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.
剧情立意挺好 当电信诈骗宣传片足够了 但你不扯我国会死？
韩国一切乱的因素不是东北就是朝鲜，你这让人恶心的不行啊。电信诈骗也来政治考量？

就题材来说，其实本应该再多一星，很遗憾在处理细节方面有缺憾，放在东南亚多好。电信诈骗真成了国际犯罪，千刀万剐那些犯罪分子都不解恨。就像最后新闻发布会金熙元说的：奇怪的电话不接，提钱就挂电话。做到这些，才是管住钱袋子的最有效办法。
这把电信诈骗团伙描述得太美好了一些，现实哪有那么多活口
可以说是很无聊了，韩国犯罪片看多了真的没什么意思。
动画和真人接合割裂感挺强，好久未见金凯瑞，喜剧形象依然很稳
剧情打戏都很乏味，漏洞一堆。支撑我看下去的动力就是想看看棒子怎么丑化中国，评论里还有在舔韩国的也是给我整无语了。
韩国版《巨额来电》，反电信诈骗在哪里应该被赶尽杀绝，不知道欧美国家的套路是否有什么区别，有点好奇。
其实这个故事还是可以的。电话诈骗真的是防不胜防，唯一想躲避就是第一时间挂断，不然他们总是有方法让你落入陷阱。PS：金武烈的戏路还是挺宽的。pps：最近一周看了未生三子的不同作品，十年过去大家都成了各自剧集里的男一号。不管作品好不好，大家都是成长了，未生已经长大续集早就在各自的人生上演。
白皮猪即将灭绝，有请索尼哥闪亮登场，尼哥尼妹不可怕，可怕的是坦克形的尼妹啊！索尼哥超进化，黄金索尼哥。简直捅了刺猬窝了，一只不够再来一只，两只不够在来第三只。可以无限集拍下去了
网络高清版资源 剧情不够人数来凑 再加点冒险和电影梗 两个小时太长 剧情又太低幼 连音乐和舞蹈都没有了
上一部看完是完全的没印象，希望金凯瑞再续一部吧，每部都有他才是亮点所在，其他的都很一般。
现实题材，电影情节和设定基本能自圆其说，反派把“变态”很好表现出来，节奏和画面紧张刺激，问题是，把沈阳拍成西安真的很业余。
电诈真的毫无人性可言，太恐怖了，电影还是阔以的，不错。
看这部电影主要是为了看我们可爱的索尼克，什么剧情啥的就不要有所期待了。这部我看多了一个红色和黄色两个尾巴的全新角色，还是比较新鲜的。反派依然还是那么凄惨
最后警察发布会讲得挺好的：提到钱就挂电话，但被骗不是你们的错，我们会对诈骗打击到底。
超级赛亚人vs反浩克万磁王，别忘了落地一定是钢铁侠pose
剧本真实性先放一边，对中国的bbc滤镜更是无语。韩国警察跨境来中国抓人还当自己是领导？！真是恶心死了。
索尼克一个人在家狂嗨的时候，狠狠本人了哈哈哈哈。
