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.
很多喜欢的情节被删了，但是月初变年轻了，要是没有删那些情节会更好
唉，服装太拉垮就真正的动漫版是好看，杨幂演的是什么露肩是勾引人的还有感觉杨幂的脸在了
这个片子把主演换成成龙跟谭咏麟就可以叫《龙兄虎弟》了，挺好的。最后一段空中加勒比海盗。
同名的索尼主机游戏没玩过，但也有所耳闻。电影片头插叙让人感觉开屏就雷击，但后续剧情好乏味哦……燃起来的只有空中跳伞那一段了。主要是这类电影太多了，剧情也大同小异，没什么新奇的点。不过我现在有新的问题了：入境，还能在他国领土干这种行当，现实中有没有可行性啊？？
我就想知道黑人女的头发咋做的//冒险片就是这样忙活半天啥也没了…什么白给了菲律宾？！我不管下一步你给我偷走了…
就是什麼該有的橋段都有帶到，但是卻沒有什麼特別突出劇情的爽片吧。要塞的太多，既緊湊又鬆散，碎片化的感覺？
其實可以很明顯的看出來電影想走成龍那種喜劇奪寶模式，但是一切都太老套，看著荷蘭弟感覺他是個還是個孩子根本進不到角色，有好多為了劇情而刻意設計的衝突真的沒有必要，飛機上掉下來和最後吊著船打鬥的那兩場戲真的非常不合邏輯，我不懂為什麼在國外票房這麽高。。。
网上有一句话说证明你看这部优秀国漫，我的答案：“前世你是我的妖仙姐姐，我是你的二货道士；今生我是你的道士哥哥，你是我的小蠢货”！
游戏改编烂片+1。请完荷兰弟是没钱了么，其他演员一水儿的路人脸，道具金子也都好假。在城市地下探险，机关没锈蚀，也没被城市改建损毁，就离谱。不过空中海盗这一段还挺有创意的，值得M一下。
到最后角色崩了。整体就是一个还算合格的爆米花
吃鸡海域的黄金宝藏总动员。过家家般的弱智与扯淡，各种违反物理常识，牛顿的棺材真就盖不住了!好害怕班德拉斯随时掏出两把冲锋枪就突突突突了!心动真的会带来危险，带着猫猫走天涯加一星!
有荷兰弟演的就不能给的太低了。。。毕竟这孩子太讨喜了嘛 虽然真的跟热评一样无尿点也无爽点 唯一的点可能在于情侣座的点？（并不哈哈）男二太眼熟了看的时候一直在想他是谁啊然后一直没想起来 女主毫无存在感 不知道为啥 居然也有那么点期待第二部。。。
荷兰弟都已经到了疯狂露肉的年纪了，好莱坞咋还在改那么上世纪的冒险剧本。（虽然尽可能在实现游戏里的名场面，但编排太无聊了
打斗也不刺激，剧情也是稀碎，不符合常理的一大堆，所以这玩意到底是想干啥，收割韭菜？
我发誓这是我看过最难看最无聊最低级的探宝电影了。 一星凑合给自然风景。
对于一部爆米花电影来说有点太长了，不过如果回头看什么戏可以砍掉的话，好像是可以只留下最后“飞”“船”大战就可以了。探险题材的类型片前有夺宝奇兵后有国家宝藏，这么多年好像就没人拍这个系列了，可惜了。
真的特别喜欢这个漫画，但是一想到杨，但是一想到杨幂要演，就真的好烦，就真的好烦，瞬间就想弃剧了
春天luxe 嘴炮不够毒，笑点不够多，寻宝偏儿戏，动作场面还算过得去。
合家欢的爆米花，比红色通缉令好看。细节经不住推敲，甚至一切让人怀疑那么轻而易举。想念巴塞罗那！
【4】一个字，烂。比较纳闷的是，古墓丽影和神海这么好的题材，为什么就出不来好的改编电影呢？还是说，探险夺宝题材的辉煌已经停滞在斯皮尔伯格时代。
