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.
戳爷一如既往可 反套路又套路的 很典型的美式青春同性电影
Troye 克莱因蓝 单车 没有结果的爱情 还有比这更适合夏天的组合吗
戳粉来的，我就知道！戳唱了以你的名字呼唤我后肯定超想演类似题材的电影。但是说回来没有那部细腻好看。但我戳演的还是不错的
夏日、自行车、三人、同性，轻轻松松，有点像《爱，简单》
男的靠不住，最后还是姐妹可靠。三个月就像过了一个漫长的暑假，尝到了爱情的甜也体验了失去的痛苦，开放式结局挺好的。看完谁不说一句，他好可爱呢！
淦，真像当年的杰克吉伦哈尔啊。
五至七时的克莱奥，六至八月的戳希文；与母亲相见的那场戏太完整了；影片中后部分有一首香水天才的《Whole Life》，把香水天才推荐给大家。
或许只是当一个过客就好，一个夏天，一场回忆或许比在一起更有意义吧。有遗憾才是完美的。
谁不喜欢看戳make out，他是我心里同性恋小男生的典范
剛好過了三個月，又要期待新的三個月，那個時候的海邊煙火，不停綻放不停傾吐不停縱情，無論如何，夏天來臨，夏天過去，煙花易散，I won't leave you for good！青少年HIV防治宣傳片，懵懂期的teenage很容易感覺被全世界拋棄，一定要把握當下那些珍視你的人/家人，雲開霧散會有時，🎢也會平安抵達～
没想到我戳爷演技那么赞，但剧情真心没啥意思，俗不可耐，全是套路。
好看！戳真的好漂亮，怎么拍都好看，剧情流畅，感情真挚，细节动人，人物真实，确实好看，佛罗里达的夏天真好呀
Troye Sivan主演的电影 希望别翻车 毕竟这种题材 不太好驾驭//////troye演的还是很好的 尤其是fuck fucking fuck那一段 谁他妈的想孤独啊……ps：为什么片尾有一些照片像合成的 还有好多16年就看过的照片
片子把戳爷拍得还是挺美的，有点像甜茶，但是情感刻画以及落脚点确实不敢恭维，这个男主的设定也不讨喜，一直是家人和朋友在承担他的戾气却没有feedback. p.s本片会收到霉霉律师函警告。
这是导演自己的亲身经历改编的？！所以最后的结果是什么啊！也不交代一下，不过男主的这个经历倒是有些不尽如人意了，为了追求美好的爱情，倒追男二还被当成玩伴被甩，真的是很渣啊！演员方面，戳爷倒是挺适合这个角色的，又甜又帅的，谁不爱呢？男二真的是瞎了眼啊！整个故事呈现出来还是可以的，就是结局有些仓促了。
lgbt都一个路子 不好也不坏 但是看烦了 除了戳的脸以外没啥可看的了
戳爷官方认证：从今以后再碰到还不知道我宝爷是谁的人 直接开怼Do you live under a rock？
在我朝仍然风声鹤唳的时候，大洋对岸的糖水同性青春片已经能够将类型元素结合得细致而又自然，既拍出了青春惯有的迷茫和美好，也拍出了同性群体的情感与负担。
有料到但还是很开心Caleb那通电话是打给Dara的...
3.5。Troye的个人表演和颜值大秀、而且他演技还真可以。更喜欢后半段，把佛罗里达的夏日沙滩以及海岸线边骑双人单车拍得太美，再配上戳爷的白色、橙色、黑色短袖和背包，就像画报上的夏日清爽少年！恍惚以为甜茶来串戏了。
