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.
我还是觉得《生死有时》的译名更贴题。
Farewell to James Bond.
6.5/10
其实电影没有什么惊喜，故事真的好一般，只因为喜欢丹尼尔的邦德，因为这次已经谢幕了，以后再也看不到了，给多一分吧。好久没有看2D版IMAX电影了，嘿，真的好壮观啊，那种大气真不是普通银幕可比的。
三星半绝对有，一点也不差。前半部尤其不错。后面手撕鬼子戏份有点长，老让Rami演一样的角色感觉浪费了他的才华。结尾有一丢丢动人。废弃的俄罗斯军事设施好带感。福永导演还是有两把刷子的（老实说我看之前是做好了看完之后吐槽他才华止于true detective 的思想准备的。
煽情苦情亲情就是没有激情，蹒跚老迈犯傻唯缺风流潇洒。作为动作片也算还行，贴上007系列标签真叫一蟹不如一蟹，他可以是任何一个热血英雄，但肯定不是007，不是James bond
前半部分基本符合对于007电影的期待，甚至对于找个黑人女007戏言的回应，还有点惊喜。后半段太垮了，这告别显得很敷衍，也完全不詹姆斯·邦德。还有1.43看的色调很重，不知道是不是银幕原因。古巴小姐姐MVP！
007版勇闯夺命岛，反派一定要多看点儿加缪，他们的誓言估计自己都不信。
丹叔真不容易，从最丑最矮邦德变成了最硬汉演技最好的一任007，但这部收尾遗憾太多了，故事真的乱七八糟的，反派毫无逻辑，直接把邦德写死了，那后面要怎么拍呢？继承007的名号还有姓名？
福永和汉斯季默携手谱写的、一出催人入睡的人民英雄赞歌。
一如既往的007风格，这次邦德有了老婆和女儿，成丈夫了，她们是他的的一切。给丹尼尔007画下了句号
戈登将军在21世纪，骑士精神保守主义的挽歌，密集炮弹fuck掉集体主义，化学药池泡掉像列宁的科学怪人，恐怕只能在电影里yy一把了。
忽然觉得女主长得很像Diana Krall? 新007出现跟DW里的Ruth Doctor 一样，可惜戏份忒少，还以为终于不再是单打独斗了呢。一直以为丹叔的007我都看了，一刷豆瓣居然都没标，一看情节梗概也都毫无印象，还是需要为了情怀补一下……
這一版007倒是每一部都看了……但這個收尾，就DNA啊孩子啊什麼的，不夠乾脆利落，反派桑的操作也讓我想起看過的諸多陣仗很大但動機「就這？」的日本電影。朋友吐槽了一個點，也很到位，最後告別時邦德說the most beautiful thing是孩子就尼瑪離譜，至少應該是你老婆啊！即便男女主之間真的毫無chemistry。不如多給Ana妹子一點戲份，實在太美太可愛了！！另外Waltz叔死得好潦草，氣。
一边不愿它结束，一边又希望它快点结束，大银幕看或许观感会还不错吧，也就或许。咋说呢，觉得007系列“碟中谍化”迫在眉睫。
a lot of time to sleep.
我是从做电影杂志编辑工作之后才开始看的007系列，之前一直看不上这种商业大片franchise。一看就喜欢上了，甚至对评价很低的提摩西·道尔顿都喜欢。最高的当然是肖恩康纳利和乔治拉赞比，反倒不是特别喜欢罗杰摩尔和布鲁斯南的007。对丹尼尔的《皇家赌场》非常喜欢，但《天幕杀机》之后味道越来越不对。这部前半段不错，后面直接跌泥坑里了:缺乏悬念，反派太弱，007过于感情用事，打斗不精彩，高科技不突出……可惜了一众好演员，有点为了完结而完结！
《No Time To Die》前奏响起就开始掉眼泪，最后一顿暴哭，抛开看到的所有评论，从感情开始，摄影和配乐以及“剧情”已经非常值得我的掌声了，我永远爱Daniel Craig的James Bond，这已经是已经一个“完美”的句号了
没想到007以这样的方式谢幕，也明白了为什么一直要万花丛中过，片叶不沾身。责任是很棒的负担，让你甘心赴死。不得不承认自己老了，这么多年的007也终章了。但是这样的方式，不够喜欢。太过煽情，所有的系列都在告别，都在煽情，且让人无话可说。这一部中，女性角色很多。女主角还是美的。
整部电影都在传达，"如何留住最后的尊严"。不管是这个前途未卜的经典系列，还是终将落幕的英雄。槽点是密集了一点，剧情是老套了一点。不过，结局总是不甚完美，起码也算拼尽全力。
