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.
只记得爆爆柠檬和鬼冢虎，朱莉，凯特，斯嘉丽，玛丽，下一个谁？
题材和故事不新鲜，甚至相似度极高，杀手女主的身手也其实一般，动作戏套招明显，被利用以及全家被端，元素都是别人用剩的，好在是节奏把控的不错，挽救了此片
Ani是亮点。女主有动漫感，开场知道女主片尾一定会死的片子还是第一次看……
打戏很强，剧情很弱，不如给国村隼多点戏份。
也没有啥情节，也不需什么情节，就是看里面的打打杀杀。#20210918
一位名叫凯特的职业女杀手在日本的一次行动中失手，随后被注射了致命的钋-204，只剩下不到24小时的时间复仇。另一条副线是凯特与被她暗杀的一个黑帮骨干的女儿Ani的纠葛关系。
女杀手为报仇追杀黑帮大佬，遇上未成年女孩，和视若父亲的boss之间纠葛在生命的最后24小时之内迅速铺开，节奏紧凑让人根本无法分神，打戏一场接一场精彩绝伦。最后也是死得其所，爱和家族的传承和延续也让我有点感动。
超出预期，前期无脑爽，中期以宿命轮回的设定添一波小高潮，可惜后期又变回无脑爽，消解了设定带来的悲剧感。虽说总体还是john wick 那老一套，各方面也都算合格的爆米花。浅野忠信大酱油。
爽片，一个女杀手因为目标人物，最后和老师同归于尽的事故。
剧情上是杀死比尔，美术摄影是疾速追杀，合格的爽片
7分吧 老套的剧情 带感的搏斗场面 最后我是冲着哈里森看的片 才发现 哥们打了个酱油
演员卡司不行啊 达咩 抄安吉丽娜朱莉的特工绍特都没抄到精髓 抄查尔斯萨隆的极寒之地也是只有皮毛和元素的重复 完全就一烂片
情节过于简单，当成cult片看就还可以，部分打戏精彩，氛围塑造意义不大。
能看。动作戏爽快下饭，东京街头十分迷人，未来感十足，就像在马车8的赛博朋克地图，妹子可爱，其他乏善可陈。
類似的女殺手轉業的題材，銀河映像的《攝氏37.2》比這個好看多了。
文戏完全不能看，只能看打戏，两星，加一星给女演员MEW，毕竟是看着她长大的。
好莱坞投资下的日本韩国违法地带人设快定性到不能再定性 刻板印象了属于
救命简直浪费卡司和设定…欧美视角中潮湿阴暗加上过多的霓虹灯的日本，主线也无聊至极，仿佛在模仿杀死比尔和攻壳机动队但是没有这两者的任何优点，配角小女孩完全是美国熊孩子，找个真正的日本童星不香么
R级的爆头和火拼，阴谋论和女性意识都是这几年商业电影的流行词汇，似乎换上哪个大龄女演员演都一样，唯一能让人放心的是这股风潮肯定不会演变成8，90年代硬汉动作片的垃圾堆。
开头猜到结尾，星矢上身的女主角，不知道想要说啥。
