Paul Newman and Robert Redford set the standard for the "buddy film" with this box office smash set in the Old West. The Sundance Kid (Redford) is the frontier's fastest gun. His sidekick, Butch Cassidy (Newman), is always dreaming up new ways to get rich fast. If only they could blow open a baggage car without also blowing up the money-filled safe inside... Or remember that Sundance can't swim before they escape a posse by leaping off a cliff into rushing rapids... Times are changing in the west and life is getting tougher. So Butch and Sundance pack their guns, don new duds, and, with Sundance's girlfriend (Katharine Ross), head down to Bolivia. Never mind that they don't speak Spanish - they'll manage somehow. A winner of four Academy Awards (including best screenplay and best song), here is a thoroughly enjoyable blend of fact and fancy done with true affection for a bygone era and featuring the two flashiest, friendliest funniest outlaws who ever called out "hands up!"

Genre: Adventure
"Funny and poignant tale of two famous outlaws."
— Scott G. Mignola, Common Sense Media
"Butch Cassidy is a visually beautiful film to gaze upon."
— Bianca Garner, InSession Film
"Quite simply, the most entertaining Hollywood film around."
— Michael Ross, Los Angeles Free Press
"A classic in every sense of the word. Expert moviemaking."
— Forrest Hartman, Reno Gazette-Journal
"A charismatic, fun and ultimately poignant classic Western."
— Rob Thomas, Capital Times (Madison, WI)
"One of cinema's greatest ever advertisements for pure entertainment."
— Richard Luck, Film4
"Very funny in a strictly contemporary way-the last exuberant word on movies about the men of the mythic American West who have outlived their day."
— Vincent Canby, New York Times
"A cool, charming, anachronistic Western, with great chemistry between Newman and Redford, that reimagines the genre for youths of the era by turning the outlaws into mythic figures."
— Emanuel Levy, EmanuelLevy.Com
"An all-time classic, with Newman as his charming, roguish best and Redford exuding both sex appeal and danger. A whimsical Western that superbly blends actiion, humor and the power of myth making."
— Bob Bloom, Journal and Courier
"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."
— David Parkinson, Radio 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."
— Michael Clark, Epoch Times
"Note-perfect performances, a screenplay steeped in both nostalgia and a timely sense of insight, and anti-heroes you can't help but love: it's no surprise that the always re-watchable Butch And Sundance was once labelled the most likeable film ever made."
— Bob McCabe, Empire Magazine
