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.
不喜欢最后结尾的搞基，相别两宽应该更美好，毕竟前面的主题都是寻找真实的自己。
91分，镜头拉回，结束即可。后面有点《返老还童》，不过我还是看哭了。
一只狼崽和一只走失的幼狮在加拿大荒野的中心被一个女孩救出，他们的友谊将永远改变他们的生活。
满足了我对直男被掰弯的幻想；小受演技好棒 被抛下后独自走回家那段从灯光到风到场景 绝了
这个小故事不需要俩小时来讲吧？看得不明不白的。
周末和fly一起看。景色很美，女主有一座私人小岛。狼和狮子的故事就像童话。故事情节一般般。
后半部分很精彩。sara美得如梦如幻，如痴如醉
能把动物电影拍得这么难看也是没谁了！全靠风景和动物撑着！人物一个比一个傻！
-你快乐吗
崩溃，泄欲，思考，回归。
在wb上的资源看的。第一次kiss的BGM让我想起在bkk的变装皇后也是表演的这首歌，分别也是。至少看完对这个群体有了新的认识。
如果電影結束在警察打電話回家落淚，把衣服送給莎拉分別就結束的話，我會覺得這是一部不色情、不狗血、沒有不切實際的浪漫，非常真實完美的電影。可是最後竟然還是發展出了結尾的那一啪。不過電影中也幾次藉由其他人物或對白暗示警察是雙性戀，也可能早就知道莎拉的本體。如果真是這樣的話這個結尾也算合情合理。不然不動手打人真的就是最大的溫柔了😅

纠结到最后还是给了四星，愿我们都有属于自己的一片天地，勇敢前行，面对真实的自我。 4.0
故事一般，摄影不错。站台送别那段有点苦涩的甜，因为爱，原谅他的鲁莽，也是因为他的鲁莽，被迫告别“病态”的家乡。
烂！Mozart Dreamer 和风景各得一星

人性正在磨灭狮子的兽性，但有一个没有出现的镜头就是本来听到了枪声可是狮子却没事，这里在我看来是马戏团的人开枪吓走了狮子吸引了警察的注意，但是影片却并没有过多的解释，有的只有团长带他儿子走时说的，我会想其他办法的！
男主莫名的魅力。粗矿又细腻，但是网恋骗感情在我脑子里挥之不去。
