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.
不就是女性身体和心理的成长，居然弄得这么神经兮兮的，简直对不起卡夫卡。至于反传统的那一面，背离前几代的统去继承更老的统，这是文艺复兴么？
改变成长，诚实做真实独特的自己，但也关爱家人朋友！... (⁎˃ᴗ˂⁎) ♥
追星少女好闺蜜。色调我挺喜欢的，看着很舒服。做饭那一段也不错。思春期女孩的暗恋。互相扔球的游戏是不是太危险了？这个家是女人说了算，妈妈做决定，爸爸没有话语权。演唱会让女孩成为女人？母女和解。
红熊猫好可爱啊！最后大家都变成红熊猫真的看哭了，好羡慕这样的友情和后来的家庭qwq
3.有朋友（男）在全剧最喜欢爸爸，因为只有爸爸apprecaite美美的熊猫，我当然觉得他的屁股坐得不偏不倚的（嘲讽的意思），猫爸在虎妈面前还是有存在合理性的
中国元素真实不虚浮，中式家庭的氛围和各类小细节也很能引起共鸣，但故事里的一些设定带有很明显的政治正确性，就稍有点没劲。几乎和电影主人公同龄，现在也是做妈妈的年纪，开始对母女关系有了更深刻的体悟，爱着反思着。
成长，认同，好无聊。人物仿佛只是带着面具，没有灵魂，硬拗的可爱，连没有具体故事的玲娜贝儿也比不上。
妈妈的全部……不敢苟同
虽然确实因为切身体验对东亚家庭权力关系/母女关系这个小话题而哭泣了，但不可否认main topic依然是青春期自我成长。东方仪式bless/curse，赋予/剥夺，宗祠传统/新的道路，只像是给爆米花美国人做文化安利，真正的东亚人太难因此共情了（所以墨西哥人看coco也是这样吗
只要咱们避而不谈的时间足够久，能等来皮克斯替咱拍出“红水”猛兽。
艾玛汤普森把我约炮时的内心活动全演出来了。😢
通過把男妓拍得清爽無害，把高知老年白女拍得自卑渴愛來為剝削為本質的性產業罩上一層浪漫又美好的面紗，其心可誅。
It’s fine to be wild sometimes.
幸亏没有公映，不然会被别人看见哭。能变身是一件多么酷的事。
这选题绝对是99.9%人的遭遇，但这剧情也确实单薄到不是很有说服力……
现在已经不大喜欢这种借一个情欲故事来探讨亲子关系或者别的什么所谓精巧的剧本，除了有些撩人的情欲之外，其实没多大意思，因为这些探讨充满刻意的“假”，这是不真实的，并不存在这种探讨和后来的醒悟，不过是种文艺的幻想
在取材、人设和内核上都很Chinese的美国动画，把青春期的生理变化和叛逆心理与民族传统文化在现代化过程中的矛盾结合在一起作为叙事冲突，故事并不深奥，但已经是一部成功的跨文化碰撞作品。
槽点太多了…首先这是日本神社和巫女的底子最后唱pop代替念经文化傲慢什么的已经懒得说了，其次你都有这身手了还去当吉祥物么？以及4town的C位小哥还挺帅的…最后有一个彩蛋多少人看了？
守着时钟等上线，剧情前期活泼生动，对主人公13岁有点小大人的感觉拿捏也很准确，最后扣主旨的时候弱一点，略有一些拖沓，但是小熊猫实在太可爱了，表情和动作都非常到位。美美以及整个华裔社群的环境的呈现都很实在，充满了细节。/🤣看了导演访谈，好家伙，原来是导演单纯很喜欢小熊猫，觉得超可爱！想放大银幕上！然后才去构思贴合小熊猫形象的故事主题、象征意义等等。难怪小熊猫比故事出挑！
太可爱，太青春，太懂girl了。以及，这真的很东亚。
