''Nevada Smith'' is a 1966 American Western film in Eastmancolor and Panavision directed by Henry Hathaway and starring Steve McQueen. The film was made by Embassy Pictures and Solar Productions, in association with and released by Paramount Pictures. The movie was a prequel to the novel by Harold Robbins, ''The Carpetbaggers'', which had been made into a highly successful film two years earlier, with Alan Ladd playing McQueen's part as an older man. The supporting cast of ''Nevada Smith'' comprises Karl Malden, Brian Keith, Martin Landau, Arthur Kennedy, Suzanne Pleshette, Pat Hingle and Paul Fix. ==Plot== In the West of the 1890s, a trio of outlaws, Bill Bowdre (Arthur Kennedy), Jesse Coe (Martin Landau) and Tom Fitch (Karl Malden), robs, tortures and brutally kills the white father and Indian mother of young Max Sand (Steve McQueen). Max sets out to avenge their deaths. Fitch keeps a tobacco pouch made from the breast of Max's mother, that contains a piece of beaded deerskin from her shirt. Max uses this clue to help him find the men. Max cannot read or write and is not skilled with a gun. He fails to rob Jonas Cord, Sr. (Brian Keith), a traveling gunsmith. Cord recognizes that Max's revolver is not loaded and is too old and rusty to be useful. Cord takes pity on Max, feeds him and teaches him how to shoot. Max hunts the killers, who have separated. With the help of saloon girl Neesa (Janet Margolin), a woman from the same tribe as his mother, he tracks down Jesse Coe in an Abilene, Texas saloon and kills him in a knife fight. Max is wounded, and Neesa takes him to her tribe's camp, where she cares for his wounds and becomes his lover. After recovering, Max leaves Neesa to continue his pursuit. He commits a robbery and deliberately gets caught so that he will be sent to the prison where Bowdre is serving time. Pilar (Suzanne Pleshette), a Cajun girl working in the rice fields near the convicts’ camp, gives Max comfort and finds a boat to help him escape through the swamps. Max lets Bowdre join them and murders Bowdre along the way. The boat capsizes and Pilar dies from a snake bite. Still blinded by revenge, Max pursues Fitch, the last of the murderers. He infiltrates Fitch's gang, calling himself "Nevada Smith". Fitch is aware that Max Sand is out there somewhere, waiting to ambush him. Though he accepts Sand into the gang, Fitch is wary of him. When the gang sets out to commit a robbery, Sand is spotted by Cord. Cord calls him by name but Sand ignores him and the gang rides on. During the robbery, Fitch suspects that one of his men is Sand. He warns them that he will kill any man who makes a mistake. The rest of the gang greedily scoops up the gold but Sand stands on a hill and watches them. Fitch realizes that "Smith" is Sand, drops his share of the gold and flees. Sand pursues him and corners Fitch at a creek. The men exchange fire and Fitch surrenders but Sand continues to fire non-fatal shots into Fitch. The outlaw begs to be killed but Max decides that Fitch is not worth killing and rides away. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Nevada Smith」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
