The movie was a prequel to the novel The Carpetbaggers by Harold Robbins, which had been made into a film earlier that featured McQueen's character as an older man, but besides that and Nevada Smith depicting Smith's first meeting with another Carpetbaggers character, Jonas Cord Sr., the two films' stories are otherwise unrelated. The cast is rounded out by Karl Malden, Brian Keith, Arthur Kennedy, Suzanne Pleshette, and Martin Landau.In the West of the 1890s, a trio of outlaws robs, tortures and brutally kills the white father and Indian mother of young Max Sand (McQueen). He later sets out to avenge their deaths, assuming the name "Nevada Smith".

Easily Forgiven: Max bumps into three men. He thinks that they are the murderers of his parents, so he chases their horses away. The men catch him and Max fights them. When Max is finally defeated, the men forgive him quickly and even share a meal with him. Later, in the desert, Max holds a man at gunpoint to force him to give him a horse and some food. The man does not give in, since he noticed that Max's gun is an old one which does not work any more. Then he forgives Max, he gives him food and he teaches him how to use a gun.
