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.

说真的，如果你认真看完了的话，你绝对会被他感动到的
也是好久没看这种温情片了，有加分。
养宠人看不得。电影开始荒凉的末日感和歌曲American pie一下子击中了我，太喜欢这部电影的气质了。除了回忆，全片唯一出现其他人类的场景，是他们在追杀主角，并且全程在暗处，没有露脸。所以末日之中能信任的唯机器人与狗。希望能出一个mini剧。
《濒死男子造出机器人只为照顾狗，机器人在制作者死后发现自己核心位置竟是开罐器》
表面上它讲的是，在世界末日，一个老geek感觉自己命不久矣，于是造了一个机器人保护他的狗。但实际上它说的是，人类究竟有多渴望爱——这高温、辐射、满目疮痍的世界，正如我们总是在被亏欠、背叛和怀疑的一生，但即使如此，我们仍然渴望爱和信任，如飞蛾扑火，至死不渝。
事实是，平淡的故事也可以波澜壮阔，与其希望观众把自己无限代入主视角，不如想想如何把主视角感知的波澜壮阔用镜头叙述表现出来。
本广州人已被燃昏头脑，其中的瑕疵也拦不住我怒打五星了！
公路片的主线剧情都不会太过复杂，但如果故事讲得巧、演员表现好，则可以撑起丰富的内核。《芬奇》可以看做是同样是汤姆·汉克斯独自秀演技的《荒岛余生》的B面。在片中可以看到许多公路片前辈的影子，诸如《艾利之书》、《史崔特先生的故事》、《我是传奇》及科幻钜作《人工智能》。末世背景只是个外壳（亦或是影射元宇宙与人际孤岛并存的时代），故事的核心则是关于责任、成长、信任、爱与传承。工程师与机器人拥抱，似乎感受到了对方的心跳（最后看来是开罐器，当真是个温柔细心的理工男）；狗子捡回了球交给机器人，达成了信任与传承的契约。感情不需要言语上诺言与书面上的协议，他只需要两个人：一个能够信任的人，一个愿意理解的人。生活中最大的幸福，是坚信有人爱着你。爱，即是希望（这个很“阿甘正传”）。
歌感觉不错！广州那破破烂烂的感觉也非常广州！剧情真的是不喜欢，虚无缥缈的打鸡血一点不现实。
末日背景公路片，以细致入微的情感、沉着内敛的气韵打动人心，教会机器如何以人的情感去体会爱、友谊、生命的美好以及存在的意义。内核不算出色甚至主题称得上老套，但在如今这个浮躁的时代能够花费大量篇幅勾勒人物内心、营造浓烈深沉的人文感实属不易。携手走过带有美好祝祷的金门大桥，朝着希望之光前行。
周星驰电影即视感强烈。一些搞笑桥段真的尬。两个主要女性角色基本工具人。男主父亲瘫痪太套路。最后一跃真的燃！一句话总结：国产动画技术上没啥大问题，问题还在剧本欠打磨。
国漫精进到这个水平了，太棒了！！！五星！音乐也是！
疫情隔离期间看这部电影，更会唤起内心对生活的向往吧。
要有爱和光啊～～～～～～
白人不是因为你眼睛小嘲讽你，是因为讨厌你。可以因为它丑打低分，又扯到rh，实属过于敏感了，又敏感又自卑。你们知道外网怎么嘲讽中国人敏感吗？有条件的去看看。你们既然这么在乎外国人的看法，为什么不改改这个整天“rh”的毛病呢？🤣🤣
画质不错，比《白蛇缘起》强，+4分；这部动画片越来越像美国好莱坞、迪士尼、皮克斯的（电影）动画+1分（“你终于变成你最讨厌的人”），再+1分给片尾曲。然而，从意识形态的角度看，要-1分。这部动画中反映了一些中国的社会问题：城乡二元结构对立，阶（级）层贫富差距，农民工，弱势群体维权，留守儿童等。如果直白地表达这些问题，这部动画就无从过审。因此，它通过编织一个“梦”来变相解决（掩盖）了这些问题。美国能出现《神探亨特》这样的电影，说明它的治安根本不好；那么目前《雄狮少年》的出现，只能说明中国没能解决这些问题。它所要励志的，正是没能解决也无法解决的。至于人物长相如何“辱华”，抱歉真是没看出来，非得把人物眼睛做得像日本动漫人物那么大才叫不辱华吗？而且这动画又不是每个人物都长那样的眼睛。
有望成为超越哪吒的爆款国漫
PS.第一次在深圳·新南国·CGS中国巨幕厅观影，爽翻，3A大片必选
非常感动留守儿童的背景设定，执行得也很自然，结尾并没有强行全部HE、命运改变，主角仍到了上海打工，但心有猛虎，看不见的东西已经改变了。希望看到更多关注弱势群体却又不止于卖惨说教的好故事
