Overview

In late 1890s Wyoming, Butch Cassidy is the affable, clever and talkative leader of the outlaw Hole in the Wall Gang. His closest companion is the laconic dead-shot Sundance Kid. As the west rapidly becomes civilized, the law finally catches up to Butch, Sundance and their gang.  Chased doggedly by a special posse, the two decide to make their way to South America in hopes of evading their pursuers once and for all.  Preserved by the Academy Film Archive in partnership with Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation in 1998.

Viewing Notes

Picked up the blu-ray of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, a movie I haven’t seen since probably the 70s or early 80s. Redford and Newman are so good together makes me miss Newman and his onscreen presence.
