本片描写在美国的德克萨斯州，上了年纪的农场主和他的儿子赫德两代人的价值观和道德观有着明显的分歧，表现了美国具有反抗精神的现代青年的观念和生活状况。保罗·纽曼在此片中将罪孽深重的哈德，诠释得淋漓尽致，获得当年奥斯卡最佳男主角的提名，后来虽败给了西德尼·波蒂埃的《Lilies of the Field 》，但奥斯卡还是将最佳女主角颁给了帕德里夏·妮尔、茂文·道格拉斯拿下了最佳男配角，另外还获得了最佳摄影奖。

Ran (Shimamura) comes to Japan, and makes an immediate impression by assassinating a Yakuza boss and his associates, while they dine in a restaurant. Escaping the scene, she hides out in the restaurant owned by Yoichi (Yamato), and thanks him for covering for her with her body. About three hours later – or maybe it just seems that way – she moves on with the rest of her mission, which is to extract revenge on those responsible for the death of her sister. To this end, she works at the same hostess club as her late sibling, and waits for opportunity to present itself. However, the remaining target (Hakruyu), aware of his peril, kidnaps Ran’s friend Chun Li, and uses her to lure Ran out of the darkness.
