根据哈洛德.罗宾斯的原著改编,讲述白人与印第安的混血青年千里寻仇,逐一解决杀死他父母的三名枪手。本片是部典型的美国西部复仇影片,内容无甚新意,导演亨利.哈撒韦的手法略嫌沉闷,但史蒂夫.麦奎因、卡尔.莫尔登等演员在本片的演出都非常不俗,使得本片仍有不少的观众群。Nevada Smith is the young son of an Indian mother and white father. When his father and mother are killed by three men over gold, Nevada sets out to find them and kill them. The boy is taken in by a gun merchant. The gun merchant shows him how to shoot, to shoot on time, and to shoot straight. Everything that Nevada does goes to killing those three men. He learns to read and write just to learn their location. He pays people to tell him where they're at. He even goes to prison to kill one of them. While the movie is a Western and has plenty of action, it also takes a deep look into vengeance and how one can change after a haunting incident.
