Butch Cassidy And The Sundance Kid (1969)

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid is a 1969 American Western film written by William Goldman and directed by George Roy Hill. The film chronicles the story of Butch Cassidy (Paul Newman) and his sidekick Harry Longabaugh, the "Sundance Kid" (Robert Redford), two Wild West outlaws on the run from a strong US posse following a string of train robberies. To get away from the group, the couple and Sundance's sweetheart, Etta Place (Katharine Ross), fled to Bolivia.

While the Western genre was still alive and well at the time, great actors such as John Wayne, Butch Cassidy, and the Sundance Kid irrevocably transformed the genre. The two titular outlaws are on the lookout for their next big score while attempting to dodge the cops in this action-packed adventure flick.

Newman and Robert Redford were an instantaneously recognizable on-screen couple that viewers adored. Critics adored their chemistry as well as the film's lighthearted tone. They cited the film's light tone, comedy, and antiheroes as contributing to its status as a classic.
