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.
但渐渐地，才发现他们的人生，都是被一段段爱情所串起来，甚至被拯救。
延续剧一贯的慢悠悠但多了些起伏桥段。人物多且内容碎，作为剧的周边是可以的。单独作为一部电影看就支撑不起来。几个小反差小高潮的设置，不出奇，感觉更像传统话剧。不过到是符合那个年代的。巴罗的戏份删到让人在想，剩下出现的意义是什么。不过也能猜到，他应该和男演员有了romance 。
看这个之前看了十五分钟的我要我们在一起，太尬了
唐顿永不结束！只要Crawley一家有人在，唐顿就永不结束！
剧情紧凑，维持着系列水准。
大概是那份克制和尊重 无论多么狗血俗套的剧情他都能克制而温情的展现出一个人物一群人物之间的深层情感 让你感觉无论楼上楼下都有着自己的位置 自己的艰难 自己的光芒 甚至散发出一丝丝不真实的美好气息
以一场婚礼开始，一场葬礼结束，还有一个新生命，确实是new era，这一部比上一部好多了，但是lady Mary感觉老了好多啊，跟小茶杯的这一段有点可惜，根本没有火花！最后巴罗真的跟那个演员走了啊，感觉不会有好结局诶。
[Stop that noise. I can't hear myself die.]
感觉更像是一部主线无关的番外，虽然唐顿跟随世界迎来了新的时代，但还是希望能继续保持优雅平和的气质，而不是在纷纷乱乱的新世界中丧失自己的步调。
无论如何，不要放弃写作。我们活着，就是在不断接受一些意料之外的事。
有了六季剧和5个圣诞特别篇+一部大电影的铺垫看此片沉浸其中，所有熟悉的人物都那么生动，由于2019年看第一部电影的时候没看过剧所以观感大打折扣（看完剧后又再次看了第一部 精彩！观感提升不少），现在看了剧再看第二部大电影且在电影院看到熟悉的人物和听到熟悉的旋律（配乐）尤为感动。电影的镜头感觉有问题 大部分段落人物（脸面、皮肤）看着发黄（应该是白），如果是加了滤镜导致那真是画蛇添足另外电影看着的时候感觉在倍速 但其实没有倍速 不知道片方是不是把片子调高一倍还是只有我一个人觉得。托马斯这集戏份本来就少得可怜但还把他戏份删了一半（6分钟同志戏）。老夫人（不剧透）看到片尾的时候落了眼泪（哭）（ps：看的普通大银幕[遮幅]激光厅 影城真良心… 亮度很高 多次从室内（暗）切室外明亮的景时都会闪我眼睛一下）
在第一部电影版时，就说过是多年来终于又有一部像《欲望都市》一样从小银幕走上大银幕拍续集，大规模上映票房大收的作品了，所以果然很快就开始第二部续集电影版，第一部是英王光临，第二部是代表着新时代电影明星取景，果然都很吸引，尤其时代变迁是《唐顿庄园》不变的主题，依然做得很好
服饰摄影都很赞，英国人冷静克制的感情演绎的很好。跟叔叔在国贸看的。
老粉也只能耐着性子看完，单从电影的角度来看也平平无奇
始于婚礼，终于葬礼，全员幸福，老太太仙去。
开开心心，每个人都瘦了，有几个差点瘦到认不出了
结局很圆满，所有角色都有了更好的归属。虽然第一部结局已经非常圆满，但是续集则做了更为圆满的结局，让每个角色都心想事成，让每对有情人都终成眷属。我认为不会有第三部电影版了，第二部的结局已经设计得非常圆满了，如果再有第三部恐怕就烂尾了。
真不是很懂为啥要一直拍到大家长去世，老太太早早都交代媳妇儿“这以后就是你的屯儿”了，何必拍到这么扎实。但话说回来，除了最后老太的部分，全片没太有亮点，按照这细水长流的份儿，可以拍到唐顿进入21世纪，就看没有大表姐大家还看不。另一个滑点我可能上部电影就说了：最大受益人Tom真是活活靠婚姻三连跳改变阶级，从性别换位来说好像也可以理解成一种进步。至于其他，服化道依旧在线，Anna贵族装扮真的很贵族，正印了那句人靠衣装
始于颜值，终于老太太的演技，其余都不剩下什么了~
Moseley每次出现都是我的快乐源泉～求婚那里又好笑又好哭
