Conflict arises when the ranch faces a crisis involving a potential outbreak of hoof-and-mouth disease. Hud’s irresponsibility and disregard for ethical behavior create tension within the family as they grapple with difficult decisions.

“A novel is both a story and a piece of writing. A movie is a story and a piece of filmmaking.”
