Hud Bannon (Newman) is ambitious and self-centered, the opposite of his deeply principled rancher father Homer (Douglas). Also living on the Bannon ranch is Hud's teenaged nephew, Lonnie (Brandon deWilde), who looks up to both men, but is most impressed by Hud. Lonnie and Hud are attracted to the Bannons' housekeeper, Alma (Patricia Neal). Although she is attracted to Hud, Alma keeps her distance because she has been mistreated in the past by men like him.....

Paul Newman as Hud Bannon, the arrogant, self-centered son of rancher Homer Bannon: To prepare for the role, Newman worked for 10 days on a Texas ranch, sleeping in a bunkhouse.[3] For his Texas accent, he was coached by Bob Hinkle, who coached James Dean for his role as Jett Rink in Giant.[4]
Melvyn Douglas as Homer Bannon: Hud's father, Lonnie's grandfather, and owner of the Bannon ranch:[5] Although Paramount was doubtful about casting him due to his heart condition, Martin Ritt insisted that he was the right actor for the role.[6]
Brandon deWilde as Lonnie Bannon, Hud's teenaged nephew who idolizes him: DeWilde, a former child actor, was best known at the time for his award-winning role in Shane.[7]
Patricia Neal as Alma Brown, the Bannons' housekeeper: Ritt decided to cast Neal (whom he had met at the Actors Studio) when he was impressed by her performance in The Untouchables episode "The Maggie Storm Story". The actress signed for $30,000;[5] although she had third billing and 22 minutes of screen time, the film had a major impact on her career.[8]

Hud, a texasi farmer a marhahatenyésztő apjával, Homerrel, és az őrá felnéző unokaöccsével él. A férfi nem törődik a hagyományokkal, csak az ivás és a szerelmi kalandok érdeklik, az apja őt tartja felelősnek a másik fia haláláért. Amikor száj- és körömfájás járvány tör ki a teheneik között, Hud ki akarja játszani a törvényt. Homer azonban elrendeli a marhák leölését, ami tovább élezi kettejük ellentétét. Az indulatok akkor törnek felszínre, amikor Hud megpróbálja megerőszakolni a házvezetőnőt.
