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.
跟之前看的《女高怪谈重启：母校》有异曲同工之烂，剪辑依然混乱，是不是韩国现在恐怖片都爱这样剪辑？除了有鬼之外，完全看不出来有什么亮点，看在有鬼的份上，给多一星...
还以为是2000年代的韩国恐怖片呢，挺吓人。
以为是纪录片，来看塔怎么建成的，谁知道看了个埃菲尔的浪漫野史……爱情故事有些老套，可是男女主的眼睛真的太很会说话，公开场合没有台词，却依然勾魂摄魄，那场舞会跳得简直比滚床单还要性感，而且青年和中年的处理和把握都非常好，男主在马车上抬头就泪目的镜头真是难受了。
太暗了看的老费眼了ಥ_ಥ所以妹妹最后也进了大楼？
很平庸，书应该带点叙诡成分，类似《杀戮之病》，电影真的很难好看。
我觉得还是蛮有意思的 很多零碎的线索拼凑在一起还原了事情的真相 3万从老大到店员到外遇男到小姐到主角 另一边秀吉的线也和主角在一起 现实中都死去不能在一起 那么在小说里面他们就在一起吧
单纯的鬼片，没有其他韩国恐怖片映射社会现实的深度，没意思。。。有啥看不懂的，无聊，好古老的剧情。。。包括时间线重叠，已死不知道自己死，吓人方式和剧情，起码是20年前的老模式
没看太看懂，所以最后是主角自己被困在了里面是吧
比预想的要好不少，这分偏低了吧。虽然影片里牵扯到鬼门的时间和空间，但还是比较容易看懂的，可以分为4个时间段：1990之前--1990年，尹小妹被父亲弄晕后，误以为杀死女儿，活人封在墙内，成为缚地灵，附身管理员制造杀人大案；1996年，3个大学生进入鬼门制作视频，死于楼内；1998年左右，拆楼工人发现尹小妹尸体，男主妈妈驱灵失败被杀；2002年，男主进入大楼再次驱灵，遇到尹小妹和3个大学生，最后也没出去。影片成功制造除了恐怖氛围，指数还是不低的，虽然有些瑕疵，但整体质量可以，推荐观看！我给4星7分！
感觉最后男主并没有出去，而是也死在了那座楼里！！！
都好像以前港片的鬼！
有点类似于《墓地邂逅》。叙事拉跨逻辑不清，但比《昆池岩》强得多。
他们都全部死了，剧中的角色。最后又一个循环！哈哈。
不同的时间线遇见相同的鬼，本身的叙事设定相比其他恐怖片好不少，但效果没有发挥到极致
不是所有乌漆麻黑都能制造恐怖氛围！看都看不清，吓个鬼啊！并且拍得乱七八糟！多来点怪奇宅这样的吧！
男主太丑了 当纪录片看都受不了这个男主（2022/3/10周四晚）
这栋修道院，注定会成为一处人间地狱，不断吞噬着一个又一个的灵。
韩国版墓地邂逅？就这还想拍2？乌漆麻黑，啥也看不了，这美版的照超也比这好看吧？
译作《埃菲尔》更好，因为基本跟铁塔没什么大关系。女主的个人气质很重，很难将其置于19世纪的想象中。终于理解了Robert Delaunay的画里铁塔为何总是红色，那是我们未曾见过的旧日光景。
以为是纪录片，来看塔怎么建成的，谁知道看了个埃菲尔的浪漫野史……爱情故事有些老套，可是男女主的眼睛真的太很会说话，公开场合没有台词，却依然勾魂摄魄，那场舞会跳得简直比滚床单还要性感，而且青年和中年的处理和把握都非常好，男主在马车上抬头就泪目的镜头真是难受了。
