Nevada Smith


Nevada Smith is a story about a boy named Max Sand (Steve McQueen) whose father was white and mother Kiowa Indian were terribly killed by three bandits when he was young. (Not that young actually, more like a teenager) Since he had nobody else left, he wanted to take revenge for his parents by hunting those three men and killing them all and what he got with him were only a gun, a horse and 8 bucks in his pocket. On the way to his success, Max did everything he possibly could to find those men. He was stolen his horse and his gun by three strangers. Later a guy named Jonas Cord, whom at first he was trying to rob (with an old, rusted short gun he found in the sand), saved his life by giving him food and teaching him how to shoot a gun. Once he killed the first murderer Jesse Coe, with help of a Kiowa girl named Neesa, he kinda threw himself into jail by attempting to rob a bank in New Orleans so he could meet the Kiowa Indians lived in this part. They all spoke perfectly American English as well.) Anyways, after already killed Bowdre while escaping from the jail in the swamp, Max went all the way back to the west (Nevada), where he changed his name as Nevada Smith, again to find the last murderer Tom Fitch and finished him there. He didn’t practically kill Fitch. He just shot him a couple of times and left him on the river bank so he could feel all the pains and torture his parents felt before they got killed and hung. What I also learn from this movie is that acting in the past kinda sucks. LOL It doesn’t really seem real or natural or whatever. But anyways, you guys should watch this movie I suggest and you’ll all like it.

Steve McQueen! What more can want from a movie?

Pretty good comments. Your summary was good and I appreciated your thoughts on what you thought about the movie.

It is really kinda silly but full of action. Couldn't get much out of the Indian side of ole Max. He was more white than Indian.

I liked the gun dealer. He was also one of my favorite actors - Brian Keith.

OK job.
