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.
乘风在叙事上极大地提升了震撼程度，“父辈”不光是“父亲”，也是未必成为父亲的那一代革命先烈。
昨天正好看了长津湖，今天再看吴京这个故事有点审美疲劳。章的故事出乎意料好，旁边妹子哭了起来。徐峥的故事没有上升高度反而感觉很好。沈的那个get不到。
可能这是唯一一部能让我流泪的007吧。明知是套路，还是妥妥地、心甘情愿地被套路。
211028 - 是非常合格的商业片，打斗和追车戏很爽还挺合逻辑，虽然有两个半小时但基本不会觉得漫长。最后高潮那一幕，爆炸前屹立着的Bond，啊好浪漫……凄美而伟大的死亡会无限地激发人的创作欲…………另外就是我超喜欢007近几年的片头，色彩搭配和蒙太奇的手法让我目眩神迷，这一部用枪支和弹道组成DNA链我整个沉醉……
重温父辈时代，在光影间品味他们的光辉岁月，从革命、建设、改革开放到创新新时代，通过父辈的奉献和奋斗，展现民族精神，彰显国泰民安，走近大国小家的故事与感动。
以前搞科研太艰辛了
徐峥深谙寓教于乐切题之术，章子怡在苦情里拍出了柔韧。吴京最差，拍马战没战术，全拍马断腿受伤，拍牺牲靠硬煽情，审美更谈不上。
没想到是这么悲情的结局，忍不住拉踩谍6。虽然蕾雅赛杜很美，可之前不是说安娜是新任邦女郎吗？希望下一部还会有安娜。
第一个故事太过拉胯，吴京片子中对集体主义崇高感的强调和对个人英雄主义的追求和我的价值观相冲，乘风牺牲时我被气得哇哇哭。第二个故事讲得太好太好了，章子怡的美貌演技毫无疑问，做导演的才华也非常令人惊艳。第三个故事很“小聪明”，深度谈不上，轻松快乐还可以。第四个故事是很典型的“开心麻花”式喜剧，即使知道故事的发展走向，也忍不住随着里面的人物又哭又笑。沈叔叔和马丽真的好可爱呀~
《诗》这个故事真是浪漫、柔软又坚定，让我感受到了女性的力量和坚持。
本片那種詹姆斯邦德悽美落幕的感覺相當明顯，雖然也有再會的感覺，但大部分角色都退場或者換人，使得故事發展空間越變越狹窄。奧斯卡影帝拉米馬雷克飾演的反派相當雞肋，失去了間諜動作片所應該總有的曲折和刺激，幸好凱瑞雷永用優秀的攝影和場面挽回局勢，不過也說明了007從六十年代誕生到至今，冷戰的格局越來越難寫（世界早已不一樣），詹姆斯邦德也由最早的風流倜儻的肖恩康納利演變到如今丹尼爾克雷格的沉鬱深情，可見邦德形象始終要與時俱進，種族性別並非要點，關鍵在於詹姆斯邦德還是屬於觀眾對性渴求想象，能達到這一點，才能成功續寫邦德的神話。
夸一夸徐峥，这次非常有惊喜，几个转场轻松愉快，徐峥拿捏的很好，简直自带幽默光环。
民族抗争～建设奉献～改革开放～展望未来
徐峥深谙寓教于乐切题之术，章子怡在苦情里拍出了柔韧。吴京最差，拍马战没战术，全拍马断腿受伤，拍牺牲靠硬煽情，审美更谈不上。
第二高亮是诗片尾的诗。
这个系列真就是几个导演pk现场，这届轮到演员转型的导演了。 合家欢最服沈腾，果然也是最好笑的；小人物果然徐峥，弄堂里的事，说的简单不浅薄，像一篇老作文，弘扬真善美那种；中国力量最服吴京，果然厉害，也最催泪，中国父子复杂又特殊的亲密也有代入感，美中不足看不出是抗日战争，所有的演员都是过得太好了的现代感，即使已经努力把脸抹黑了；章子怡，好好做演员吧，哪天想明白到底要表达什么，拥有了导演思维，再说吧。
章子怡给了最大的惊喜。一开始会觉得诗这个意象对于这个故事来说像是浮在表面雕花，中间一些部分也有些过于煽情，但结尾父母念诗，父母子女的情感、个人理想、民族责任直至生死思考，却成了令人震撼的升华。章子怡的部分应该放在最后一个，之后接的徐峥的故事太弱了，除了讲清楚了一个投机分子的故事之外没有任何余韵。最后，章子怡单元，唯一好好刻画了母亲，也是唯一描写了女儿传承。虽然说这是“父辈”，天然的排除了女性，但我们不应该遗失女性表达。
知道本片很可能是最后一部有点想从肖恩康纳利开始重温了
据说这部邦德大结局里暗含了许多向过去六十年邦德系列的致敬片段，我是一点也没看出来，只觉得007系列一如既往地眼花撩乱，香车美人，刀光剑影，依旧心疼那些被刮被蹭被翻车的豪车。曲终人散，不死的邦德也终于落下了帷幕，虽然不是邦德迷，但也隐隐感觉到仿佛一个时代结束了。
还有，每一位小演员的演技都好棒，也希望李雪健老师身体健康。
