Hard-drinking, arrogant, womanizing Hud Bannon lives a self-centered, indolent life supported by his hard-working and morally upstanding father, Homer, on the family cattle ranch in Texas. Hud's teenage nephew, Lonnie, blames Hud for the car crash that took the life of his father, Hud's older brother Norman, but shows hints of following in his ne'er-do-well uncle's footsteps when both men pursue family housekeeper Alma .
