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.
蛇蛇太可爱了！考拉最后加入他们逃亡的大家庭真是意想不到。期待以后去澳洲的旅行呀
这一二三可真是一个味，啥区别没有。平平淡淡，不痛不痒。第三部故事性，还相对有些观赏性！关于霍格沃兹的故事，无穷无尽……
动物们都很可爱，人类脸型大同小异；
·以前的巫师打架怎么这么花哨，又是书又是雷雨又是把人封墙里。怎么到了哈利波特时代就只会除人武器（）
“家人”永远是感动的点。
爬虫版马达加斯加，你要嘛就荒诞到搞笑，你要嘛就搞笑带点信息，又要荒诞又要大道理就显得很表面很蠢，我知道你想说人类就只会珍爱可爱的动物，不可爱的就暴力对待，但说真的到底哪里的动物训练员看到考拉要抱抱会一脚往肚子踢去？？哪里的动物园每早拿木棍敲玻璃让动物醒？？会容许顾客往蝎子喷东西？哪里的人民那么痛恨动物到看到考拉，第一时间不是报警，而是一群人追杀他？？甚至铺布在爬虫群上然后乱棍殴打？？考拉的戏份说真的根本可有可无，打从一开始就根本没有带他走的必要啊啊？他晕了就让他晕在那不就好了？
导演连简单的调度都搞不好，干脆就多摆几个摄影机，想通过后期剪辑狂切镜位来掩盖这一点。滥用剪辑在前半部分尤为突出，看得令人心烦。
数学是高智商人的游戏，一个人不是培训就能提高的，特别是高难的数学
两星还是可爱的嗅嗅还有麒麟拉回来的
角度很刁钻 动物没有美和丑 都是被人定义的 这件事我要从小就教给孩子们
还有个一部关于数学奇才的日本电影。虽然两部电影风格不一样，但我更喜欢日本电影《阿基米德大战》更有利于学生建立“数学观”
不需要麒麟，需要加特林，把导演编剧制片都突突掉得了。
入场时候咖啡厅里已只剩邓一人 看了个寂寞(？)。有点长了…神奇动物在哪儿呢？别再剪了GGAD本也没有几分钟…
国外搞BL又不犯法，既然神奇动物拍不出什么名堂，既然卖点都在GGAD，老老实实就拿他俩当主角拍个系列不好吗？好歹剧情给我整明白咯，别硬要塞个神奇动物点题最后搞成个四不像…魔法世界选领导就这么儿戏，血盟在前作里说得很像回事儿似的结果莫名其妙就打破了，Credence也完全是工具人，那个卧底更是让人摸不着头脑…最后，剧情都拍成这样了，就不能找青年组那两位救个场让我圆个梦吗啊椰子？？？好吧全片唯一亮点互摸心跳…以及护树罗锅和麒麟还是蛮可爱的…
魔法片怎么拍出了国共谍战片的感觉？看到霍格沃兹学校旋律出来，还有学生在其飞天扫帚玩魁地奇的时候，我整个就是一个爆哭。故事真的不太行，好沉闷啊，特效场景世界观不错。还有绝美的爱情，好想吃格林德沃和邓布利多的饭呀。
可爱死了!!逃亡配bad guy，好喜欢那条漂亮🐍，特Aussie，好多梗，口音绝绝子
韩国电影就是这里抄一点那里学一点，拼在一起也挺好看
humans are the most terrible creatures in the world
终于等来了大卫叶兹翻车之作。让他拍了那么多部哈利波特真是便宜他了。
不是简单的数学，杂糅了人性，师生，古典乐，父子，国家，南北，女追男，贵族学校，舞弊等等，说不上很优秀，师生般的父子情算一个好点，崔岷植老了许多
