Hud - Neo Western
Morally complex western where a selfish antihero clashes with his family over principles and land.
Hud Bannon, a morally questionable Texan, lives with his aging father, Homer, and his nephew, Lonnie, on their ranch. As Hud’s reckless and self-serving behavior creates tension within the family, Lonnie is forced to confront his own moral beliefs. The conflict escalates when a scandalous secret about the family’s ranch is revealed. The film delves into themes of generational conflict, personal responsibility, and the clash between idealism and cynicism.
