Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid

Paul Newman and Robert Redford in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (1969)

Director: George Roy Hill

Writer: William Goldman

Cast: Paul Newman, Robert Redford, Katharine Ross, Strother Martin, Henry Jones, Jeff Corey, Sam Elliott

In Wyoming in the early 1900s, Butch Cassidy (Newman) and the Sundance Kid (Redford) run a band of outlaws. After battles, bank robberies, and a love affair, they decide to escape the law and escape to far-off Bolivia. No one says it’s about boomer values, but it’s an obvious metaphor for a very 1960s emphasis on discarding the old rules.
