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.
纯纯的打戏很过瘾，但动作设计单一，看久了疲劳
我好爱战斗公主哎❤师父也好帅气，弓箭只用来射杂兵好亏本，明明这么帅气。公主你随手就丢武器这个行为很要不得啊，分分钟死亡，还好是无双剧本。整部电影好有游戏感，什么时候开发个单机游戏呗。
太闹腾了。低配版指环王和加勒比海盗的混合体。
仿佛横版冲关游戏一样的剧情，虽然剧情没啥复杂故事，主线推进无非就是在城堡里刷地图，不过动作场面看个爽快还是可以的，还穿插了几场 Boss 战
3.5星吧 李光洙的角色设定真的让人想到了rm里的人设 所以反而有点出戏 整部电影整体来说还是不错的 除了一些逻辑…
我怎么能不爱看美少女暴打蛆呢
哐哐哐废话不多说从头打到尾的公主自己救自己的片子看着爽就完事了！
我怎么能不爱看美少女暴打蛆呢
姜河那竟然成长为电影咖了/光洙一如既往搞笑
没什么亮点，到了后面感觉编剧是喝高了，各种随意和天马行空各。整个故事就剩下个编了。唯一的亮点李光洙。
利落的爽片。亚裔女导师没有被西方皮鞭女杀死，而且相貌上也不是高颧骨和斜凤眼。
屁大的王国，士兵守卫都没一个；只有五官大大的公主开挂。
冷兵器时代的007，但范围很小 又像是 暗黑破坏神2开荒遗忘之塔
我看得很开心，我爱性转版的所有经典传统男性英雄故事，王子复仇记变成了公主复仇记
90分钟有2/3都是动作戏，不是在打架就是打架的路上。一路升级打怪到战胜boss的弱智剧情，女主更是开挂pk全凭蛮力没一点头脑
演员们都很卖力，但剧本普通，就很一般。笑点有一些，但缺几个让人爆笑的场景，总的来说还是李光洙最好笑，综艺人设滤镜在，他演这种角色观众能瞬间代入。但说真的，电影里逗乐的点还没有主演仨人跑宣传上的综艺好笑，可惜了这一班演员们。
imax效果好爽看的 女主真的好帅 打斗片段交叉还行 演员演技都还可以的特别是韩孝珠和姜河那 就是剧情比较无聊没有太大看点 海上那种惊险效果还是得在影院看 电影人物除了主演三人以外都不是很突出 不太有记忆点 塑造的不够深刻 特别世勋演的人物一开始挺期待的 但没有运用好 突然就跟公主在一起了也没啥过程 总之就是看个开心吧 很适合放松心情
爽文大女主，能打小公主。反派笨蠢傻，反正她开挂。剧情等于零，低成本网大。
反派太弱智，太嫩，主角光环过于厉害。一个弱女子居然可以以一打十，还特么都是训练过的军人，我只能说挂开得过于明显了一点。
不晓得此片意义在哪，爽片？可是女主打得很累额压根爽不起来额。。。
