 A
kinder, gentler take on the outlaw mythos common in the western
genre. Based loosely on real-life western outlaws Robert Leroy
Parker (Paul Newman) and Harry Longbaugh (Robert Redford), better
known as Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid. Following a string
of bank and train robberies in the early 1900's, the pair find
themselves hotly pursued by the authorities. They escape to Bolivia
with The Kid's lover, schoolteacher Etta Place (Katherine Ross),
in the hopes of turning their luck around. Based on the William
Goldman novel. Music in the movie includes among other great
songs, the hit "Raindrops Keep Fallin' On My Head"
by Burt Bacharach and Hal David.
