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.
期望越大，失望越大！打斗不尽兴，剧情太儿戏。
我得承认自己是个很吃情怀那一套的人，虽然中间的剧情看得让人血压直升，但十多年过去了还能再次看到前两版蜘蛛侠（尤其是被中断的加菲版）故事的延续，前面多么不友好的观影体验都忘得一干二净了，当然，所有的观影快感都仅来自于之前来自索尼、网飞或漫威本家中各路不同版权作品里熟人的参演和互动，能让我记住的视觉奇观居然有且只有奇异博士玩的大折叠了。片尾的动画设计也可以提一嘴。
激动于三虫同框，也失望于三虫同框，他本来应该是个更好的筹划了很久，在最后一刻情感彻底爆发出来的片子，而不是这个因为市场需求，让所有角色都降智而强凑的卖弄。因为最开始的营销，我是疯狂的期待着的，但是因为大陆无法上映的原因，我的热情也渐渐逝去了，也足以证明，这部电影是一个凑热闹的公园而毫无营养。
全员降智，好失望。三代同框勉强拉到及格分，加菲接住另一个宇宙的M.J全片唯一泪点！！
不如把这部电影名字改成《论男圣母婊的作死行为大赏》。太爱凸显自己青春无敌热情善良的蜘蛛侠，拜托三部了还这个套路是个人都会看腻的好吗。成长了半天回到原点这是，还非要强塞告诉我只顾眼前没有大局观的三观是正确的是吗？
剧情设置很刻意，但三代同框还是情怀点拉满了。漫威自黑依旧好笑，结尾超期待多元宇宙(´･_･`)求求了，引进吧

每代蜘蛛侠都有一个自我成长的过程，1代2代都是在第一部就经历过（有了能力，做了选择，害了至亲）。3代小蜘蛛遇上了托尼爸爸，虽然被托尼罩着，但宇宙级群架也没少打，所以自我成长这一块就被耽搁了（3代年龄设定上也是最小的一只）。第3部只是补回了小蜘蛛的自我成长过程，让他成为了内心更强大的小蜘蛛。
逻辑有问题，比如Strange说的“人数是恒定”的这一点，那么catch MJ实际上没有起到任何fix-it的作用，因为其实只是换成May了嘛。
奇异博士打不过蜘蛛侠，萎了，多一星纯粹是给托比蜘蛛侠
至于蜘蛛侠本人，我看到的一个关键词就是“回归”，三代前两部不能说不好看，只是总感觉没有那个味儿了，他正在从钢铁侠庇护下的“睡衣宝宝”变成真正的“好邻居蜘蛛侠”。
三代同框,诚意之作!不得不佩服好莱坞电影工业如行云流水般丝滑!
17岁男孩所谓的道德标准和正义感，酿成了自己所不能承担的后果。当视他如子的钢铁侠殒命，他明白了肩上责任的重大；当梅姨因他而白白送命，他懂得了做出抉择就要背负后果。小蜘蛛🕷️，还要多久你才能真正的成长，真正的成为下一个“钢铁侠”，感觉还要好久……
为什么最近几年，系列电影的最后一部，总逃不出“没完没了的说教+没完没了怀旧情怀”的陈旧框架。关于生命中重要的人都会忘掉蜘蛛侠真实身份这个贯穿全片的点，一堆编剧是不是都集体忘掉了：在智能手机普及的当下，一起拍点照片，短视频存着，好像不难吧。//补：能力越大，责任越大，这里的能力如果只是超能力，智力跟不上的话，只能说能力越大，灾难越大。
怀旧饭心能懂，但对白白烂得糟心，把坏人个个治疗好就变回好市民的脑洞幼稚到可笑的程度，集愚蠢无语于一身的holland版蜘蛛侠到底什么时候能落幕。
前一个小时堪称荷兰弟“成长的教育”或者我的玛丽苏小说，小身板已经练成一个阿姨可以垂涎的模样了，还对女朋友死心塌地。后半截shxt went down的时候，我哭了好几回：1）三只在学校roof的时候talk abt the heartbroken moment of losing someone; 2)Andrew接住MJ的时候我抽了一下；3）荷兰弟的哭戏可真好，like a man baby; 4) 片尾曲three is magic number会心一笑；5）我明明没老，居然可以binge watch三个spiderman系列了，还是我真的老了？我还记得第一部spiderman上映的时候跟中学同学一起追《看电影》上面的蜘蛛装备唉我可能是真的老了
只要钱到位，没有什么是同框不了的！#彼得接住格温我一个大爆哭的动作！！！！
为什么蜘蛛侠他圣母梅姨挂掉的时候我笑出来了。这部情节之弱智无逻辑其实能把人蠢哭。
多元宇宙—买了一把情怀还解决了版权。商业的胜利，恭喜索尼。
所有拿情怀来添补剧情漏洞的摸鱼系主创都应该和JJ Abrams一起被丢到黑洞里去。索尼我再给你一次机会速速拍一个托比加菲的恋爱片。
