Wyoming, early 1900s. Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid are the leaders of a band of outlaws. After a train robbery goes wrong they find themselves on the run with a posse hard on their heels. Their solution - escape to Bolivia.
"In the wild West of the late 19th century, outlaws who went down in history as the Sundance Kid and Butch Cassidy were among the most wanted criminals. After all, they were responsible for the biggest and most successful series of train robberies in US history. Consequently, their lives were dramatized in various media, including films. In 1969, Hollywood did its part with a script by William Goldman and brought the criminal duo to the screen with the glamour of those times, played by Paul Newman and Robert Redford, one of the most iconic pairs in film history. With influences from the French New Wave cinema, elements of comedy from the "buddy movies" and romantic touches, 'Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid' was a breath of fresh air for the westerns of its time. After all, despite having a narrative backbone, it also gave greater emphasis to the humor and stories of its protagonists. An iconic classic of Hollywood from the 1960s and 1970s."
