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.
我还没有从这个片子里走出来的原因大概是我感觉到这里面有很浓厚的悲的底子，你不能掌控的事情太多，但你要接受的事情却也不少。很多个陈辰侧面凝视郑宇星的镜头都很精准的体现出了暗恋的落寞，那是多大声的音乐都不能击碎的无可奈何！
该怎么去形容你最贴切，欺骗观众的感情要不得
好尴尬啊 张子枫演出了一股油腻的味道 令人不适……三石目不转睛地盯着台上的MING的时候像是在告别。
最喜欢的一幕是水下的手往上升，两只手逐渐融为一只，震撼到，人生是一场自救。
有时候，我也希望所有的影厅门口，都能够站着一位抱着塑料箱、要收学生手机的班主任。看电影的人，就和高三的人一样，应被短暂剥夺浏览信息和通信的权利。两小时没有输出信号、没有收到消息，哪怕我们在看一部关于“线上传播”的电影。我放任这种专制主义，是因为我相信电影。我不反对在影厅里走神、睡觉。我只是觉得，比起5G信号，电影需要更多一些时间。因为电影的速度，比5G要慢，但它和我们走神、睡觉的频率同步；它的速度，是蕴藏在我们的身体之中的，它可以在电音的振幅里，抽出一个升格的吻。
虽然是小孩子，但是我们要学会面对一些已经发生的事情，夕阳下的两人对话让各自都有了成长，喜欢
陈正道这是在为下面一部野心之作回款么？拍了一部在审查的边缘反复摩擦的“爱情”小甜剧。。。张子枫的感觉是对了，吴磊么。。。口吃还能治么？
我敢说这是近年来最好看的青春片，没有之一！整部片子很轻快明朗，没有堕胎撕逼这种疼痛文学，很贴近现实，同学之间的打闹让人仿佛回到了高中时期。吴磊弟弟真的好帅啊！尤其是成为DJ打碟的时候，帅疯了！这张脸真的好适合在大荧幕上，帅到我男朋友都在惊呼：卧槽！吴磊怎么这么帅？！我个人感觉弟弟的演技被低估了，可能因为长得太好看了吧？他的眼睛好像会说话，眼神就能传达出许多情绪，哭戏也是一绝，他一哭我也跟着哭，代入感很强。郝蕾老师一如既往的稳，演戏很自然也很细腻，不愧是影后，祖峰老师还有郑宇星爸爸的扮演者，演技也都非常好，有这些老戏骨的加入，这部电影也是锦上添花了。看的时候就有个疑问，陈辰的设定是哪里人啊？怎么子枫妹妹说台词带点腔调，感觉怪怪的，不过整体演得还行吧。
少颗星是因为剧情略平淡。
2021华语最佳青春片。希望所有年轻人都能在自己最好的年纪找到最好的自己。
厦门和三亚很适合这个夏天的故事 跨年烟花下的这一吻太给人慰藉了 很少能在影视剧里看到这么干净 毫无情色意味的吻 两个人的遗憾与释然 对彼此的理解和祝愿 全在这一吻里了 举重若轻
高中生谈恋爱能谈出成年人的城府和心机，对比之下，两个中年人的婚外情却跟初中生学生一样羞涩和缠绵，现在的青春片都这么高级了嘛
还是挺好，台词弱 表演强。国产电影的特点就是情节剧啊 都有些电视剧浓缩版倾向 看《一朵小红花》也是 无法做到简化 但就是很好哭。独立电影始终会触碰到虚构与非虚构，现在主流的院线电影也在做此回应 从《夺冠》到《吉祥如意》，《送你一朵小红花》也一样，导演喜欢让观众看所谓的“真实”，《盛夏未来》台词问题体现在这，就是因为表演体系是纪实性 台词就假，张子枫表演max 太像身边同学朋友了，已经圈粉。两个年轻人的戏份也有很多是记录抓拍式呈现的，导致郝蕾“惯性”表演都没有起到太大的作用。陈正道探讨的话题都在前进
#0729北京首映# 真的好，超出预期的好，各个方面的好。是我继《蓝色大门》《不能说的秘密》之后最喜欢的华语青春电影。电影用明媚又清爽的笔触勾勒出一段不狗血不套路不无病呻吟不歇斯底里的少年故事。一个人年少时一定要经历一场暗恋，为此思量，为此忐忑，然而当回望的时候，已经能够如此平静，注视曾经的执著，轻微叹息。少年时光是悸动、是遗憾、是孤勇、是成长，是将轻微的疼痛与哀伤凝成对自己的和解与悦纳，最终镌刻成永远闪闪发光的一秒24帧的青春。张子枫永远让人惊喜，自然细腻又动人，用眼神讲述着无可言说的少女心事，小心翼翼地试探、靠近，太能让人共情。吴磊就是人群中最耀眼的少年，如果非要说剧本悬浮（我不觉得），那一定是悬浮在我们真正的青春中并不会有吴磊吧。
拍得还行吧，不过不大看得进去，主要还是这个故事太台湾了，不像是内地会发生的事儿，甚至有一种《渺渺》的感觉，而两个主角又太干净了，太纯情了，并不像那种可以逃学并且离家出走的人，整个故事除了爸妈角色之间的情节以外我都找不到情感投射的点，就糊里糊涂给看完了，算是大型抖音广告加青春vlog吧！
怎么说呢，留给青春里的好友彼此懵懂和迷惘的故事，变成了一场【质疑主创性向，批评作为爱情片的bg或bl成分不纯，批判应付审核打擦边球，审判死gay骗婚】的狂欢。果然，变质的b站有着全中国自我感觉最良好的一批低龄化三观表，以及超脱世俗的道德卫士。
太好看了！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！
首先，这个故事里的角色们的困惑和成长换成任何一个性别都成立。我只说自己真实的感受——作为当下的青春片，它对于展现校园、同学、老师家长的状态我相信是非常真实的，而且主创一定下了功夫去了解体会。光这一点的微不足道就甩了大部分同类电影几里地。然后是时代感，我们总说不理解现在年轻人，这个电影给出了一个“想要理解你们”的态度，而没再高高在上地说教了。当下无论是物质、生活方式、传媒手段、舆论环境等等都与我们那个时候大相径庭了，包括价值观，所以我们本身也不该再戴着老花镜去感受他们了。最后代入感，因为不论时代如何变迁，人长大的过程都是一样的，都会体验暗恋的紧张，经历爱情似是而非时期的懵懂，一边觉得自己成熟一边做出冲动的行为，被一直以为的谎言震撼，当然也要在逃避与直面的选择中作出决定。而这些，都与性别无关。
除此之外最令我惊艳的就是郑宇星这个角色，他阳光开朗、自由奔放，如同每一个幻想中的校草一样，无论到哪里，无论做什么，总是那么吸引人的注意力。但随着故事的发展，郑宇星的另一面也逐渐展现在观众面前，他更像大多数处于这个年纪的少年的缩影：内心敏感又脆弱，用喧闹来掩盖自身的孤独，吴磊在这方面的表演确实带给我不少惊喜。还喜欢最后部分，长发的妹妹太美了！希望子枫妹妹以后多留长发！但不太喜欢陈辰对郑宇星说秘密和青春电影那段，感觉有点怪怪的，不知道是不是故意安排，还有因为地点设定在厦门吗，陈辰好像偶尔有点湾湾腔？（本想打4星但我逆反了）
张子枫还是灵的，吴磊找到了适合他的角色。如果非要说它跟《盛夏光年》的关系，那就是它有着光年之外万象更迭的明媚色彩，但它也是光年的故事若真的行至如今必经的残酷必然。
