Hello,
An engine can overheat due to a number of factors.
It could be due to an inoperative cooling fan, clog in the cooling system that is preventing the coolant from circulation. It can also overheat simply due to being low on coolant.
Do you know if the fan comes on when the vehicle is at operating temperature?
Here is a helpful guide that covers the typical overheating issues:

Did the vehicle overheat just like this before replacing the radiator, water pump and thermostat?
Are there any other symptoms? Like smoke out of the tailpipe or other issues?
Please let me know a few more details.
Thank you.
