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.
这个剧本这个表演，加上同行衬托，我给4星，下一部电影我也会看
努力撇开原著滤镜未果，看完所谓的“丰富的”未公开镜头更失望了……李的访谈挺有诚意，但只觉得是被塞了一嘴疲软的裹脚布。白鸟玉季的表现还是很棒的。原著极细腻极痛，但那种痛存在于光天化日之下，在人群中面无表情地发酵，而电影无节制的冗长镜头、滥用的晦暗色调把这种痛扭曲为猎奇、病态、偏执，尖锐的绝望和深重的疏离感被稀释成了无病呻吟。对人际关系的追问、对世间“温柔”的反思、对并非爱情的独特关系的反复强调荡然无存，这恰恰是《流浪之月》的力度和新意所在啊……痛哭着脱裤子的松坂桃李不是文，结尾小鸟依人的广濑不是更纱，文紧紧握了十五年的手、更纱旁若无人的自由、独立个体间基于理解的救赎被简化成男欢女爱你追我随的模式，简直是一种讽刺。丢了太多东西，弄出个狭隘俗套的故事。李相日读的《流浪之月》大概是另一版本吧。
确实是质量稍微好一些，对白情节设计地都是能让人看下去不厌烦的状态，后面的部分如果是非常好的电影那就是加分项，但是目前还不能算所以就较为累赘
日本导演真的很擅长这种小成本文艺片，让我想起了三浦春马那部《深夜前的五分钟》，阴暗的画面，似自言自语的呢喃，主角的迷茫，关于救赎与被救赎。广濑铃演技爆炸了，看得我都哭出来了，横滨流星也演出了伤心欲绝的失恋人，家暴的表情也相当真实。村长躺在水里哭的一幕也催泪满满。村长最后一脱是本片的高潮也是结局，太瘦了，多吃点吧
横滨流星终于突破了，可惜为这种电影不值得。
要不是感冒发烧，我都不会无聊地刷到这部网大片，居然忍不住打了五星。本片虽然处处在学别人，例如 学罗生门，学“饥荒”，学人性，学反转，但关键都学到点子上了，还运用了民国那段比较独特的历史衬托。虽然有些许尿点，但觉得是好电影。
绝对是非常优秀的网大啊，放到网大里完全可以打五星了，志怪故事对现实的折射，多线并行，虽说最后平行的圆满世界有一些平淡，但立意真的非常不错了，感觉比很多院线都强了。
网大中的佼佼者，拍成这样已经很不容易了，导演鬼才。在有限的资金里拍成这样，说明已经挖空了心思，说不定日后这导演能起飞。
高分是给它的用心，网大拍成这样还要什么自行车？

你信吗？
或许是一个好故事，可惜电影难以共情。画面是美的
能看出剧本还是费了一番功夫。
剧本可以，完成度也不错。前面假装有鬼的段落也是这几年大陆恐怖片里可以排最前面了。和这个环境下同类型的大陆片比较当然值得好好夸一下。
导演是有野心的想拍一个罗生门的故事，但是功力尚浅 故事给人的整体感觉就是不完整 最后一段把整个故事变成了民间怪谈，前面一切的不合理也就合理了 。但是也会让观众构筑了那么久的故事框架直接崩塌 ，弊大于利 总体来说作为网大还算一个比较合格的作品了
剧作够接地气了 就是表演略油腻 一点都不山村
比鬼怪更恐怖的是人心，比人心更恐怖的是审查制度
不太清楚结尾的一段走马灯是迫于审查添加的伟光正还是导演设计的超现实，至少彩蛋告诉了我们创作者的态度。电影使用罗生门叙事和各种插叙，但是最终呈现出的效果仅仅是形成了一个闭环的复杂故事，大多数部分并没有同类型电影的豁然开朗感，陆产恐怖网大我比较喜欢的是《鬼吹灯之黄皮子坟》
老崔挺高产的。还是那个“可怕的不是鬼而是人心”的内核。
本片改编自凪良汐小说作品，广濑饰演9岁时遭到绑架的“被害人”家内更纱，横滨流星饰演更纱的未婚夫。而松坂则将扮演当时的“加害者”大学生佐伯文。多部饰演接近佐伯文的护士谷步
