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.
真是有钱就是任性啊，一顿大乱炖，看的云里雾里，不过外国人是比我们开放，吸毒乱交张嘴就来啊，看的倒是很真实。荒诞不经的一出闹剧看完，没留下太深的印象，只是感慨好久没有看到不舍的快进的电影了，好久没有看到看完之后还能深思会议的电影了，加油吧
倒不是说电影有什么问题，只是对这种防疫生活shit厌倦了
烂片中拍烂片，实际上也是烂片，荒诞但又能理解的傻X剧情，疫情下的演员在剧组“保护”下拍电影的闹剧。这新冠什么时候才能结束呢？很悲哀但又无解的问题。玩梗和各种咖客串挺多的，但没戳中我的笑点。唯有Run让我的“搁这搁这”之心燃了一下。
每个人都在抱怨发疯，又无人正真去解决问题。和之前另一部网飞神剧《不要抬头》对政治的嘲讽之能有的一拼。剧中出现很多古早冒险电影里的惯用桥段，什么镜头怼脸拍尖叫特写，硬汉男用火焰枪打怪物，被打的怪物也会找妈妈的。全片笑点超多，值得推荐。
正在全城隔离中看到此片，只想找有没有6星的按钮～
惊悚电影《囚禁》我只想说，由于此前过于无趣，真的，我都没有看完，好吧！故事无聊，场景单一，惊悚和血腥也不行…就几个演员…所以，我到底为什么还要看下去呢？真的是一部小成本的无趣惊悚片，豆瓣居然有6分？这样的故事，真的不值这个分数！好吧…我被欺骗了啊！就这样吧，说多无益了…哈哈
玩的很野，讽刺得很到位，打恐龙蛋蛋那里简直笑死人。某种层面上来说演员也真是挺悲惨的，谁不想当投资人煤老板啊
有没有一种可能，女主逃出茶水间后，找到手机，带着孩子跑路哪怕是躲到林子里，电影就结束了？女主为了电影时长操碎了心。一对瘾君子夫妇，女主成功戒后，想与老公分开，老公不同意。
囚禁反杀反毒宗教隐喻片。一个母亲被渣男老公关进密闭空间，逃出密闭空间，战胜渣男老公和同伙，最后救赎自己，理解家人，重获新生的故事。 女主应该是丈夫一起在一个地...
是是是，我知道超级英雄不能误伤平民绝无附带伤害，连敌人也要人道缴械，审讯最多用绳子捆捆，我知道战斗力爆表毁天灭地的超能力打到人身上最多击飞或流几滴血，我知道超级英雄绝对伟光正可以有懵懂的纯爱但绝不能有性生活，因为横店和好莱坞也是这么拍的。但是，陀摩塔奇，真不关你“731”夹带私货的事（虽然这事确实没法原谅），前四季燃归燃好歹还有人物撑着，出了个圈粉的白发萝莉和水手服小丑女，可你现在战斗分镜画不过巨人，线条美学只有矩形，巴黎侠盗小哥简直就是照着《疯狂动物城》的狐狸画的。当英雄主义变成另一种主流意识形态，我有那么一刹那以为在看中国主旋律电影，绿谷是毛吗？英雄已死，如果不能复活，拜托不要做僵尸出来害人了。对不起。

这部片子最吸引人的是你能看到好莱坞电影工业制作流程。映射不少了演员和制片公司。自嘲自黑还是很逗的。至少从头到底没快进。
好**的沙雕… 明明挺有意义的一个角度，拍纪实或者甚至拍个魔幻都比这种土俗恶心的低级趣味好得多！ 浪费时间
好了好了，爹咪别秀了。
超小成本，也没有紧张刺激，也没有特别烂，但就是剧情不温不火，即使你边干别的事，再回来，还是能接上。
讽刺不高明的段子大锅炖 詹一美的客串好惊喜23333 Daisy最后在红毯也好好笑 但这部作为电影真的不行...
第十三天居家隔离，脑残快乐但至少乐过，就这样吧。我家一美客串太惊喜啦~
一本正经地叫一帮演员拍一个疫情期间电影制作的全过程。就是没有任何意义，瞎折腾，各种吐槽。也算一种艺术吧。如果真的想要艺术，那得是《stage》。如果只是无聊，可以随便看看。
两部电影共通点是歌能听…
