Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid are legendary outlaws in the waning days of the 19th-century Wild West, leading a gang of train robbers. But the frontier is disappearing, and the railroad—now a powerful corporation—sends a deadly posse to hunt them down. Drawing on their myth, director George Roy Hill crafts a stylish, genre-bending Western that tells the story from the bandits’ perspective. With irresistible chemistry between Paul Newman and Robert Redford, a whimsical, Oscar-winning soundtrack by Burt Bacharach, and masterful shifts in tone, Hill avoids cliché and delivers a bittersweet, enduring classic.
