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.
只值三星，剧情实在是太ooc，看的时候非常出戏，很多地方完全不能承接原著和游戏，纯粹是为了凑电影而改编(游戏本来就非ooc了)。但许多处理又很好地致敬游戏和原著(比如刻意解释了凯尔莫汗的城墙为什么在某处会有个大缺口)，使得粉丝群体看到后会非常舒适。电影对世界观有一定补充(我还是忍不住吐槽，二创太离谱了)，不能说导演和编剧没有仔细研究过原设，加之打戏出色，所以勉强给个四星。只能说风格上很好地还原了小说里那种特有的中东欧气息，把小说里因历史原因、人种混杂和政治斗争所导致社会恐慌与狭隘偏见表现出来(游戏反而没做到)--看的时候除了维瑟米尔和老情人外的所有角色都引人憎恨，但是到了结局又只能感叹这都是群可悲的、活在仇恨与过往中的“怪物”。
不得不说动画表现比剧版强多了，虽然剧情一般
@tiff中规中矩吧 确实是挑不出什么特别大的毛病 也挑不出特别大的优点。不过台湾drama的片子近年来太多 确实是很少有这种拍家庭的题材，但又基于少女的成长历程
没看过原著，没看过美剧，没玩过游戏……但最后湖边，男主抱着死去的年老女主，真的很感人……
So beautiful. It doesn't seem real.被击中了。。
林嘉欣，很漂亮
虽然电影院里不时传出窸窸窣窣的哭泣声，但感觉也就仅限于好哭…感觉很多没有深入聊，只是一笔带过。
打戏和音乐看得我浑身战栗狠狠爽到，剧情有点落入俗套但结尾还是和维瑟米尔一起流泪。最难以置信的是本利维亚牌王童年居然是光头？
So beautiful. It doesn't seem real.被击中了。。
现在终于知道杰洛特为啥强了，并非他是猎魔人，而因为他小时候是光头。动画的表现还是要比TV版好一些，不太考虑原著的话我觉得成品已经足够优秀了。毕竟对比看看哥斯拉环太平洋这些奶飞动画拍成了什么狗屎。
平稳叙事，真情实感。母女吵架，父亲打了女儿一巴掌和拿衣架打女儿、女儿在马场对着白马哭诉、父亲得知小女儿没事后在楼道间掩面落泪，这三场戏都令我动容。
动画电影明显要比剧版好上很多，风格上接近恶魔城四部曲，但与之相比人物塑造以及打斗画面要更优秀。女术士Tetra长相与服饰都好像隔壁上古卷轴的Serana，高颜值“恶女”最后也有幸在血腥乱斗中留个全尸，最好笑是彩蛋里的面瘫光头小男孩竟然是Geralt，好久没有体验到这种看网飞能从始至终保持快乐的感觉了。
很片面，又很写实。围绕着夫妻，姐妹，母女，父女，家庭多维度的情感脉络。减弱了所有的戏剧冲突，用尽可能生活化的情绪状态来表现故事。
维瑟米尔也太可以了吧以及为啥杰洛特小时候是个光头啊喂！
情节紧凑，战斗爽快，杰洛特最后出场了。。。
好久没看过打斗这么流畅的动画了，运镜也到位，之前网飞拍的巫师真人剧把我搞得对这动画没什么期待，但是看过才觉得真不错。说实话巫师还是拍动画吧，别搞真人剧了，明明动画搞得那么优秀。剧情方面来说有些单薄，有些逻辑不太能讲通，但是讲述了维瑟米尔性格转变的原因，人物更立体形象了，以及补充了巫师世界里面狼派的历史，冲突也设计得也比较到位，比较满意吧。另外维瑟米尔年轻的时候可真不比杰洛特差，帅是真的帅，不过为啥没有和女术士打桩呢?
三星半。有像学生作品一样的刻意之处，也有细致入微的共感时刻。最重要的是在整部压抑的氛围中确实把母女间的爱与自私拍出来了，林嘉欣演得好～
整体还挺普通的。只是一些很细微又很真实存在的困境。
带有鲜明西方玄幻的猎魔人，给人不一样的感觉，动作戏和魔法比较出彩，动画版听着英文怪别扭的，话说弓箭女的魔法门有些类似奇异博士的传送门
除了一些小部分转折有点生硬，总体很不错的说
