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.
今日大事。Matt简直就是Joey本人啊，时装秀那里笑死。
最终可以说是一个众人都得到了幸福的世界吧，好不好纯属见仁见智。大人世界的圆满可能不是一直在一起，而是只需要“我喜欢过你”“我也喜欢过你”就够了。
仿佛被夺走童贞般号啕大哭，是失去亲情、爱情之后，人生第三次如此哭泣，那这次失去的是什么呢？
不管是往前推亿万年，还是往后推亿万年， Friends都依旧是地球文明能够诞生出的最棒的果实之一。请务必都一定一定要长命百岁。💧💧💧💧💧💧
完全没有neta的欲望。庵野秀明25年前就疯了，现在更是疯到了第九层。
该讲清楚的尽力讲清楚了，人物的补完都完整了。当然还是有没讲明白的地方，但已经很好了。
不搞续集搞访谈是对的，看得又哭又笑，这么多年Pheobe和Ross真的没什么变化也很神奇
西历2021年8月13日，不管怎样，谢谢庵野监督，谢谢大家。我有好好地在成长，做一个靠谱的大人呢~虽然私心也想看高仿绫波丽插两个小时秧，但是，学会告别，也是一种成长吧。
鸡皮疙瘩一身接着一身，眼泪像不属于我一样乱涌，好好，就好好。最狂热、刷了一遍又一遍的那个夏天，进入大学回归学业生活后有天看到幕后他们不合和不聚的传闻挺难受的，特辑出现前还有过不少担忧都不太敢看，没想到这么感动。Ross和Rachael竟然这么真我哦哦哦哦了。
不如好好拍一集 哪怕只拍个短短20多分钟也好 现在戏外的这种重聚好像在提醒我们 戏里那些友情都是假的
BTW有没人像我一样由于很喜欢还留了几季没有看完？
满分。非“补完”的结尾补完了作品本身，补完了观众的期待。所有人都在期待真嗣的成长，期待他直面一切。他最终也做到了。
等真嗣二十多年了，終於他長大了，那為何我悵然若失
对某些剧迷而言，《老友记》于他们可能有几年、十几年甚至二十几年的情怀，但对我来说却只有一年左右的情感，毕竟去年六月初我才终于十季一集不落地追看完这部有235集的情景喜剧。—— 看了删减版又去补了完整版，对比之下发现的几处删减：1. 世界粉丝采访段落，韩国的BTS、德国，里卡多：“我是一名同性恋者，想拥有詹妮弗·安妮斯顿的发型，你就能想像有时候，我有多么孤单。”（墨西哥，LIZ：……就像钱德勒一样，我也找到我的莫妮卡。→ 这个应该是Les吧？可能因为没有明示，所以得以被保留？）；2. Lady Gaga与丽莎·库卓一起弹唱《Smelly Cat Medley》的段落；3. Justin Bieber的「卫星土豆装」走秀；……
每一帧都做到了最完美。
年度最佳！看到最后泪奔~脱离了虐心的世界观角力，庵野秀明为我们展现了他近乎纯粹不含任何杂质的精神世界，致敬每一个曾经内心困苦艰难寻不到出路的人，提醒着你们在未来的某一刻，也有人，在怀揣广阔的爱意等着你们。痞子超五星完成任务！最近可能会循环1000遍"one last kiss"。“永别了，所有的evangelion。”
通篇充斥对所谓“母性”、牺牲、活在当下、抹杀个性的无限歌颂。没有痛苦与挣扎，只剩欢欣如玩闹般的暴力，人物轻薄如纸，仿佛忘却了自己是谁。人难道不该自我拯救，为啥要废柴来拯救？
哄睡俩娃，和老公爬起来，溜出卧室，就着深夜烧烤，看完这个重聚。岁月如飞刀啊。啥不说了，开启第N次老友记剧集重播。
直到现在还是喜欢时不时看《Friends》，永远记得Monica安慰Rachel的那句话：“Welcome to the real world. It sucks. You are gonna love it.”
