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.
感觉看下来是要给四星。但剩下的一星也要给，给看完之后的感觉。
distant sky一出来就忍不住了，这部电影里的每个角落都和现实世界的故事相呼应着，悲恸却又充满希望不就是人性么。感谢每一个努力让ta面世的人 / 资本: 达克赛德么，无尽的分身，后院无酬劳拍摄以及zoom远程拍摄: togetherness
比电影院的好看点，但是放倒电影院里面也不会有高分，一共4小时，至少1小时无用的剧情，很多特效一直慢放毫无必要，有些文戏也非常的枯燥。
接下来的任务就是：Release The Snyder's JL2 JL3 JL4......！！！
4.片子可以说验证了我的猜想，如果继续让施奈德拍DC，他能第二部给你整达克赛德战争，第三部直接无限危机走起。
*Very important moments have to be like music videos, buy some expensive classic hit songs or write a bigger check to the composer. But remember still in slow motion! 3. Some last minute information stuffing = batman: I had a dream
四个小时的鸿篇巨制，不仅仅只是一部电影那么简单，所有曾推动它重现光明的每个人和每件事都值得被记录，在承认这是一部粉丝电影之前应该明白的是，这是回报给所有为这部电影付出过努力的人们，不论它有多少私人化的成分或是缺陷所在，它最终成为了一颗由万千微光所凝聚而成的太阳，又再一次地照耀着那些曾经走过的每一条路。从三年前所有的不曾妄想不敢相信到现在所拥有的，虽然还是会有遗憾但依旧值得欢呼与感动，正义联盟拯救了世界，而我们拯救了你。
最骚的就是不难看也不好看。。还特地去翻了下之前的打了个1了，这部虽然长，花了3顿晚饭和一顿夜宵，确实也没啥破防的地方，除了无聊。。难道这就是真·还行，看完睡觉在梦里达克赛德把中国人全灭了吧，中国人是没救了，正好我也能在睡梦中死掉也挺好的
相信每一个曾经辛苦耕耘却惨遭接盘最终还得背锅的创作者都能对Snyder Cut感同身受。剧本存在的问题其实没解决，丰满了flash和cyborg让建置部分显得更长了，好在氛围感拉满，扎导装逼镜头注入灵魂，做成迷你剧会比四小时长片更精彩。虽然但是，全员内鬼的华纳配不上DC宇宙。
前后两场大战有了史诗的感觉，尤其是后面闪电侠逆转时间，十分震撼。感觉这一版多了很多英雄们与身边人的羁绊情感刻画，如超人和露易丝、钢骨和爸爸、闪电侠和爸爸等，这些感情也是他们成为英雄的一个基石，同时也是“英雄也是人”这个论点的一个有力论据，这是不错的。不过我觉得慢动作镜头用得有点多了，其实像神奇女侠出场那段的快动作场面看得还是很爽的，可以多点，btw女侠往空中扔炸弹的一幕绝美。结尾蝙蝠侠的梦信息量与震撼程度等于前面的所有：超人的黑化，海王和哈莉奎因的死，与丧钟小丑的联手，神奇女侠的失踪……要是有下一部就好了。
除了个别动作戏和结尾的小丑外，其他部分均表现平平，尤其是扎导在政治正确的道路上越走越美主流，虽然故事的主线是超人带动蝙蝠侠贯穿全局，但着笔最多的却是黑人（而且超人的理智靠爱回归和闪电侠因信念而突破光速这种渣的不能再渣的套路配上恶俗的bgm让我十分受不了）。而守望者以极致的浪漫开篇，贯穿全剧的黑暗，成为我最爱的超级英雄片，可能也是唯一了。扎导你还是少拍大IP，拍些小成本，甚至B级片吧
联想乔斯·韦登版，似乎形成一种互文，但不得不说，尾灯真是漫威派来DC的间谍。
搞成这样，不搞续集很难收场，劝华纳不要不识抬举。无论如何，缺少单人起源电影的积累带来的掣肘还是无法避免，最后只能是补剧情加时长至4小时（这不怪华纳的规划怪谁啊），当然4小时在我这是优点，越长越好！I need more！这部里海王尽显狂野帅气，大超就是神，不能让Henry就此离开！反派废话不错。如果还让扎导拍，务必请汉斯·季默回来……
结尾闪电侠神速力爆发扭转时间，一切破碎的东西都随着他的脚步复原，这是整部电影最高光的时刻！
7.我爱这部电影，满分是五分，我愿意为了自己的私心再多给一分。
比剧场版好看，但照《守望者》还差好大一段距离。第一部就是一个小时的大型MV，慢镜太多，真没必要这么长。这部的主角是闪电侠，比快银炫。超人太扯了，重色轻友无脑男。亚马逊女战士太废物了，神奇女侠和海王是来打酱油的，有没有他俩不影响情节。整个故事就是复联和魔戒的小孩，没什么新意。为什么说到这觉得应该减一星。
慢动作+mvstyle+阿巴阿巴阿巴的旁白扣一分，大人，时代变了。然而极致的中二加极致的装逼就是，爽。但要说漫威就是爆米花，dc就是英雄史诗那肯定是不对的，两个都是爆米花。闪电米勒超可爱（破音
四个小时，挣扎着看完。有必要吗真的有必要吗……看到最后看他们打架看烦了都
扎导，yyds，人设/剧情/成长弧线，一应俱全
也不知道这部电影的神作的点在哪里，整这么暗黑是在整啥？
