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.
陈以文的片子里好巧不巧地又出现了有关驾照的台词，不知道是不是已经成为湾湾电影圈的一个梗。片中陈以文说“驾照还没发回来”。
艾灸越来越像是传销。跟什么活力霜、正骨康之类差不多是一路货色，宣传能医百病。
片名让人好奇 看完感觉就是科普了オートアサシノフィリア 既不恐怖也不搞笑 不过快结束我爆笑了
甜圭看起来状态比预告片好太多…被男高中生掐着说出只想被女孩子杀掉的时候有笑到/提供了一些女A男O文学素材谢谢导演（
没人觉得演绿植物的那妹子很靓吗，男主居然不动心。。。。
很搞笑啊，嗯，有点漫才的感觉，一个人的世界变得很热闹了，多好
最最驚訝的是片中看到昱呈結婚，隔沒多久他就真的在臉書公佈結婚，人生。
啥问题都检查不出来 但是草莓医生一直说阿震还是有病 这医生简直就是有病。
可能还没到那个年纪跟阶段没什么感触，但好多坑没填
动物拟人化的剧本不错，可惜没有深挖，整体呈现效果也一般，如果交给开心麻花，相信会火爆不少。
欧洲片 从生活中 到生活里去 二陈好演技 陈湘琪太棒了 湾湾最好女演员
题材倒是挺好，但是拍的处处透着一股小家子气。
禁忌恋精神分裂迫害妄想症大杂烩，学校礼堂自缢真够cult的。说实在的喜欢这片子的镜头，只是内容指代不明。【amazon生肉】
喜欢，看似什么都没讲其实已经讲了全部，因为这就是全部。我觉得电影里有突出贡献的前几名可以算是收音师音效师或声指了，妻子和丈夫在家里的那几场戏，包括妻子自己在家的那几场，我觉得各种声音处理得特别好，婚姻已经走到相顾无言没有话的状态了，在家里听到的任何声音：榨汁音，吃药的声音，收拾碗碟的声音等每种都在放大，都变得刺耳，让人难以忍受徒添火气。至于所谓修行，钟声每响一次都是妻子在生活的急流里寻找还未被完全淹没的石头的一刻，可惜后来，水势凶猛到她再也难以找到落脚的石头，然后怎么办，被困，崩溃，然后接着生活，有时候life still goes on真是很恶心的一句话。
尚可 散场听人讨论龙标号是2018年的 漫画改的嘛 剧本比想象中好玩 还算愉快
对中年人生的呐喊，但无论是危机还是出轨，都没有任何劲道。影帝影后各自在努力发挥却没有任何火花。
故事都讲不好，硬加笑点更尴尬。 最后花妞稍微晚回了一点我的心情。 许久没见的张子栋还是很可爱。 焦俊艳整个角色太尴尬了，人设尴尬剧情尴尬，硬加的感情线更尴尬、不如就做个中二少年的梦、也比现在好点

这篇小说我看过，很短很精炼。电影女方天天求修行拜拜，男方上班看女同事。吃饭各吃各的。女方说狗不能吃咸的男的把鸡腿骨头带到公园给狗吃。太精辟了这段婚姻描述。夫妻去看失智的前小三，女方回电说不去，委托书揉了又拿出来，自己先去看了。男方说不去，最后还是一起踏上路程。那个钵的声音真的很通灵，结扎狗男主在紧张什么，诶祈祷班没了后女主走到公园滑梯滑下来那段我真的好难受，去给老公送儿子结婚的礼服发现他在🐞。。。还要拉着男的去洗澡我真的谢，最后婚礼结束又回家了，一星女主，不太好看，片尾曲好听
虽然按类型片分类，这是一部不折不扣的喜剧片，但这部充斥着怪诞情节设置和黑色幽默的影片，绝不仅仅是想逗观众笑笑而已。在邪恶的外壳里，装的是洗心革面的勇气，配上幽默的语言，在洗脑和反洗脑中循环挣扎，弱小也好、强大也罢，当你一切释然，跳出固定的局限，也可以实现不可思议的转换。
