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.
片子本身很一般，但是派恩和福斯特的老搭档看的很舒服，这哥俩在一起的化学反应很有意思
最后男主呐喊不要成为父亲那样抛妻弃子的人，动作场面拍得很一般
新时代试图重启谍影重重系列。但目前看，绿草地是谍影重重的核心，没有他就没有这个系列，换谁都不好使。对于美国国内市场来说，退役军人主题可能还会有市场，但对于国际市场来说，这个电影就乏善可陈了。但对于军事爱好者来说，这部电影在战术元素应用上还有可取之处。
纯印度神片，类似印度神油，把总理和议会大厦都搭进去了，就为了显摆男主改造后的优异能力，而且居然没有歌舞，怎么能没有歌舞呢，气。。。
没那么差 75左右至少 还可以的 故事简单 但是音乐和声音处理的很好
男的个顶个英勇神奇 不死之身 哈哈
4.9/10 即便剧本与同类型有极高的重合度, 但若活用题材与设定, 本可完成一本颇具思考价值的剧本。 可惜故事内容过满只得压缩, 可压缩之后故事又欠缺逻辑与条理。 并且本作更为致命的部分, 在于这个故事的深度与复杂度, 使场面不得不让位于叙事。 尽管动作戏观赏性极其优秀, 但简短的时长未能使其掩盖住剧本的不足。 最终以剧本与场面互相牵制的状态, 奉上一部失误满满的影片。
半夜睡不着看的，真的是可惜了这么帅的男主，剧本在三十年前都可以说老套。
复刻《谍影重重》的风格影像，但格局和叙事完全脱节，只记住了派恩那件Barbour的作战夹克。
《超级士兵》讲述了特种兵男主角因为恐怖袭击导致了女友死亡和自己瘫痪，在科学家操作下通过植入智能芯片成为超级战士对抗恐怖组织的故事。印度电影，你就可以想象了，中二感十足，好在没有打斗时候载歌载舞，除了主角逆天人设外，动作戏还是可以看耍的，6分。
这让我联想到了当前的新冠病毒，与美国辉瑞特效药了。
哈哈哈哈哈看的挺爽，虽然每一幕都似曾相识哈哈哈。
一句话，新冠病毒就是狗日的美国弄出来的！这帮挨千刀的不得好死
南征北战负伤累累，被迫用药物缓解痛苦，光荣退伍却得不到一丁点福利，艰难维生养家糊口，迫不得已加入私人组织，踏上不归路。
印度版《美国队长》＋《白宫陷落》，两天看了两部印度商业爽片，其实都是抄好莱坞玩剩下的，但是相比较《野兽派特工》，这部还是合理很多，也装逼，但没那么装逼。
滅口不合理，動作戲也一般，男主角ending完全不發揮嘛。
两星半 亚马逊 网飞这些平台截至目前还没把拍电影这件事搞明白
他盆友出现后就猜到了故事大致的走向…结尾太仓促了，他盆友是不想活了吗，直接不找障碍物等死了
主题太深沉了，时不时有个闪回的镜头交代主角的心魔就让人很难受。阴谋都没讲多清楚，非要这那的搞父子情，人类未来啥的。反正不是期待中大杀四方的爽片。24小时男主居然这么老了诶。。。
可能是和现场落差太大，layton、john都比这个男主选角好太多。
