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.
远超预期，很偏爱前半段，流畅得像首歌。1.陈辰和郑宇星，不免想到盛夏光年里的彗星、行星和恒星；2.《拥抱》这里选得太妙，作为学吉他的入门曲，四个和弦就形成了这首不管何时听都会心动的歌，而《拥抱》本身就是一首同志歌曲，这一段哼唱到后面生日的惊喜，让我久违地有了当年看青春片的悸动；3.十几岁的我们，对方不喜欢自己，就是足够辗转反侧的事，吴磊和张子枫角色的设定加分不少；4.整个故事很有英国青春片的质感，但内核又很融入本土背景，《壁花少年》的故事在哪儿都在上演；5.《十七岁不哭》里认识的郝蕾演起了妈妈，青春是流淌的。
1.能在荧幕上看见郝蕾演戏嘴角就止不住上扬
陈正道找两个演员拍一拍我的高中生活吧，我保证比这好看。
导演接续了早期作品的青春甜蜜与伤痛主题。本片最出色之处就是抓住了“青春感”！国内大部分所谓“青春片”都没有拍出纯真却又茫然、热切却又多思、张扬却又敏感的气质。
这才是青春片该有的样子，立意高过国内98.5%的青春片，算是给国内的教育体制和家长们、学生们上了一堂漏掉的思修，没有点悬疑色彩就不是陈正道了。与自己和解，正视自己，拥抱自己，才能遇见未来～男女主都很讨喜，
说句矫情的话，在电影院的两个小时，就好像把我自己的青春又温习了一遍。
有时候，我也希望所有的影厅门口，都能够站着一位抱着塑料箱、要收学生手机的班主任。看电影的人，就和高三的人一样，应被短暂剥夺浏览信息和通信的权利。两小时没有输出信号、没有收到消息，哪怕我们在看一部关于“线上传播”的电影。我放任这种专制主义，是因为我相信电影。我不反对在影厅里走神、睡觉。我只是觉得，比起5G信号，电影需要更多一些时间。因为电影的速度，比5G要慢，但它和我们走神、睡觉的频率同步；它的速度，是蕴藏在我们的身体之中的，它可以在电音的振幅里，抽出一个升格的吻。
我认为MING 的确是个男性，这样在中国语境郑宇星的选择才更有力量，他追求MING身上与生俱来的引爆剂气质，用以抵抗他面对空空房间的孤独；而陈辰则追求郑宇星身上浓烈的爱，这甚至出现了一种类似E和R的关系，我爱你因为你会爱。影片最大的矛盾在于男女主角的追求都遇到了挫折，MING 不能陪伴他，而他不能回爱她，成年人的世界就是这样，你喜欢的人不一定喜欢你，你想要的回应不是唾手可得。只有翻过这一座山，才能算是真正成长。
很喜欢，演员养眼配角给力剧本扎实人物情感线有张力，一些暧昧的部分也很巧妙，青春片该有的水平。
我是真没好意思问我朋友“你不感觉ming是个男的吗？”
好的青春片总会让人也想年轻一回去体验一次，这一部就有这种感觉，虽然有很多很俗套的设定，但这大概是这个夏天能给人最大满足感的院线片了。当你说出那句喜欢你时，多希望听到一句我也是，年轻真的太美好了。另外这大概是近几年看到的指向性最明显的LGBT电影了，希望有生之年可以看到我们的电影工作者有机会把那缺失的镜头大胆的拍出来。
张子枫真是气质无敌，把青春少女的种种心思，通过一颦一笑就细腻传出。
长发的子枫妹妹文静乖巧，散发着独特的魅力。“要是喜欢的人也能喜欢自己就好了”。爱而不得是常态，努力学习接受也是常态。
故事还蛮喜欢的，就是有些地方有点尴尬。吴磊成年以后下半张脸好奇怪啊！男演员鼻子太丑特写真的灾难…
第一次好好的看吴磊动态的颜，2小时的恋爱！希望有吴磊剪辑版…💖
点映场看的，不太喜欢张子枫，本来以为是甜腻的夏日爱情片。没想到是性转版的蓝色大门，直接看哭，看完电影恍惚了几个小时。在内地这么逼仄的环境下，导演还试图去关照到少数人群的成长故事，我很感动
确实是难得一见的发生在当今语境下的青春片，少年与家长的戏都不悬空，充满现实感。至于结尾有争议的吻戏，个人觉得还是很合理，那是一个慰藉的吻、一个告别的吻，与渣不渣男毫无关系。子枫妹妹太会演了，眼角眉梢都是戏，吴磊相较之下太一般了，台词与表演都只是将将及格。很难说这是个关于LGBT的片子，作为如此模糊的背景信息出现，这是2021年。
青春的记忆总是那些，早恋、高考、家庭矛盾，再平凡不过了，充斥着整个青春年华。每位演员都很惊艳，其中我最感触的一幕是郑宇星跟Siri对话，那种孤独感，形影单只被吴磊演绎的非常好。
我敢说这是近年来最好看的青春片，没有之一！整部片子很轻快明朗，没有堕胎撕逼这种疼痛文学，很贴近现实，同学之间的打闹让人仿佛回到了高中时期。吴磊弟弟真的好帅啊！尤其是成为DJ打碟的时候，帅疯了！这张脸真的好适合在大荧幕上，帅到我男朋友都在惊呼：卧槽！吴磊怎么这么帅？！我个人感觉弟弟的演技被低估了，可能因为长得太好看了吧？他的眼睛好像会说话，眼神就能传达出许多情绪，哭戏也是一绝，他一哭我也跟着哭，代入感很强。郝蕾老师一如既往的稳，演戏很自然也很细腻，不愧是影后，祖峰老师还有郑宇星爸爸的扮演者，演技也都非常好，有这些老戏骨的加入，这部电影也是锦上添花了。看的时候就有个疑问，陈辰的设定是哪里人啊？怎么子枫妹妹说台词带点腔调，感觉怪怪的，不过整体演得还行吧。
如果喜欢的人也喜欢你，那现在就是未来。如果喜欢的人不喜欢你了，那就自己去未来。
