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.

Creepy……美女们Spare me all movies featuring eyes pls.
唯一美中不足的是故事有点高开低走，后头有些太“教科书”了，很期待跟前作的互动，但是也仅仅出现在开头，也许后头拍TV的话会多少展开一些。
依靠心灵的团结，才是真正的魔法。最后彩蛋陆马的马蹄其实也有魔法，很有爱~
暑假亲子合家欢电影，小马宝莉是女孩们的最爱，玩具杂志动画，这部电影主题是友谊和爱，还是非常正能量的，里面的歌曲也很好听，适合孩子观看
很有趣，很推荐小朋友们观看，是一部充满童心的电影
主角团有着完全随机的三观，尽管大家都不是很道德，但还是维持着表面上良好的亲子关系和迷之友谊。大概是小马宝莉版的encanto，讲述了没有魔法的人不知为何尽心尽力帮有魔法的人找回魔法，主要区别是演出和编曲差了好几个档次。这年头子供向娱乐动画电影都这么难看了T-T
3.5颗星；带小侄子去看的一部动画片，还蛮有意思的，故事情节虽然对于我们这种大人而言，看到开头就知道结尾了，但对小朋友来说，还是挺有意义的。关键确实里面的高光角色基本都是女性，这点还让我蛮喜欢的。尤其是对于我这种没看过这部动画片的人，故事情节介绍的也挺完整~
带小朋友看的 角色都可可爱爱 消除偏见友好相处的立意很棒 配乐也很赞 结尾处小朋友说妈妈我感动得都想哭了
这信息量也太少了，过于子供，btw G4 fetish 滚啊
7.5/10.
很精彩！四位主演都好棒哦！这种年轻男女对欲望的好奇与都市道德伦理的暧昧就让人非常眼前一亮！讲真，就非常欣赏年轻的演员们去开拓自己的角色尺度。
性欲的不满足，使女主步入陷阱；
值得推荐的是很多情节使用歌曲方式来讲述，更适合小朋友们，而且结局也是非常的完美，选择相信友谊选择相信爱。
Friendship is literally magic！
很好看，3D的小马毛茸茸的看起来非常可爱，毛发制作也很美，也喜欢电影里的歌曲
小马宝莉非常好看，很适合带孩子一起观看。画质非常漂亮，色彩斑斓，情节吸引人，配音清晰，音乐好听，孩子特别爱看，还想再看一次，大人也很容易看进去，之前没看过小马宝莉动画片的也不影响观看，教育意义也有，不论什么种族，都可以做朋友，大家的真心可以换回魔法。
2021.09.25 看预告片的时候发现自己比预想中更容易接受，与G4相比风格变了很多，之间的衔接很棒，也算是有了一个交代吧。不知道是否因为时间限制导致故事结束得有些草率，不过问题不大。结尾有G4的味道，也让我落泪了……很期待他们之后的故事。
我多想在这个晴空暖阳下，陪你看花开倾城，陪你听潮起潮落，陪你欢喜，陪你微笑，就这样生生世世，尘埃落定
之前没有看过这个，所以不了解一些前提，但是看这个，整体是连贯的，没有缺少啥的感觉，情节可谓是一波三折，每次以为终于要好了，最终又出现波折，挺耐人寻思的！
