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.
童年回忆啊 算是不错的改编了 皮皮鲁戏份再多点就好了
皮皮鲁鲁西西这套小学四年级时候看的不能自拔
真的要了亲娘老命了。演员不行制作不行，剧本也不行……我作为一个如此相信童话的人根本就没有接受设定！怎么小朋友就？？？？？
难以相信这是2021的电影。特效不行，剧本也千疮百孔，尬点好多。着大火的时候不着急逃生，先磨蹭着道歉（鞠婧祎的古偶剧：着大火了不着急逃生先亲吻），鲁西西下来之后所有大人欢呼把她往上抛，但明明孩子在哭喊、还拼命指向房顶，那大人们能不能问问“为什么哭上面是不是还有人”……给大人看的东西比人家差五十年，给儿童看的东西比人家差一百年。
看不出奇幻，时空倒很错乱。看不到童真，父母老师像是单纯的角色扮演，儿童倒是满怀心思、充满算计，相当令人不适。
为什么要用我小时候的故事来教育长大后的我？我的童年很快乐 就是因为没有那些狗屁中心思想
我觉得是好看的诶 不过还好没花钱去电影院 有一点圆了我童年的梦 就是皮皮鲁的小演员有点不太符合 （我老母亲又看哭了 我真的迷惑泪点在哪里）
讨论教育的本质，又能在这样一个魔幻的环境里表现现实，童话最本真的爱和勇气也太容易哭了，啊啊啊，四年级一班的皮皮鲁和鲁西西，我的童年！
所有年纪的都应该看看，不过在现在的情境下，有些东西有点夸张了
“也不知道怎么道别，书里也没有讲过。” PS：花絮里的道具和拍摄可比现在的某些电视剧用心不止一点点啊。
童话书是我很小的时候看的了，也记不得内容了…但据说本片改动还不小…其实这要是拍的能有吹梦巨人或胡桃夹子那样，我也就给四星了…但奈何你非拍成了时间的皱折和阿特米斯…前半段其实都挺好，后半段崩的有点厉害…
童话大王，郑渊洁，皮皮鲁与鲁西西，真的是童年的回忆了。包括这本书我都还在呢。 拍的还是不错的，服化道和每个小演员的演技都很在线。小演员和罐头小人都很可爱？如果大人们的演技能再自然些就更好了。
3、片尾很好地向小朋友介绍了特效场景是如何拍摄，以及拍摄中的酸甜苦辣；
成长轨迹毫无交集的咱俩，作为郑渊洁的老粉，《罐头小人》成了我和蒲蒲共同的儿时回忆（虽然已经记不太清剧情了）。依稀记得歌唱家是贝塔的老婆，电影里说他们的老家是魔方大厦——读书不光是为了抓分数，更重要的是学会爱。郑氏宇宙YYDS～
第一次带着娃去看电影，以她的尺度，有紧张到想跑的时候，也有感动落泪的时候。大人看的也开心
太太太好看了！！！求求你们都去看！！我要二刷，今年国庆档最佳！！！！
郑渊洁童话，童年的回忆，虽然拍的有点尴尬，话糙理不糙。
有情怀滤镜也没用啊，这里面的成年女性，不管是老师还是妈妈怎么看都神经兮兮的，让人厌恶。感觉看的我血压都高了。小时候无比喜欢的童话故事，就留在小时候吧。
全家一起看的电影，能跟幼儿园和一年级的女儿讨论电影，真是新鲜而奇妙的体验。
轻松愉快欢乐，虽然已经忘了原著，但看完仍觉得很开心，是九十分钟的独属美好了。几个小演员都还可以，配乐虽有彼此衔接问题，但能做到适时出现烘托氛围。跪求郑亚旗赶紧影视化其他的啊！拿着这么大ip怎么就没啥面向大众市场的动作呢
