PG | 110 Mins | 1969 | DCP | US | D: George Roy Hill
Loosely based on history, rakish outlaws Butch (Paul Newman) and the Sundance Kid (Robert Redford) range across the American West and Bolivia, robbing trains, swapping wisecracks and flirting with the same girl (Katharine Ross).
A massive hit of its time, this jaunty Oscar winner, featuring Burt Bacharach’s ‘Raindrops Keep Fallin’ on My Head’, retains the cheeky charm that still ricochets off its two handsome stars, even five decades later.
“Note-perfect performances, a screenplay steeped in both nostalgia and a timely sense of insight, and anti-heroes you can’t help but love.” – Empire
