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.
感谢李小龙，李小龙就是世界范围内影响力最大成就最杰出的华人，咏春拳几乎就是中国功夫的代名词了。欧美社会里的华人的刻板印象也都很实在而且不冒犯很好笑。
在看过6季Vikings的前提下，这部一小时没到已经不想看了，本片唯一的亮点就是提到了成为挪威国王的King Harald占领了谋反篡位私生子弟弟的王国。要是我想了解北欧神话我会去看Discovery，要是我想看重口那选择太多了。这部拍的四不相
亲，有句话叫做“冤冤相报何时了”。这边建议您了解一下呢。
老套的故事情节并不影响极致的视听语言享受。Y
最令人共情的反派
晕死。。。这不就是打来打去的狗咬狗一样的吗？每个男的都那么脏兮兮的。基德曼干嘛呢。。。迷一样的妈妈。真的很一般。
整个故事有些拖沓；妮可讲真相那段演技杠杠的；女主侧颜无敌
新瓶旧酒乏善可陈，影像风格倒是颇有诗意。符号化的，冲突性的，疯狂而神秘的野兽派，莽中有细。
野蛮血腥 但总觉得差口气 类型片文艺片有点两边不靠 不尴不尬
整体观感很不错，剧情很经典，无论是画面还是音乐还是表现形式上那种粗粝和野蛮展现的淋漓尽致。一点不足就是女主太像个现代人了，还用起了巫术，观感很怪
所有人都在打打杀杀 只有安雅在独自美丽（谢谢老婆） 太野蛮了真的 血腥暴力✓
『 7.5 好莱坞最近怎么这么喜欢王子复仇记，导演风格和A24的邪性还是那么强烈，电影院的电影，这也是国内外口碑差别的原因之一吧，其实国外也是高口碑低票房（配乐存在感好强-Robin Carolan；都找了斯卡斯加德了，还是多说说北欧语言吧，好久没看基德曼演的了，肉眼可见的老，安雅就是照的女巫来的）』
可惜了，氛围感较前两部差不少。而且白天像权游，晚上像灯塔，又总有一种抽离感。
梁朝伟撑起全场，和男主对手戏时，演技大碾压！漫威也开始拍怪兽大战了……
没有想象的烂，公车那一段还不错，但意外的是刘思慕在片子里真的不好看，其实他作为insta guy还可以，结果一上大银幕网红现形，偏偏还可劲儿怼脸拍，如果他是配角只拍身法的话效果应该还好点。

一顆星給本片帶來唯一的好消息：bruce變回人啦！
咱就是说 梁朝伟跟陈法拉生出来的孩子长成刘思慕这样合理吗 （没有说刘思慕不好的意思）
看的92y首映场 E大真的尽职尽责认真回答问题 第一次看故弄玄虚神话片 大家吐槽的50个人小村庄称王打打杀杀没有大场面我也深有同感 但这也许是当年北欧神话的真实展现？我被我女神的所有片段吓坏了
大概就是想拍史诗但总觉得哪里不够连贯，北欧神话也好，王子复仇也好，都不是那么陌生的内容，却依然感受不到景物之外的震撼，可能问题在于拍摄人物的方式，很努力是有啦，效果不够好
