Plots(1)
In this modern western Paul Newman plays Hud Bannon, a ruthless young Texas rancher who tarnishes everything and everyone he touches. There is bitter conflict between the callous Hud and his stern and highly principled father, Homer... Hud Bannon (Paul Newman) is a young Texas rancher who lives with his cattleman father Homer and his hero-worshipping nephew Lon. Hud is an amoral, cold-hearted creature; his father, who holds Hud responsible for the death of his other son, tries to imbue Lon with a sense of decency and responsibility to others, but Lon is devoted to Hud and isn't inclined to listen. When hoof and mouth disease shows up in one of the elder Bannon's cows, Hud is all for selling the herd before the government inspectors find out. But Homer orders the cattle destroyed (the film's most harrowing sequence), driving an even deeper wedge between himself and Hud. Finally, Hud steps over the line by attempting to rape Alma, the earthy but warm-hearted housekeeper. (Cinemax)
