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.
有点尴尬，不过不影响整体观感。在海边，躺在沙滩上好美，好诱人，很美好，不以疫情为背景，就更好了。故事虽然很老套，但挺清新的。
素食主义=食草动物，肉食主义=食肉动物，如果能够多一点隐喻就好了
全剧主厨说的最多的就是抱歉，，对不起，，，
one shot一镜到底，结尾略仓促。利物浦口音太迷人
爱情本就并非一帆风顺，两个人相处肯定会有一些摩擦，再加上疫情，糟心的亲戚，前任，情敌，现在又要开始远距离恋爱，Cairo和Gavreel太难了，不过相信他们一定能坚持下来修成正果的。
最近在读管理学方面的书，这部剧就是活生生的例子，一个有效的组织如何突然崩溃的。
编剧不太行，但演员演得挺真情实感的。还可以。
一开始有点劝退。但是后面再看觉得还好，导演这种视频沟通的拍摄手法还挺新鲜的。
没有争吵、没有误会、没有隔阂，Gav和Cai小天使互相扶持、互相安慰，怎么会有这么好的感情啊，求S2一定要尽早结束异地恋，不忍心看babys哭 呜呜
一个固定空间很好的完成一镜到底，哎，人人都有这个那个mess！
因为有同一个演员，还以为菲律宾羞耻之作《网红男孩》怎么出第二部了，原来有部剧叫作《游戏男孩》，那行吧。全程感觉像在看两个小男孩在谈恋爱，我果然不适合看这样的剧。
离开了网络世界，现实才能发现更多的问题。没有第一部那么惊艳，但还是挺好的
从屏幕网恋再到床戏，终于等到了😭😭😭😭不负我，还是互攻！！！偶买嘎子
极尽讽刺之力，让抵制肉食的狂热分子变成肉食，还挺有意思的恐怖喜剧。
没想到两个人居然是互攻！虽然最后要分别，但是我相信他们的故事没有结束，还会继续一起走下去的，期待第二部。
男主演技一直在线，在哪里都这么在线，挺喜欢这种单一场景的小制作，平平淡淡，简简单单。
也算是为了s2铺垫吧
“学黄秋生”......字幕组，我们出来聊聊
刚刚做完西班牙大厨Miguel Cobo的纪录片, 再来看这部电影, 可以毫不夸张的说, 欧洲顶级厨房的压力, 这部电影做到了百分百写实, 一点没有夸张.
看的途中轻松发出G5尖叫 玛丽亚凯莉听了都要拜我为师
