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.
软磨硬泡田姐后，终于心愿达成。我也要和tyy认识5000集！
一切情感递进都在设计，一切都显得那么刻意，是一部好的国产动画但他不是电影，更不是一部好故事。
陪儿子看的，他自己已经反反复复看了几遍了……我不评分
哈哈
扩充了TV第15集的剧情，将战争的残酷和人性的光辉再一次展现在大银幕。有可能借鉴了GTO漫画的剧情吧，没看过不能下定论。希望这样的企划能更多些，或者干脆重制0079TV版，毕竟当年的韩国外包回的作画崩坏实在太影像观感了。另外，重制版登场的南十字星部队涂装样式的高机动扎古（MS06GD）实在太帅了！
和儿子一起看很开心
还是不错的，小时候的喜欢长大了也能共情体会到
（害 其实本身没五星的 但 以后还是想看的喜羊羊IP）
流畅的作画，流水的剧情，但有些地方明显凑数，例如那个传奇嘉宾期待沸羊羊的表现，我还以为有啥展开，结果就这？
挺燃挺能俘获篮球迷的喜欢。规则就讲的清晰，比赛还挺精彩。有点像之前俄罗斯篮球电影。对喜羊羊与灰太狼竟然是一伙的很好奇。还加了一些亲情关系友谊。大人看的话也可以。今年春节动画片整体不错。
“喜羊羊，我们认识多久了？” “大概五千多集了吧！ ”童年啊

3D和背景差着点
有的人表面上是喜羊羊，实际上还是洛洛，菠萝吹雪，天羽，雪皇，粗心超人，伽罗
居然有些小惊喜，本来准备睡一觉，很励志，适合小朋友，多加一颗星吧！
故事发生地点在广州，嘿嘿
整体水平的进步非常明显，画风摆脱了早期的状态，无论是分镜设计还是音乐穿插都显得很合适，剧情节奏的转变也符合观众心理，比我预想的更好。
好久好久没看过喜羊羊大电影系列，画风已经不是当年看的那种。最初动机无外春节前后只有这部风评相对不错，想去看但没人一块儿，今天下映看了一下，还是不错的，虽然篮球对于我这种半肥宅而言谈不上情怀，有些地方不明觉厉，就其情节设计和动画制作上值得推荐。
5000多集了吧。
