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.
一个狠，一个韧。PS：枪战和动作的设计，真是一塌糊涂啊。
没了役所广司的续集，狼性果然不足，游走于黑白两道之间的游刃感降级了，只靠年轻演员耍帅斗狠还是差了点儿意思，当然村长和铃木亮平的表演没啥问题，要赖只能赖文戏写得直白应付，反派尤其没头没脑。
失去役所广司后连格局都缩水了，最后变成单挑把我整无语了；秃头搭档和小报记者这两个角色其实有点意思，但也没有深挖，纷纷变成工具人！现在只能指望《黑道与家族》不要让我失望了...
So so lovely sweet!!!童话故事般的美好啊！
狗的演技比小鲜肉好door啦！ 真人故事比电影有意思哈哈哈
松坂桃李可以啊，在没有役所广司的情况下，没有烂尾，并继承了前作的好多特色，浓浓的复古风，阴谋阳谋的乱局，黑道白道灰色地带。反派塑造地太凶残了，不像黑道大哥，更像个变态杀手。
现在能让血液澎湃的电影不多了，两部都不错。
比第一部流畅好看，役所广司那么用力的演法已经太沉重过时了，松坂桃李就是新时代的演技咖，完全可以驾驭角色，这个烟枪两面派警察，游走帮派之间做平衡器，而失去自我的故事。
断指冰锥上位，挖眼狗笼发家，这集恶警水平低，二五仔也不易做，密探套话出卖，记者爆料反击；这边的老大，怎么刚开战你就去深情追条子了？借枪杀人打个平手。极道疯子极恶？体制官僚极恶。说好孤狼之血，就必须真出现一只孤狼；虽然没有役所广司压场，但至少不像第一集那样前后比较割裂，感觉还成吧
最后得知片中的露比，现实中的比尔，也是收容犬，还是露比的好朋友，很是惊喜
狗狗很好🥺🥺谁能拒绝这么乖的狗狗
没有难看呀！看大家之前的评论，真有点想打退堂鼓了，但很好看，就是很感人又纯粹的电影，喜欢这只狗狗，喜欢他的主人，喜欢他的妻子，喜欢周围围绕的一群善良的人们。这个世界太缺乏正能量了，还是真实案例改编的电影，看完就是心中很暖的感觉，有被疗愈到。
中文译名想象力太丰富了，本身就是小故事，没必要整个那么大的帽子。电影就是讲Ruby成为正式搜救犬的故事，本身不复杂，也谈不上多精彩
一个动人的真实故事，一个默默无闻支持丈夫的妻子，一对互相成长、互相成就的搭档，构成了这部震撼人心，引人共鸣的电影。
前半段略微平淡，后半段就紧凑起来了。出狱的疯子成了黑帮老大，帮派战争再次开启。
而是人有问题
我哈哈哈哈哈哈哈我看到结尾狼出来的时候自动串到了了不起的狐狸爸爸，还带着那个感染天灵盖的bgm，笑死
冲突是下雨，和解是晴天，失踪是午夜，寻到是黎明。在动物电影里也算不上好的。
电影就像是八十年代老美国片，没有掺杂意识形态，单纯的就是讲积极向上，克服困难，励志又有爱，再加上还是真实故事改编，简单的讲一个好故事，看完还挺感动的，羡慕男主有这么体贴的妻子，一直都默默的鼓励着他，身体力行的支持着他 PS闪电侠的印象太深刻，总是觉得他随时都要起飞
就觉得没有大上了还拍什么续集呢，果然，孤狼无可替代。有感觉到白石导演第二部的野心，卡司更瞩目了角色更多了剧情更凹了，自然难免形象也更模糊推进也更强行。哎为什么这种黑道片最后总要来肉搏啊，搏就搏吧暴虐狠人boss竟然输给受伤还俩手铐在一起的男主，真是看得我终于困了。。村长终于突破自我然而又被铃木亮平压制也是。挺难的😢
