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.
很适合跟小朋友或者合家欢的爆米花片 不过这个开头 动物园里的动物都开始卷 多少有点…不过成长过后 又可爱又嘴贱的考拉谁不喜欢呢
如果这个片类比一个剧本杀，就是作者花里胡哨搞了一大堆，你推理了5个小时之后，发现凶手只是拿刀捅了对方，刀还在凶手口袋里搜出来的，然后就开始进入情感环节——我一个很喜欢神奇动物的，来看首映的人建议，别看了，节约生命。
你怎么都无法相信裘德洛是拥有pure heart的人，太失败了，我不接受他的邓布利多。整个剧情就是一边看一边满脑子问号。然而，这种魔法场面的大制作也没什么别的可看，三颗星全靠无对手。我女儿看完说：这哪里是邓布利多的秘密，明明是阿不福思的秘密。
剧情我就不写了，全靠奇怪的片名和老戏骨海报骗得人
剧情真的太平太傻了，越往后越无聊，节奏太糟糕了。
又要韓朝又要教育舞弊，想包含的太多，反而沖淡了主線的師生情，把數學融入音樂是唯一有意思的地方
从邓布利多的视角看，这真是一个悲伤的故事… 故事稀烂但视效和美术还是很棒的。
近几年韩国电影的内核就是统一
看爱情故事，那很可以
这个系列完全没想清楚要拍什么，剧情乱得像过家家。。。只能全程感叹Callum好帅
导演连简单的调度都搞不好，干脆就多摆几个摄影机，想通过后期剪辑狂切镜位来掩盖这一点。滥用剪辑在前半部分尤为突出，看得令人心烦。
中规中矩的韩式男性意识流作品。另外从演技方面，感觉崔岷植大叔带不动这些小子们啊喂。
·你们魔法世界的竞选制度是不是太草率了。
ps：数学是我最讨厌的科目，以前上初中的时候数学每次都只考十几分或者二十几分（二哈）……同时物理、化学也是我的噩梦 ，俺是理科渣…
小朋友看會比較喜歡, 標準可愛溫馨帶教育意義的卡通
韩国贵族学校就如《天空之境》一样，卷，很现实残酷吧。
腦中反覆迴盪著碧濤那句「二次曲線很美麗的」
治愈系，为“危险动物”正名的一部影片，危险不代表邪恶，不应因为人类恐惧而污名化他们。也是那句老话，人不可貌相。丑陋又何妨。其中一个比较有意思的角色是动物管理员父子，在父亲解释了他之前的猎杀都是吹牛的之后，小朋友从一个“法西斯”变得开始温柔善良同理了，也可爱了起来，体现出真相的重要性，以及虚荣的谎言的危害。
三星半。第三幕真感动，第一次看到片名时还以为是奇幻片其实是剧情片
麦一出场还是拔叔那味儿 上部德普一出场就是格林德沃
