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.
…… 这是在干嘛搞粗暴legalize sex worker政治campaign？太愚蠢了，对性、性高潮和性工作、人的关系、家庭对人格的塑造的探讨都太他妈愚蠢了…… 除了男主角实在是秀色可餐不知道浪费一个多小时观了个什么…… 再也无法参考任何豆瓣评分
笑不出，很多地方没共鸣，会觉得比起现实，也太像糖果了…感觉是一个温和化了100倍而且故意搞错重点的恐怖片。但即便如此，也不想太差评，比空白好。
成长的叛逆，终会和解的，华人形象难得的高光。
无需和Leo Grand做爱都能感受到他是calming presence，好在电影没有过分美化这段“雇佣”关系否则仅成了性转版的《风月俏佳人》。在表达“无需为欲望羞耻”和“悦纳自己身体”的诉求上有些流于表面，但Emma的最后一脱着实有力量。
3.5并没有迪士尼套路片的感觉了，比起去年的夏日友晴天，没有那么普通了，但是拿这个电影和寻梦环游记，心灵奇旅之类的比较，显然是太过了，一个优秀动画片，用童话故事去映射一些东西，女性电影(我个人也从这个视角深刻理解到了饭圈文化的形成原因)，勉强达到四星水准，因为最近看了印象深刻的雄狮少年，不得不拿他们做类比，单论世界的动画电影，抛去已经发展出一套自己的多样体系的日本动画，美国也从来不缺迪士尼和皮克斯式的优秀动画电影，但永远停留在动画片是给小孩看的这个地方，反观近些年的国产3D动画电影从大圣归来到哪吒到白蛇再到雄狮少年，已经发展出了一套属于我们的现实主义动画电影，脱离了电影是给小孩子看的这个固化思想，并且渐渐成为主流，所以说，我想对雄狮少年说的是，情节设计上已经足够优秀了，又何必要去讨好他们呢？
还是比较传统的故事，长辈相对是保守的，孩子是相对叛逆自由的。但现在的长辈曾经也是孩子，现在的孩子以后也是长辈。而本片让人印象最深的，莫过于妈妈了，她同时兼具了这两个身份，当最后美玲在竹林里安慰妈妈的时候，真是很感动啊
好可爱好可爱！！！真的非常治愈，“你走得越远，我就越骄傲”，电影演出了那个年代的青春与美好，情感细腻，有亲情，有友情，有热泪，还有勇敢的选择，看的很想要落泪。
太好看了吧，有青春期的躁动，有和父母的摩擦，有母女的相处，更有做自己的青春期感悟，这么多命题完美的融合到了一起，影院上映再去刷一波
太棒太棒了！讲亲子关系讲得这么通俗易懂，又感人至深！每个人都会或多或少感到共鸣😭皮克斯不愧是你！
太像青春期的自己，東方式的教育是父母總是過度保護自己的孩子。你希望達到他們的要求，做一個perfect child。對於一些不符合他們期望的個性，感到抗拒和害怕。需要花很長一段時間來磨合，接納自己的不完美。片中兩代母女皆有此問題the far you will go，the prouder I will be。導演父母和美術總監都是華裔，早在bao就有合作。看紀錄片此次核心團隊都是女性。真是太棒了！Abby太像渡邊直美了！
Orgasm这个事…罗宾逊太太如果一开始找个富有经验的同性第一次就通关了……里奥服务精神五星，资本主义世界的好在于钱能买到圣人，各种意义上的。
影片的立意很不错啊，把女性成长与变成红熊猫进行并置，充满了想象力的比喻。画面呈现的效果也很不错，红熊猫看起来好可爱啊。结局设置的即符合当下美国主流社会舆论，又不至于让人非常尴尬。片中呈现的中国文化有点异化，不过也这正是华裔所接受的中国文化，合情合理，就像这边的中餐一样。
你永远不知道你爸妈有多野
真好，是那种可以看到眼眶湿润的好片子。虽然出于纯粹的女性视角，对于男性角色的刻画有些落入另一层理想主义的“窠臼”，但却依旧塑造出了一对丰满充盈且极具共情的老少cp形象。两个套用虚假身份的陌生人，在某些难以启齿的时刻，却或多或少地展现出某种真实，这是人性的幽暗神秘以及有趣的地方。Exploring each other，我喜欢这个短语。同时，在有限的空间内，依旧展示出了精妙的调度和叙事上的层次感，并没有什么舞台感，且文本力度极强。我就试问谁看完不想跟Leo Grande纠缠大战三天三夜！片子四星推荐，艾玛婶值得十颗星！这个片子不杀进今年颁奖季我是真的会生气OK？
刻板印象严重。既然已经是2022年了，就不要拿上一代的父母来做文章了吧？
本电影专门做给谷爱ling，做给我，做给所有的华人看到……
小熊猫还是很萌的，故事依然很俗套，刻板印象不少。
还是要感谢皮克斯在心情不好的一天作了陪伴，美美在仪式中顿悟了熊猫是自己一部分的时候有一丝小感动，有些笑位也是很好笑的。但对比皮克斯以往的水准不算特别高。

讲东亚母女关系确实讲得又好笑又切到了痛处。
