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.
《萤火虫女孩》被改编得面目全非。至少有两个故事是成人的怀旧视角。相对来说，比较喜欢《哼将军和哈将军》
小松菜奈的独白，靠在妈妈肩膀上流泪是整个故事最能抓住我情绪的部分。看电影前觉得普普通通的歌，当结束屏幕黑掉都会觉得被升华了。这次有特意去听配乐，感受了一把没有歌词的纯音乐力量。就是就是比那一部好看。
看成了“舍命十年”，指男女主互相豁出去陪伴了对方十年
真的太平了，平的节奏很慢，没有夸张的正邪对抗、人物造型，但却让我看的甘之如饴。每一个小故事都很温馨，勾起了我们中国人关于爱的含蓄表达。满满的烟火气，也不失诗意。
其实大家都在讨论国产动画电影该如何原创和创新，但这真的是需要勇气和魄力的。为这些动画人的勇气和魄力点赞。
【1.5】果然被拍得俗套又廉价，甚至你根本不知道两个人的情感从何而来，总之稀里糊涂就开始铂爵旅拍了，Nana酱再美也无济于事啊。
克制又眼泪狂流，结尾又回到了平静，真好啊，能把这么沉重又因为常见而略显轻飘的主题讲述得如此深刻，却又隔着一段距离克制地观察着，观察着。亲情line友情line还有爱情line没有一条被忽视，这是真的某个人的十年啊。因为疫情和事务被困住的我和nana一起哭🥲
快进看的 男女主原本这么好看的人 拍的却这么无聊
今日經歷了本年度最嚴重的一次情緒失控 因此後半段浸在淚水裡 拔不出來 想得卻不可得 你耐人生何
本来这电影也是奔着两位主角去的，真的太无聊倍速看完的，如果换作是高中的我或许还能接受，就像坂口的那部与君相恋100次也差不多这个套路，但当时我还能哭出来，现在看到这些煽情已经无感了…
北京电影节带孩子看完的。如果公映，都值得去看看。是七个小绘本故事组成的。
#2022金馬奇幻影展# 就是你能想到的那種日本電影，都2022了還在拍「哭！給我哭！」的絕症題材，訣別台詞依然幼稚，我好愛你、不要走掛嘴邊，本來還想說なな與奈緒的友情會不會多描寫一點，所以，不要對藤井道人還有流量明星的電影有期望，大家都是為了看なな跟ｋｅｎｔａｒｏ談戀愛的，結果戀愛的酸臭味都沒嗅到就分手了。
暴饮暴食一顿之后答应了他的交往请求 觉得自己时间不多了之后又提前离开了他 其实喜欢的话就多在一起一点就好了 反正最后的结局都是面对离别啊
剧情老套到从开头能预测到结局。矫揉造作。白瞎了美女。
我想着十年不够惨啊是不是有其他很惨的剧情呢，结果并没有……但是十年真的不算惨啊……
小兔子弄明白了所有问题，可她还是要在经历中才能就这些问题做出自己的思考，给出自己的答案；睡着的公交车司机大叔，即便梦醒了应该也是温暖且开心的吧！小火车不仅要驶出长长的、黑暗的隧道，还要驶向更加光明的未来；翼娃子终有一天会走出父母工作的小店，在炊烟与喧闹之中去追求属于自己的人生光环。所以你看，人生还是充满了意义的，不是吗？
每个故事都能勾起童年或多或少的回忆，也许每个人心中都有几件无人知晓的童年往事，或者沉重、或者遗憾，但唯有面对这些秘密，才可能为它们找到出口。也因此，这个故事不仅写给孩子，也写给那些曾经是孩子的成年人。
十几年前的我会被一公升的眼泪感动得稀里哗啦 但现在已经不太行了 何况情感浓度远远不能及 时刻举着dv的小松菜奈更衬得这出配乐满到溢出来的戏像一支加长版mv/不过坂口健太郎还是帅的
1.请自杀嗰d揾稍微高小小嘅地方跳,3米左右唔跳就罢. 2.勉强无幸福,讨厌死缠烂打嘅屌丝男
好像看了两个小时的mv，全靠nana的颜在撑……“只要有你在身边，我感觉自己无所不能。”
