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.
奇葩剧情，老婆都差点被他强奸了，还想让他带自己妻女走
主要是奔着韩孝周去的，有一点意外惊喜吧，有十年前加勒比海盗3的即视感，哈哈，爆米花电影大结局也不错
动作戏很棒啊，看悍刀行看瞎了眼，很需要这种动作戏洗洗眼睛；意境也不错啊；然而我最想知道的，这个男主难道不是张震么？盲开的这部网大，一看男主我就去搜了下，有点小激动，然而张震没演这个... 我还以为墨镜王带着张震混网大了呢....
想刀一个人的眼神是藏不住的，剧情有点迷，大卫的命运多舛，被好友背叛，妻女的不理解，陆谦演的很不错“好兄弟”形象深入人心，“你妈的，又捅这里”反派总是死于话多哈哈哈哈
还有团长亲上男主时，那些个海盗，觉得黄金一点也不香了，哈哈。
10分阵容 5毛特效 3流演技
当我不想带脑子的时候 去看这种电影挺好的 起码还算好玩有劲 网飞的制作还是有水准的 烂也烂的有特点
只要有李光洙和韩孝周的，不用说！满分！亚洲王子buff加持！哈哈哈哈哈哈，属实Running Man番外篇本色出演了。
太过注重表面的喜剧效果，不算是好的喜剧，真的笑不出来。三个主演，二个都喜欢，确搞成这样
快别拿它是韩国版的《加勒比海盗》说事了，虽然都是打怪寻宝，但海盗里的思路是不足的，看的过程中会有些跳跃。
良心制作，虽然没有那些大制作的大场面，但导演细腻的情感和镜头细节很让我感同身受。忽然感觉这部片子更像剪辑人的职业生涯，林大卫的身不由己和为爱隐忍在平衡“个人小家庭生存”和“江湖侠义”之间表现得淋漓尽致，虽然是一部江湖武侠片，却看出了导演心中的大爱与无私。也间接体现了侠者的伟大。人生中我们难免为了那一刻的生存而心声邪念，这可能就是所有善良人的无奈和无助吧！你困难的时候，好像很少有人真的能帮到你，随之而来的是各种骗局接踵而至，当你变好时，你发现这完全是另一个世界，只是一时迷失了心而已。正如那句话所说，当你不好的时候，你身边会有很多坏人，当你变好后，你发现你身边全是好人。这既是一种无奈，也是一种磨练，让我们在磨练中成长，在磨练中学会真正的大爱与侠义
还有光洙，如果你真的想摆脱RM的综艺形象，你就别再演这种角色了。真的，每一个动作我都以为你在拍RM……
跟孙艺珍比，气场实在压不住……不过了解了荒野求生猪胃的作用！
前三分之一，全员演技浮夸，剧情无趣。中半开始，李光洙独角搞笑戏份。韩孝珠再美，也架不住这么浮夸的角色。
很用心的一部电影。近几年这类的影片真的很少了。
难得中途弃的电影，只想说喜剧不是谁都可以演好的，比起正剧、悲剧，喜剧真的难上不少，这剧尤其男主搞笑实在太尬了。
着实一般 剪辑非常是个问题 吴世勋演技非常尬 需要继续努力
李光洙确实搞笑担当啊！
虽然是网大 但可以看出制作还是不错的 西部武侠片的风格 整体影片音乐还是挺不错的 打斗戏也挺精彩的（虽然人不多）演员演技也是没得问题的
大漠黄沙，很有那种西北武侠世界的感觉，打斗场景很真实。不过有些剧情很想以前看过的古装电视剧里的套路，但是比现在那种古装电视剧好看多了。
