The affectionate chemistry between Paul Newman and Robert Redford lights up this irreverent adventure yarn set in the fading days of the wild west. Newman’s Butch Cassidy is the gentlemanly schemer in a band of notorious train robbers; Redford the loyal sidekick with lightning reflexes. When a posse starts hunting them down, the duo decide it could be time for a fresh start and make tracks for a new life in Bolivia. A hugely entertaining crowd-pleaser, built on William Goldman’s witty, Oscar-winning screenplay, a charismatic cast and a captivating soundtrack.
