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.
画风和打戏与第一季一样出彩，水墨风景如真如画，最后一击的那个镜头处理效果简直惊艳逆天。整部系列可以做成游戏了，如果放在院线里面至少质量是碾压一众动画的。不过真正值得高分的是整个系列背后的主旨。每个人都有自己认为正确的主张，并将对其的贯彻作为自己活下去的动力，可是每个人的主张都没能解决问题，反而会造成新的问题，又会有秉持其他主张的人来解决这个问题，再造成新的问题；每个人都不能完全说对或错，只有最后的成和败，一批人的成之对顶替另一批人的败之错，又在再一批人的成之对的顶替中变成败之错。循环不止，江湖不尽。而普罗大众，要么食不果腹，要么为人刀枪，要么苦力风餐，不过是去了旧神，再拜新神。
篇幅所限，没有写明西门仁想做的事情，但是我还挺欣赏西门仁这个角色的。
大势不是这么改的。
前期预告让人以为整篇会围绕车站的事情，看了才发现只是其中一部分。开始就觉得姐姐有点奇怪，中间的反转才让人恍然大悟。林允儿很适合高中生扮相，年轻人的初恋真甜蜜。
少了之前看到时候的经验
再看一遍雪中悍刀行小说，想想电视剧版太缺少一个好的动作设计了。建议雪中重拍！动漫找准设计。
【我家允儿演技有肉眼可见的提高，但这角色的存在意义比较鸡肋啊】
如果你是真聪明，就一定是善良的人。
虽然感动，但也很套路，全部剧情都能提前预料到，角色设定以及矛盾冲突也过于戏剧和刻板。比如男主贫穷但天才，各种客观原因造成一次次迟到，但不影响学业的顺风顺水；女主家境好且一心搞爱情，只是一个设定单薄的工具人；男主和父亲都认为全是自己的错，但谁也不说，只等最后的高潮和解戏。唯一亮点大概是允儿，这种活泼、机灵搞怪、带有幽默喜剧元素的角色因为和她本人性格接近，所以更加适合。加一星给整部影片的喜剧部分。允儿的水平足够，但大概率青龙拿不了，戏份太少，角色也不行，而且严格来讲，都可以算作是女配了……
武侠国漫第一吧
除了建模过于粗糙之外，剧情和动作都非常不错，景物也很可以，但是最好的拳拳到肉的动感
理想主义者要为自己的理想买单 不成功便成仁的口号需时刻准备着 西门仁所谓的让梨花开满临清的手段依旧是以暴制暴 江湖本如此 侠义之士只是刽子手的别称罢了。
看淡生死，难凉热血 打的好漂亮，剧情简单也是瑕不掩瑜 啊我的女侠梦☺ง
看的时候就一直很矛盾。长短都非常突出，武术真的很优秀而且很用心。相对来说，文戏就太弱了，无聊到想跳过。全剧最有意思的地方是西门庆死墙轰然倒塌其弟子纷纷倒戈。
怕了？
香港武侠电影回魂，武戏绝对是国内最佳，比TV版好了不少，但剧本稍弱，连打一个半小时，看到最后难免会审美疲劳，剧本立意不错，剧情是港武老套路。这片子不上院线捞一笔真是太可惜了。
打戏好，文戏让我像在看宣教片，喊话式的空口号有点多
名为《奇迹》的电影 → 中国香港 / 导演：成龙「奇迹 奇蹟 (1989)」；日本 / 导演：是枝裕和「奇迹 奇跡 (2011)」；加拿大 / 导演：丹尼尔·格洛「奇迹 Miraculum (2014)」；意大利 / 德国 / 导演：阿莉切·罗尔瓦赫尔「奇迹 Le meraviglie (2014)」；美国 / 中国香港 / 加拿大 / 导演：斯蒂芬·卓博斯基「奇迹男孩 Wonder (2017) / 又名：奇迹」；韩国 / 导演：李章焄《奇迹 기적 (2021)》；中国大陆 / 导演：文牧野《奇迹 (2022)》；……
完成度很是不错。武侠讲到这个份上在这个年头已经算是不错了。
水墨江湖快意恩仇，刀枪棍棒耍得是有模有样，文戏依旧式微，西门老爷话可以少些，说教意味委实是过量了。
