Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid

Part of the special series IN MEMORIAM ROBERT REDFORD

Butch Cassidy: How many are following us?
Sundance Kid: All of ’em.

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid are two charming bank robbers who roam the Wild West at the close of the 19th century with wit and style. When their heists become too risky, they flee to Bolivia in the hope of starting a new life. But reality, in the form of law enforcement, is on their heels, and their time is running out.

Redford as the Sundance Kid is laconic, precise, dangerous, and at the same time imbued with a quiet melancholy. Together with Paul Newman, they form a duo that made cinema history: a buddy movie set against a stunning backdrop that pushes the boundaries of the Western while never losing its sense of humor.
