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.
当人类小孩是圣母也就算了，海兽也能是圣母，也只有圣母遇到圣母才能活，有一方不是圣母都是嘎嘎死
话面美爆了，角色激萌。人设故事幼稚老套到恶心也没讲清楚扣一星。不动脑子的养眼佳作
全片看的中配，比预期的要好啊～ 大人和孩子在其中都能找到快乐的一部电影。我比较喜欢小蓝～ 对统治阶级的讽刺注定会让一些人不顺眼，但是这更是加分项～ 小女孩黑皮也没什么不好，反正我是看怪兽的。来豆瓣看演职员表，居然发现有oi侠。。。
技术和画面让这个无聊故事有了点看头，在动画片里做政治表达很不容易，但实在太低龄
就是一个缝合怪!!!毫无新意，至于美术，真的可以说是毫无美感，作为主角的红海兽，还没有紫螃蟹设计的繁复，个别评论也好意思吹一波“美术精美画面顶级”？剧情也跳的一逼，基本20分钟一集那种，好多迷思最后都没有给予解答，还有人说本片完整？连故事都没讲完整，哪儿完整了？这剧情的人物关系东一锤子西一棒子的，人人，人兽之间的感情线来的莫名其妙，2个小时愣是没有一分钟能让人感到“温馨/热血/搞笑/爽/感动”任意一词的，全程白开水，真是隔行如隔山，网飞一个做电视剧发家的，动画电影从来就没让人惊艳过，优秀电影也是屈指可数，果然是个短 平 快影视小能手。（别提爱死机器人，它归类电视剧）
喜欢的演员喜欢的故事喜欢的叙事。
网飞的大拼盘电影，第一幕大量铺垫了猎人们的人物性格和人物关系，结果第三幕一个都没利用起来。小女孩强行嘴炮起义太不合理，要是国王和王后利用海兽安排了什么触动民众利益的大阴谋，最后被揭穿遭万民唾弃也就罢了，居然处理得如此低幼。红色巨兽不知道是不是在内涵什么，西方统治阶级妖魔化无害的巨兽来攫取利益，很容易让人联想到一些现实
网飞做出来的呀，静态场景还不错，合格的儿童片
这部电影简直就是巨物恐惧症+深海恐惧症的双倍福利！虽然中心主题是与自然和谐相处及反专制皇权，但种族平等、性别平等的元素还是清晰可见的，像女猎人、女将军，甚至是雌海兽都是很有魅力的角色，影片整体偏套路化，但是海兽都还挺可爱的，尤其是小蓝[我也想要一个.jpg]！
十分工整的故事，就是剧情有点简单了，全片由5场海战戏串联，场场精彩纷呈，主角海兽-焰魔，有点像张了角的蛇颈龙，单看头部很像大蟒蛇，发起狠来也挺恐怖的，但平常状态又很萌，人类一族与海兽一族，数百年的仇恨皆因国王的野心，而且国王还准备对海兽猎人卸磨杀驴，真是讽刺啊，估计主创不愿太沉重，所以都点到为止，执着于仇恨的船长并没有变化醒悟，而那个厉害的老巫婆会如何讨债，最后也没交代。轻轻松松的一部消暑故事，一群海兽萌翻夏天。
结局太伟光正了点
动画的制作水平很高，但后半部分剧情直接稀烂，毫无逻辑可言
很棒！回忆青春题材，形式比较新颖，显得没有古典的深情，但也是时代的气息吧。柔弱容易受伤的气质啊。音乐也很棒。情感浓度
和老婆在“为啥海兽鼻孔不进水”这个细节上争论了很久
-你的裙子真可爱-我自己拿水彩笔画的。莎莉妹子牺牲挺大。碎布拼成的小背心，人声喧嚷的唱片店，奇怪的涂鸦，哪怕一事无成，那个夏天在心里却似乎永远不会完结…尾崎丰的《I LOVE YOU》真好听，歌词真有趣！
这样的动画才像样嘛。1080P 22/07/09
海洋版“驯龙高手”，可可爱爱bule and red！
友情提示：深海恐惧症患者请不要尝试观看此片哦(๑•ᴗ•๑)
剧本太牵强了，转变的很快（无论是人还是海兽），最后结尾更加是潦草的没有逻辑。
太老套了 不适合成年人观看 一个六岁的小女孩动摇了一个二十多岁一直坚持的信念
