Opening with a silent "movie" of
Butch Cassidy's Hole in the Wall Gang,
George Roy Hill's comically elegiac
Western chronicles the mostly true tale of the outlaws' last months. Witty pals
Butch (
Paul Newman) and
Sundance (
Robert Redford) join the Gang in successfully robbing yet another train with their trademark non-lethal style. After the pair rests at the home of
Sundance's schoolmarm girlfriend,
Etta (
Katharine Ross), the Gang robs the same train, but this time, the railroad boss has hired the best trackers in the business to foil the crime. After being tailed over rocks and a river gorge by guys that they can barely identify save for a white hat,
Butch and
Sundance decide that maybe it's time to try their luck in Bolivia. Taking
Etta with them, they live high on ill-gotten Bolivian gains, but
Etta leaves after their white-hatted nemesis portentously arrives. Their luck running out,
Butch and
Sundance are soon holed up in a barn surrounded by scores of Bolivian soldiers who are waiting for the pair to make one last run for it.

A Landmark Western Classic.
Paul Newman and Robert Redford made movie history when they starred together in this classic Western drama as the two infamous outlaws of the Old West, who lead a band of outlaws called The Hole-in-the-Wall Gang, who embark on a bank-robbing spree all the way to Central America. The movie's memorable moment is Butch and Sundance's cliff-diving escape. The movie won four Academy Awards for Best Cinematography, Best Original Score, Best Song for "Raindrops Keep Fallin' on My Head", and Best Original Screenplay. Also starring Katharine Ross, Strother Martin, Henry Jones, Jeff Corey, Cloris Leachman, George Furth, Ted Cassidy, Kenneth Mars, Christopher Lloyd, and Sam Elliott.
