Der Wildeste unter Tausend (1963)
Draufgänger Hud Bannon (Paul Newman), dessen Bruder einst bei einem von ihm verschuldeten Autounfall ums Leben kam, gerät immer wieder heftig mit seinem Vater (Melvyn Douglas) aneinander. Vergeblich versucht Hud, ihn vom lukrativen Ölgeschäft zu überzeugen – doch sein Vater will nichts davon wissen und weiter Rinder züchten. Als die gesamte Herde von einer Seuche befallen wird und getötet werden muss, steht die Existenz der Familie auf dem Spiel. Die Situation eskaliert und ein friedlicher Ausweg scheint unmöglich.
