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.

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.

Pauline Kael

The New Yorker

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.

The Times (UK)

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

Butch Cassidy is a visually beautiful film to gaze upon.

Radio Times

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.

Rated: 5/5

Epoch Times

It was produced and released during the American New Wave and the aesthetic and narrative choices Hill and Goldman made were spot on. They took a “sacred cow” genre and infused it with a new perspective; a jolt that resulted in an instant classic.

Rated: 4.5/5

Numa época em que o humor não era comum nos filmes de faroeste, esse me conquistou simpaticamente, até a trilha sonora dele e gotosamente divertida, com uma áurea moderna e contemporânea… E a eterna magia de transformar mal feitores, assassinos e ladrões em herói nacional, com muita simpatia e ''honestidade''. Os dois belos protagonistas e a linda Kath Ross (desfecho enigmático) química perfeita, roteiro enxuto, que não o deixa cair no enfadonho, tudo bem produzido, envelheceu elegantemente…

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

A beautiful film in every way. The cinematography, characters, story and soundtrack, are all on another level. I simply can't recommend enough.

Absolute classic, though you feel it really has no right to be, with that strange, anachronistic Burt Bacharach song in the middle, followed by sepia postcards from the boat trip to south America. Proof in a way that you can hang almost anything on a brilliant script and characters ... and the movie will still work.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
