Directed by George Roy Hill and written by William Goldman, “Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid” is a 1969 American Western buddy film starring Paul Newman and Robert Redford, released by 20th Century Fox. Loosely based on historical facts, the plot follows the two iconic Wild West outlaws and a companion as they flee to Bolivia to escape a relentless U.S. posse following a series of train robberies, framing them as likeable “anti-heroes” rather than elusive lawbreaking killers. Although initial reviews from critics were only lukewarm, it won four of the seven Academy Awards it was nominated for and grossed $102 million against a $6 million budget, as well as winning Burt Bacharach both a Grammy and Golden Globe Award for Best Original Score, and the movie has since received widespread positive reappraisal and immense commercial success. Today, it is preserved in the United States National Film Registry and is frequently ranked by the American Film Institute as one of the greatest Westerns of all time.
