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.
相较于SP，电影版要细腻很多，算是超出我预期吧。虽然案件让人想吐嘈，为了守护两个孩子，而毁了一个家庭。全村人竟然没有人觉得不对，15年过去也没有内疚。看久了也不觉得小花呱噪了，而是get到她的可爱，在其他人插科打诨时，小花也是认真在帮忙深山查案。南云律师的反转，在意料之中，只能说少了点惊喜，毕竟SP里面还是期待角色黑化进一步发挥的。但也不得不说，西岛叔果然不适合演坏人，演技也太有感染力了。奈奈的出现，真的是惊喜，可太想她了。虽然我吃道枝的颜，但是演技还是要加强，表情无法传达情绪，是案件的中心点，存在感还是弱了点。不过我一直喜欢这个系列，所以多给一星。
不能带脑子看，但讲真作为饭看得还算开心
真的又烦人又贱又可爱……
可以，
压成一集就差不多了，拍成电影有点撑不起来。开头惊现熊本哪次卡细。
案子本身还是经得起推敲的，尤其是真相，不是什么处心积虑、深仇大恨的桥段，反而是意外简单的无心之过，没有人是彻底的坏人，才让悲剧显得更加悲剧。我不是很理解西岛秀俊的角色，杀鸡焉用牛刀（在SP里好不容易立了反派人设，但在电影版似乎没有什么发挥的空间）。松本润每次把手从耳朵里拔出来的时候好担心带出耳屎，每次不变的套路有点审美疲劳。
大过年随意乐呵乐呵，谐音梗我的爱，最后揭晓真相，“嗯？就这？”
案子不咋地 杉咲花人设太吵了 dzjy演技不可
希望小律师还能有下一个系列，真的很不错。松本润和香川照之之间的互动，真的太有趣了。

香川照之和西岛秀俊演技还是牛的，可惜松润没能撑起来案件揭开后的情绪拔高，画面切到他这里差了一口气，不得不说有点遗憾。案件拍得蛮好，两个案子一简一繁一轻一重，人物立得鲜明，即使我这种没看剧版的观众也能get主角团各位。有点想因为影版去看电视剧了哈哈哈哈哈
西岛叔是整部剧的清流，其他人疯疯癫癫好欢乐。
依旧是合格的爆米花片，999的优点就是轻松快乐安心
案件一般吧，这剧不知道还会不会出剧版，电影版就是把该系列露过脸的角色基本都出镜了，也算满足了观众的情怀，说实话我倒觉得当初第一季好看多了。
有一些无法get到的日本人的笑点，让我觉得必须再努努力学日语了。
案件有bug
看得我又哭又笑……有好多熟悉的角色🥲虽然只是短短几幕但是真的好怀念哦！！（还会有第三季吗我真的求…）
实在是理解不了佐田对南天女儿的执念，私以为整部电影只有西岛的演技在线，杉咲花真的太可爱了🥹🥹
3.5🤔感觉99.9的氛围和设定果然还是适合电视剧长度
虽然还是一样的套路，一样的配方，但是就是喜欢
