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.
CGR的小黄人马拉松活动，冒着暴雨看到了超前点映的《小黄人2》。作为香蕉之歌倒背如流的本系列粉丝来说，电影本身令我失望，盲猜豆瓣评分6开头。就算只为可爱制作续集，电影架构中的清粥和小菜还是难颠倒，这一部，反而作为小菜的格鲁更可爱些。几年前无论如何也想不到续集会是中国主题的，不过意料之中把元素用得非常肤浅无聊。以及体会到了《救猫咪》中为什么说不要出现两个反派——不是不要出现，而是真的容易把节奏把控烂。
感觉是春节档的作品强行压到暑假了…可爱是挺可爱，有的地方也很好笑，但从变身开始…全场男女老少华人洋人全给干沉默了。直接变成，“啊？”无可啊…算了算了
感觉好短，也可能是喝了酒的缘故，好像才看了一刻钟就结束了
比起前一部综合来说有些普通了 特别是小黄人最擅长的大合唱这次也没有令人印象深刻的
不知是不是第一部里小黄人单干没有卑鄙的我系列效果好的原因，所以第二部又把Gru加回来了，剧情确实要丰富一些，还多了一个新小黄人otto。本来想打和前几部一样的三星，多的一星是小黄人们用无辜大眼求来的
极多中国元素，密集到恶搞
主创太鸡贼了，知道之前最受欢迎的角色是两只眼的胖胖可爱bob，索性来一个更胖更呆萌的角色otto，故事还是minions系列的低幼向，但本小黄人脑残粉只想说，谁能抗拒这！么！可！爱！的！东！西！没有故事看它们卖萌一集我也会全程痴汉脸的，可爱可以拯救世界！
可爱就完事了！去电影院之前没看预告，看到中国元素还蛮惊喜的
没想到中国元素这么多，中文片头曲听着想笑。🥺十二生肖的小黄人依旧可爱🥺开头结尾大家都在鼓掌
环球往电影里加了巨多中国元素，片头曲都是中文的。至于为什么被毙掉了，我能大概猜出几个原因，如果是十二生肖的原因的话，只能说环球虽然加了中国元素还是没摸透一些东西。其实吧，动画片嘛，搞笑就完事儿了哈哈哈
小黄人电影真的久违了，一瞬间梦回童年。
Watched with Ursin in Melbourne crown village, Chinese background, very good one

和老弟在电影院看的第一部电影，虽然中间老弟因为时差睡着了。中国元素好评！Chinese New Year好评！
牙套萌神是亮点，主要看他憨憨的执著。其他有小黄人的内容都很好笑。但是故事本身真没啥深度，而且大部分时候都过于夸张、嬉闹。特别是当男主角一心想当坏人时，如果没看过之前的电影，真的有点难跟孩子解释，这个片子里究竟谁是好人谁是坏人，感觉除了牙套萌神外，其他的都有点不老实lol
小黄人星星眼谁能拒绝呢
90分钟还是把所有讲的东西都讲清楚了，热热闹闹的合家欢，中国元素和小黄人的耍宝也有所展现
前半童年回忆 后半中华风 承接上作复古风 funkdisco赛高 十二生肖新解 以恶制恶 只有更爽 内核仍是一些成年人懂的真善美 笑点不断完全克制不住hhh 彩蛋是小黄人卖萌博士趟不住只得臣服乖乖入伙XD
格鲁的童年偶像及三小只拜师那点事 开飞机那段笑死 十二生肖变身有点帅 今年外国动画酷爱中国元素
融入12生肖和中国功夫+好多隐藏彩蛋+密集笑点
