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.
如果是要演自己的话 应该是会有些不同的吧 可是黄政民戏里戏外没有什么不同 甚至和他以前的角色没什么区别 是角色而不是自己
有一种想见不能见的伤痛，看到那一幕女主出院在车上看健人的那时候，心里就响起这首歌
十五分钟就不行了。。樱花美的 kenty美的 可能不是这种type
没想到2022年了还能看到绝症设定这么复古的纯爱电影，不过爱情元素倒不多 或者说不够深刻吧。给我感觉更多的是一种绝症来临之时挣扎的苦痛和折磨，还有命运面前的无力感，剧情是如此真实。樱花和烟花都是绚烂而短暂，但烟花转瞬即逝，而樱花是一片一片逐渐凋落。《恋空》《我的初恋情人》就像烟花，让人记住的是绚烂的时刻，《我的樱花恋人》正如樱花一般，盛开后是开花末期，挣扎努力绽放着最后的花瓣，然后完全凋谢。
比“吾先生”更像是部合格的类型片，各部门的综合素质都略高一些。最后呈现出的效果背离了原版的写实，但更刺激不是么？
kenty的演技真的让人惊喜，跳出了舒适区也能撑起来真的很棒，期待俳优kenty之后的作品！
日本文化的特色，看来看去都是虚伪。
哭到脑壳疼的一部片子，极度煽情，剧情平平，也有许多不符合常理的地方，但是作为一部主打煽情的纯爱剧，中规中矩。
男女主角挺养眼的，情节一般吧吧，不知道为啥男主因为没能认出女主，竟然崩溃到想要自杀…这里哥哥的爱让我感动到了
妈的，后面真的是赚足了我的眼泪，这种早衰设定本身就很让人悲伤与遗憾。摄影师的心情容易影响作品的呈现，幸好最后男主能把那一年的美好化作了今后不断向前的动力，而不是就此了结人生，找到自己人生的方向也是这部影片传达出来的正能量。在春日的樱花下相知，在冬日雪地里告别，女主接过樱色的帽子，也触碰到了她一直心心念念的恋人，圆满了。
不好不坏的爱情剧。不算为了感动观众而堆砌，但仍旧为了让人哭在隐隐较劲。
早衰症拍爱情就是很现实的看见也认不出来，有被哥哥打动到，生病的话还是家人的爱更直观
米娜桑看的时候一定要抱着纸巾盒啊。Kenty演技是可以的，平日电力十足的撩人眼神在这部片里没有一点痕迹。
期待值挺高但没有达到预期，剧情略俗套也没有预想中那么感人，女主鼻孔相当瞩目
剧情很一般，属于看了前面就能知道后面是什么的剧，情节也能猜到，但是就算这样还是哭了好久好久，中岛健人的演技有进步了，后面发现错过女主那里哭的时候很有代入感，女主演技还是有点尴尬
难以想象是一部新的电影……1星给“扶老奶奶”那段，有感动到🙁
一般般吧，情节有些拖沓，也不太吸引人。但日剧一向的唯美还是有的。

尝试记录下自己的观影。前期有点拖沓，但是抵不住后面一小时的泪点狂崩。看完是十分难受的心情
