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.
I am Vengeance,I am the night,I am batman.Something in the way.
戈登局长的选角极其失败，先不说为了ZZZQ，光是他唯唯诺诺缩头缩脑的样子，哪里有一丝罪恶之都警员的样子。
这片影调很对，但错在蝙蝠侠用黑色侦探片（尚不算黑色电影）的路数来做，Why？侦探片是普通人乃至边缘人在破案中遭遇的各种挫折来达成真相求索和个体性格的塑造，甚至有很多与欲达到的正义理想截然相反的落差和落寞（《七宗罪》和《沉默的羔羊》），但蝙蝠侠无坚不克的超级英雄身份将这一趣味性（在人性未知的疆域游走探索）破坏殆尽，因为大家都知道蝙蝠侠是不死的，也是正义的，那么用这一固化的身份标签做出的就是僵化的剧情套路，可以说，电影前段那些愚蠢的破案过程让我昏昏欲睡，只有涉及到蝙蝠侠的真正弱点——关心他人时，才略有趣味起来。这点，诺兰就懂从哪里入手开展一个有效的编剧正反馈，不知比里夫斯高明哪里去了，相反的镜像，《小丑》对于自我矫正的失败也是正确的编剧入手路数，他是不会关心他人或大众的，主题焦点在变态过程中。
这么多篇幅在一部谍战片里表现爱情，在1980年以前-1949这个时代都是极为罕见的。50年代曾经有几年是国产片的一个小黄金时段。
吐槽一句，哥谭真是多灾多难，明明是城市，却总要发洪水，动不动爆炸，天塌地陷，然后再重建…
资料馆4k彩色修复，剧情略单薄了些。新拍的电视剧主演确实和孙老师好像。
太中意这种阴暗风格的电影了，罗伯特·帕丁森从今往后值得拥有名字，我再也不叫他嫩牛五方了……DC的超级英雄这么拍就对了
影片根据革命烈士李白的事迹改编，是一部优秀的反映我党地下工作题材的电影。孙道临在片中扮演的李侠的形象深入人心。
风格上更像恐怖片，不像超英，也不像推理。罗伯特演这个蝙蝠侠别说还挺有内味儿，少爷感和颓废感都很不错，大本还是老了点。猫女的头套太丑了，看着也没有海瑟薇顺眼。
毫无疑问是纯粹的电影，现实英雄主义的黑色电影，采用侦探悬疑风格。潮湿雨夜，血色腐烂，为整个哥谭定下基调。
和我想象的差很多，好的差，坏的也差！ 好的是我居然没想到，修复的居然这么好，这色彩鲜明，靓丽！但景深部分与细节还是差一些！背景尤其绿植与墙上壁画这类物体，在人物移动之时都有变化。也许是我们的技术还没精细到区块，仍旧是局部的微调。另外结尾加了片尾演职滚动与片尾曲！ 不好的差是，本以为通篇全彩，结果开头演职人员的背景与影片结束时蓝天白云逐渐褪色，恢复黑白，或许是有意为之，但为什么不做到底呢？也许自有其道理。 整体还是非常棒的体验，因为太惊喜！
对DC系列到刮目相看的程度：
某馆这修复的啥，且不说黑白电影转彩色就是对黑白电影的不尊重，你这把还没修复完的残次品放出来是什么意思。一星给孙道临。
A rather mediocre war-time spy thriller
女主成长线，男主事业线都不错。叙事节奏明快，结尾运用蒙太奇手法很巧妙。521看红色电影真有你的
感觉这部挺返璞归真的，带有黑色电影风格的侦探探案是最还原漫画里的哥谭都市。好家伙！我就说为什么这部的视听和镜头语言如此独特。原来和《沙丘》的摄影指导Greig Fraser是同一个，在蝙蝠车那一段的雨夜追车爆炸片段能把观众都吃了。
摄影、美术、光效、剪辑都很棒。表演尬，男主两眼空洞，故作深沉的嗓音，像成天穿着蝙蝠装的异装癖警察到处拽，女主走路实在讨打。1.5倍速都嫌慢。最后那段高举火炬，众人跟随，象征灯塔的戏把我看笑了，蠢傻的设计。2022·3·19 7.8/2.49万 短评1.64万条 %71/20/9 大陆上映2天票房2300万。大陆上映34天1.44亿。截止 2022·4·20 7.5/18万 短评7.67万 %64/26/10 【IMDb8.2/3.57万，北美票房3.65亿美元，全球票房7.52亿美元】
不喜欢科幻不喜欢超英，于是这部拍法更像悬疑惊悚片的新蝙蝠侠正中我下怀。影片中频繁利用镜头运动和切换让观众的视角在英雄和反派之间游移，有时仿佛跟在蝙蝠侠身后走入一个黑暗的房间，视觉盲区隐匿杀机的不祥之感比恐怖片还叫人胆寒；时而视角随着企鹅倾覆的车子转了180°，英雄“倒立”走来俯下身的场景让观者体验了一把蝙蝠侠对于坏人而言又是怎样一个恐惧的化身，精妙点题。将近3小时的电影，在明确的故事主线和思想暗线交织下拍得丝毫不散，完成度很高，意犹未尽。
又名《布鲁斯·韦恩的罗夏日记》。写实超英风，文艺青年蝙。 摄影很牛，雨中哥谭既复古又赛博朋克。音乐魔性，除了主BGM，本片非常热衷使用循环段落来做配乐/音效，看完保准脑子里嗡嗡嗡嗡响。 如果作为硬汉派侦探电影不算合格。这个故事根本没必要如此拖沓，有些环节慢但没有抽丝剥茧感，有些关键转折点又很降智，突然自己就招了要你啥用。 剥去超英题材的幻想色彩而置入现实框架，本身是值得尝试的，我一度觉得这版蝙蝠侠和《小丑》联动天作之合。但如果老爷是个蹩脚侦探、没钱也没科技的旧贵族、时而有气无力时而无能狂怒的嗑药般的烟熏妆男，（传递给我的）情感主调甚至是焦虑和抑郁，同时却能成为“正义英雄”、“复仇使者”，那可太不合现实了。 总体像锅套IP皮的大杂烩。一位普通到没有过人之处的蝙蝠侠。拍挺特别下次别拍了。
那时候的国产片就爱往里面塞各种各样高昂的歌曲。
