到 倒是猜到酒店的「卧底」😆
伪造的亲情接力棒，浮夸的表演让人更不敢置信无血缘亲情的真实性
客串阵容依旧豪华，比前作的伏笔性更强了点。但感觉最后的结局还是很牵强，有些情节和剧情主线放一起很突兀。不过看到两种职业操守的价值观碰撞，涉及服务业，片中展现出的极致。
三个爸爸，题材和故事都不错的，感觉有不少导演都可以处理得更好。
如果人生真的如优子的经历一般那一定是一段跌宕起伏的经历，但是故事却拍得很平淡，故事的走向也基本都能猜到。不过有些情节的氛围渲染得很好，还是会让人投入，比如说毕业典礼。
