The true story of fast-draws and wild rides, battles with posses, train and bank robberies, a torrid love affair and a new lease on outlaw life in far away Bolivia. It is also a character study of a remarkable friendship between Butch - possibly the most likeable outlaw in frontier history - and his closest associate, the fabled, ever-dangerous Sundance Kid.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

With its iconic pairing of Paul Newman and Robert Redford, jaunty screenplay and Burt Bacharach score, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid has gone down as among the defining moments in late-'60s American cinema.

After a few minutes of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, I began to get that depressed feeling, and, after a half hour, felt rather offended. Go to Full Review

It's lighthearted and likeable, a cool, 1960s spin on a genre that at the time had become a little tired. Go to Full Review

5/5
Credit must go to the Oscar-winning trio of William Goldman, Conrad Hall and Burt Bacharach for the witty script, luminous photography and jaunty score respectively, but all of the charm of this ever-popular picture lies with the charismatic outlaws. Go to Full Review

Rob H Nov 20 Never grows old - the banter and playoff between Redford and Newman is gold. Just an ageless gem. See more Nov 14 One of the greatest movies of all time acted out by the best actors in the industry at the peak of their fame. Classic western you can watch over and over. See more Dean S Sep 21 Seen this film so many times over the years and always good. Lots of fun. Perfect cast, pacing and some surprising music but an all time classic. See more Adam K Sep 21 In more ways than one, this simple story leaves complexity and nuance to its characters. They do the heavy lifting, and they look great doing it among a sea of creative cinematography from Conrad Hall.
