Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid is a 1969 movie directed by George Roy Hill and starring Paul Newman, Robert Redford, and Katharine Ross. Loosely based on the exploits of the real-life Old West outlaws Butch Cassidy and a gunslinger known as the Sundance Kid, the film combines action and comedy into a rollicking trip from the small towns and deserts of the Wild West to the hamlets of Bolivia. From its quirky beginning to its famous ending, this movie is pure gold.
