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.
逗乐的情节都有点尬，煽情其实并不多余，一部抗美援朝精神献礼片如果不煽情还看什么？
之前有一个评价褒贬不一总体来说中庸之作的战争片，《决战中途岛》，被戏谑为ppt式电影。我觉得能写一个好ppt也不错啊，至少我把来龙去脉前因后果了解的很清楚，算上了一堂历史课吧。这片子哪怕能这样拍呢？看完观众都一头雾水。志愿军赢了没懂为什么赢，志愿军艰难的地方也没懂为什么艰难，美军阿尔蒙德和史密斯部队之间的矛盾也没讲清楚。
看过点映之后心潮澎湃，写了篇长评，结果告诉我不符合社区指导原则，到现在也没审核出来，行叭。电影把志愿军战士为了祖国和人民的利益与尊严而奋不顾身的爱国主义精神，英勇顽强、舍生忘死的革命英雄主义精神，不畏艰难困苦、始终保持高昂士气的革命乐观主义精神展现得淋漓尽致，没有强上价值观，没有喊口号，没有硬煽情，只是把我们国家为什么做出“抗美援朝”的决策、我们的志愿军战士进行了怎样艰苦卓绝的浴血奋战如实地展现了出来。文戏是真的好，尤其是伍万里拉开火车门，看到巍峨长城，山川壮丽，真的是直击人心，一下子就明白了我们为什么要抗美援朝保家卫国。陈凯歌不愧是去竞选奥运开幕式导演能朗诵《闻官军收河南河北》的人，搞情怀还是有一套。
“为了我们的后代不用打仗”“为了百年后依旧和平”
“《长津湖》最好的彩蛋，便是今日繁荣昌盛的祖国”
。没有强行反战反思，没有过于个人英雄主义，拍出了我们正义之师的精气神！但是压轴的长津湖之战反而流于程式化了，唉……
看了点映，有笑有泪才是最刀的😭先说战争场面，真的巨牛逼！！！和美军正面刚真的看的我脚趾抓地（紧张的）美军和我们志愿军的装备差别大概是三级头和还没捡到头盔的差别🥲 真的看了才能体会到志愿军们的伟大。整部电影胡军老师的那一段我真的要哭疯了，胡老师有一句催泪台词大家可以期待一下。志愿军们除了在战场上是英勇无畏的英雄，在战场下也是一个个鲜活而可爱的人啊😭最喜欢打开火车车门那一幕，万里河山的美好出现在眼前😭😭我们为何在这里，为的就是守护这般美好的祖国，为的就是我们下一代的生活不再战火纷飞。
我们的国家依然是五岳向上
看完以后的最大感觉是，掌握制空权，发展军事非常的重要和必要性。
没看会后悔 三个小时一点也不长 群像很好人物立体 很震撼
一般般吧，看下来挺累的，感觉无论是陈凯歌还是徐克拍完全片都应该会有更好的呈现，林超贤那段就……算了，几乎整整一小时毫无呼吸感的红海式大尺度杂乱动作戏，刚开始是有点刺激，但看着看着感觉都成白噪音了，甚至犯困……
即使转战大银幕，团队仍然以《万万没想到》时期那种剪辑风格沾沾自喜，很下头。
室内群像戏，逐步推出案件真相。李家辉伸出去的手已经暗示了故事的真结局。
中国所有的主旋律电影就是有个弊端，剧情太差，场景换来换去，节奏很乱，根本没有剧情主线，看完都不知道在讲啥。看中国医生的时候也是这种感觉，整个电影将描绘的很宏大，音乐很庄重，但是讲的东西乱七八糟，什么都挑一点讲，最后什么都没讲。 不要总是挑这些历史事迹卖弄情怀，以为只要拍历史战争片再加些老戏骨就是好电影了，不是说不能拍，要拍就好好的，细细的琢磨，专研剧本和剧情。
总的来说就是感觉电影没有交代清楚长津湖的战略意义，就是一味的打打打，战略目的也只是提一嘴。
林超贤所设计的部分 音乐很熟悉。不得不说林超贤对战争的把控很到位呀。
没看会后悔 三个小时一点也不长 群像很好人物立体 很震撼
情怀性4星，喻恩泰一句“我觉得这部片子应该这样拍”瞬间带回《报告老板》……片中的迷影元素真是太好玩了，子墨在第一部大银幕作品中能做出这样的表达，也算是及格了吧。
先说缺点，在电影里有些片段有些刻意煽情，另外战斗场景不够真实，集体冲锋时候哪能搞这种密集冲锋，看得我都急死了。
不管方式多么逗乐，悲剧终究是悲剧；不管怎么掩饰反转，伤痛依旧是伤痛。你以为是民国，其实就是现在。
