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.
4/10 这部看起来貌似“经费不足”的《非凡公主》，并没有让人感受到“非凡”，在还没建立起来的故事中强行塞入了太多太多花里胡哨的动作戏，观感直接降为零，用粗制滥造形容一点都不为过，可以提前预定我的月度烂片TOP3了！
想给多点星吧，tmd是真的不合理啊，这也太扯了，芝麻大的王国，毛的首位，靠华人授剑法，结果送了一把刀，公主体力爆表，各种体术惊人....无聊
不是国人设计的武打动作确实差点意思
暴力血腥很有特色，不死的女主光环，缺少剧情转折。
就看了出差十五夜才看的电影，三分给光洙本色演出
愿每个姑娘都能make their own fate
大家快来看啊，迪士尼福克斯的洗脑大爽片来了，名字叫功夫公主，可惜公主没能上权游。
作为商业片非常成功了，轻松诙谐，要说有什么毛病，就是不明白那个弓箭手和冒充海浪的那个女的在剧情里有什么意义，纯花瓶的存在……
这片子图一乐看很爽呀。
65分吧，打打闹闹的商业片，韩孝周真是太漂亮了，用鼻孔看人都那么美哈哈哈，光洙负责搞笑的部分不出彩啊。
太老套 畫面也沒有很漂亮 劇情演員也很尬 一分是看在我是54的粉絲上
即使服化道再精细，特效再逼真，美帝这几十年来的青少年电影始终摆脱不了演技浮夸剧情弱智的标签
演员阵容很强大，很搞笑，故事虽然长了点，但是很好看
居然跟第一部不是同一个导演？？连人设都大差不差居然不是一个导演？？姜河那你也让他演猥琐男我真的受不了：）但是还是看第一部时候的那句评价：因为是这个男主的和这个女主。所以还是看完了。（屋里孝珠演起来真是又美又飒🥺
这个动作片！打斗有很多中国元素，挺不错的！好看！
我看应该叫神一样的公主，想怎么打就怎么打，打多少人杀多少人编剧导演说了算，咱们就图看得爽就行！
一路开挂砍瓜切菜不掉血不掉蓝，游戏可以这么玩，电影不能这么拍啊
一路打怪升级，一人灭了整个军队，这么牛咋还能被抓呢
至少四星半啊，这评分咋这么低，全程都很搞笑啊，剧情设计也很紧凑合理，无厘头展现的很好，完全无尿点，我这么爱快进的人都没倍速播放，女主也很养眼，很好的片子
反派是传教士和娜姬塔真的是惊喜了。总之只看动作戏可以给四分。
