PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a hard film in which the adhesion, high temperature oxidation resistance and wear resistance of an (AlCr)N based film are improved, and which has high hardness in particular. SOLUTION: The hard film is formed by an arc-discharge ion-plating method, and has a composition represented by (Al<SB>x</SB>Cr<SB>1-x</SB>)(N<SB>1-α-β-γ</SB>B<SB>α</SB>C<SB>β</SB>O<SB>γ</SB>), wherein x,α,βandγare respectively atomic ratios meeting 0.45<X<0.75, 0≤α<0.12, 0≤β<0.20, and 0.01≤γ≤0.25, has the highest diffraction intensity in X-ray diffraction at a (200) face or a (111) face, and has bond energy of at least Cr and/or Al with oxygen in the range of 525 to 535 eV in X-ray photoelectron spectroscopic analysis.
