A vintage movie poster of ''Nevada Smith'', a 1966 Western film directed by Henry Hathaway and starring Steve McQueen in the title role. The film is loosely based on the character Max Sand from Harold Robbins' novel "The Carpetbaggers" and its sequel, "The Raiders." It's considered a Western revenge drama.

The story follows the character of Max Sand, who adopts the name Nevada Smith after witnessing the brutal murder of his parents by three outlaws. Determined to seek revenge, Nevada Smith embarks on a relentless journey to track down and confront the men responsible for his family's tragedy.

As he hunts down each of the killers, Nevada Smith encounters a variety of characters and situations that test his mettle and shape his character. Along the way, he learns valuable skills, including gunfighting and tracking, which aid him in his quest for vengeance.

Steve McQueen delivers a strong performance as Nevada Smith, capturing the character's determination and evolution as he seeks justice. The film's action sequences and Western landscapes contribute to its appeal to fans of the genre.

"Nevada Smith" is noted for its gritty portrayal of the Old West and its exploration of themes such as justice, vengeance, and the cost of pursuing one's enemies. While it may not be as well-known as some other Western classics, it remains a notable entry in Steve McQueen's filmography and a solid addition to the Western genre of the 1960s.
