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.

平均水平吧，换景的点子在大欺诈师里用过了。
框架搞这么大挺没意思的 主线故事水平和之前持平 前半部分铺垫过长
本次故事中规中矩，古泽只要坚持写下去，这个系列也未必不能成为日本的影视界的“哈利波特”，庞大的宇宙能把日本整个演艺界都纳入，麻酱也能无限变装。值得注意的是前作中出现的两位重要的客串角色并没有因现实中演员的去世而消极消失，而是出现在的台词之中帮助推动剧情。尽管面临着质量下滑，但仍希望这个系列能持续下去，古泽良太永不退休。
3.4/还是延续了系列的风格 虽然一开始就猜到了结局 但是还是很棒呀 日本人在表演方面的夸张感真的让人觉得时刻年轻呢
在被剧透后去看就只剩下幸福满满，感动到落泪，真的太棒了呜呜呜呜呜。
感觉有3-4h那么长，看不进。风景不错，没必要
1和前两作相比剧本还是弱了，可能是因为填补空缺加了很多新角色【不说了，杰西和star真的永远的痛了2达子和赤星我觉得很可以！！！！3最后的2.5次元就这？就这？4呜呜呜我还想看续作
3）黑泽真的高、帅
好看！第一次在电影院看到同性题材的电影，感谢🇲🇴～～好多男男情侣和腐女一起看 氛围好好
豆瓣这个演员表是不是有问题，看完了也没发现我竹内结子在哪。
多一星给萌萌的赤星❤️太可爱了，但是戏份好少哦。相比下，东昌越看越生厌，戏里戏外都令人讨厌
比上部好看，看《行骗天下》虽然知道套路，但就是看它的反转节奏，片头三人边走边说台词那个熟悉的招牌，很激动啊，又回来了，长泽雅美虽然更圆润了，但是还是女神，哈哈，哎，各人都露了个面，也有故人离去，不过东出昌大这渣男，不知道还有没有下一部了…
熟悉的配方，熟悉的味道，希望“达子”能这样永远开开心心。
尽量忽略东出昌大的存在
③雨中黑泽前往长崎找安达的剧情本来应该是重头戏，但是黑泽演员全程带着不明所以的敌意，这种令观众难以理解的眼神一直一直持续到两个人坦诚心中所想为止……真的太煞风景了

冲着高分来的，结果日本真人照搬表演漫画夸张的动作和表情，我实在是认为幼稚至极，是不是我太老了以至于无法欣赏漫画式真人版。最大坏蛋很容易看出来，达也下套的套路在中间的某个时候也能猜出来。我觉得直接用漫画电影是不是更和谐一些？有一个bug，没有进到保险室的达也没见过里面的布局，是如何伪造出搬空的地下室呢？这是不可能的室吧，她有的只是图纸而已，装修的墙壁和颜色是怎么猜出来的呢？
可以了，不要再拍了。感觉又费钱又不好看，套路都一样，不能玩个别的IP吗？还有，尽量不要让我看到东出的脸了，谢谢。
7分，这个系列拍到现在就是图一乐，每隔一到两年出一部，看看这群人的骗中骗中骗，虽然有些套路了，但还是能乐呵呵的看下去也就够了。
