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.
《过春天》《狗十三》《少年的你》让国产青春片有了改观，但都把社会问题作为重头戏，“青春”的类型元素却有些无处安放，《盛夏未来》填补了这一市场空缺，影片对青春的理解，也超越了荷尔蒙的无序释放，打架与早恋（恋情本身）都不再是重点，而是对过去的自己、过去的关系、过去的谎言进行正视、和解、接纳，这是更向上（upcoming）、更有共鸣的一种力量。陈正道把握住了那些细腻的情感反应，我们感到自然不仅是因为这部影片描写了真实的高三环境，更因为它把握住了当代年轻人的社交状态、行为举止与说话模式：我们总是想与人发展亲密关系，却又始终提防着尴尬而保持着距离。因为校园恋情而产生的对学校、家庭的反作用力也终于被能动地提及，比如母亲对女儿早恋的释然，也鼓励了她正视自己的情感，好电影能赋予人物以纵深、赋予情节以普世。
吴磊饰演的郑宇星有着十八岁专属的青春活力，也有着青春期对爱情的迷茫，十几岁的喜欢可能就是不甘心，吴磊这些情感上的表演都处理得很好👍
电影果然要不带任何预设去看，之前还可能因为导演私货带来的惊讶多给一星，知道包袱后再看就会发现其实挺一般的……而且万幸男女主选的好所以没垮掉，要不真的会有一点点狗血……
青春、爱情这样的词汇是不足以定义这部电影的。导演是站在更高的角度去思考人在各个年龄阶段遇到的感情和生活问题，他意不在渲染爱情的美好，而是把爱情合理化-即爱情是无法完全由自己掌控的（生活也是）。你喜欢的人也喜欢你固然皆大欢喜，但是当天秤倾斜的时候你不光得有向前一步的勇气还得有向后一步的决心。我觉得这一点的表达是很高级的，陈辰和郑宇星之间确实没有爱情的火花，男生这个角色很多时候是处在一个大哥哥向下兼容的位置，一直到最后他俩都没有产生过实质的爱情，这个结尾走向也是合理的。
太开心了吧，感觉和吴磊谈了俩小时恋爱，嘻嘻嘻。
看到郑宇星爸爸出场就知道本片是LGBT了，太gay了。男同性恋导演拍这几种感情，陈辰想抓着爸妈的亲情和“安全感”不放手所以畏惧改变；陈辰长达一年多的暗恋；曲老师收手机时面对台下零零散散的“学习”声音愣住，简直手到擒来，细腻极了。残酷的青春片，太贴近生活太贴近我。
一方面反感这种擦边球蹭LGBTQ拍法，一边又觉得以这种方式一点点突破界限也很重要，anyway张子枫和吴磊演得都还挺入眼。
1、三个小时过去了也还是很生气，以为是看甜甜的高中生谈恋爱，结果前三分之二毫无镜头暗示，全靠英文字幕埋伏笔，隐晦得莫名其妙。 2、宣发诈骗。 3、摄影和灯光不错，调色很舒服。 4、没必要请祖峰来，太浪费了。吴磊的脸为什么总是看起来邋里邋遢的，没有之前那么白净，和我心里的少年气有很大差距。但张子枫，真好看。 5、如果吴磊喜欢的是刘昊然，那以上一切都可以原谅，love。
真好，这个青春劲我自己已经忘完了。去年这个时候也在听《拥抱》，这个内核依然是台湾的，好在现代化的青春片也在逐渐模糊这种地域边界了。现在的青春情侣已经在用无线耳机了。Xyz给cc混了首歌儿那里直接泪目。真好呀真好呀，充满勇气多么难。
爆哭。就情感的多义性来说，它简直是国产青春片的天花板了。太多的细节连结成了闪烁的光斑，把情感中的无奈与疼痛表现得精准抓心，又不失流动的轻盈。电子乐作为媒材也太好，不仅作为情感外化的连结体，也作为打开成人世界的方式。张子枫早已经不是在表演了，她完全进入，且成为了这个角色。
陈正道这是在为下面一部野心之作回款么？拍了一部在审查的边缘反复摩擦的“爱情”小甜剧。。。张子枫的感觉是对了，吴磊么。。。口吃还能治么？
从光年到未来，很开心看到同性恋终于摆脱了面对直人的卑微，还有对于父权的不屑一顾，哪怕他们恨不得一巴掌将我们打成残疾。我们眼泪只为自己爱的人而流，而一切的前提在于，我们爱的人必须配得上我们的爱。
电影结尾是说男主爱的是同性？导演如果是想做隐晦的同性电影，可是为什么又大势炒作吴磊和张子枫的异性真人cp呢？本来以为是可以看到甜甜的青春期爱情片，结果结尾……有种被骗婚的愤怒感，感谢演员们的演译，但是这种愤怒感只能化为1星送给导演，从秘密访客到这部的连续欺骗，这导演的片子我再也不想看了
既然电影要表达的是“勇敢去爱”、“勇敢去接受自己不接受的事情”，那请不要把字幕里的“MING”翻译成“她”好吗？虽然在简体影院里不可避免，但是还是为“MING”鸣不平。。。
目前年度最佳，可以毫不犹豫地说，这才是青春题材该有的样子。这个世界的现实就是，真情实感会在不经意间流淌，而海量细节最终谱写出的，是对未来短暂的笃定和永恒的迷茫。大概也只有陈正道这样的导演，才会有能力和意识来关注这么细腻的情感吧。
其实蛮遗憾的是，这几年把校园青春片拍得好的，都是香港和台湾的导演，如果说《少年的你》是BG的狂欢，那《盛夏未来》就是BL的暗喜，几乎是内地院线电影可以做到得极致了，所以加一星鼓励。吴磊饰演的郑宇星，在我心中是可以媲美刘小北一样的角色，几乎满足了所有我对少年的幻想，当然张子枫不是周冬雨，导演边拍脑海里想的应该是桂纶镁。看完出来朋友说作为一个gay男主的音乐审美也太烂了，我倒觉得唯一让我出戏的是打碟的地方，作为一个迷恋电子乐的gay，梦想应该不是在SPACE打碟....吧？
好像回到了刚上大学的时候，五月天，拥抱，蓝色大门，一切都那么简单，那么纯粹，那么充满希望，不想不想不想从电影里醒过来，狗日的工作，狗日的现实，我想看电影到天亮
总体来说非常惊喜，不再是狗血虐恋里的分分合合，也不再是脱离实际的天马行空，而是把重点落在对青春的探索上，算是一大亮点，电影中的勇敢面对、放下执念、接受异见也是诠释了青春片的主旨，那就是成长，没想到近几年国内最好的青春片还是台湾导演拍的，过程也是十分轻松，值得观看。
厦门和三亚很适合这个夏天的故事 跨年烟花下的这一吻太给人慰藉了 很少能在影视剧里看到这么干净 毫无情色意味的吻 两个人的遗憾与释然 对彼此的理解和祝愿 全在这一吻里了 举重若轻
Ming是男人的隐线设定让我的评分增加一星
