This classic revisionist western explores complex familial relationships as well as the pitfalls of modern capitalism by following the daily life of Hud Bannon (Paul Newman), a young Texas rancher who lives with his cattleman father Homer (Melvyn Douglas) and his hero-worshipping nephew Lon (Brandon DeWilde). Though Hud is an amoral, cold-hearted man, he was celebrated as an iconic anti-hero to the countercultural youth audiences of the 1960s. Winner of Best Actress (Patricia Neal), Best Actor (Melvyn Douglas) and nominated for Best Actor (Paul Newman) and Best Director at the **Academy Awards**. Nominated for Best Motion Picture - Drama, Best Director, and Best Actor - Drama (Paul Newman) at the **Golden Globes**. Winner of Best Foreign Actress (Patricia Neal) at the **BAFTA Awards**. Nominated for the Golden Lion at the **Venice Film Festival**. *"The four principal actors -- Newman, Neal, Douglas, and de Wilde -- are so good that they might well form the nucleus of a cinematic repertory company." - **TIME Magazine***
