Description
Long before Paul Newman and Robert Redford immortalized them on screen, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid captivated Americans from coast to coast. In the 1890s, their exploits robbing banks and trains in the West, and then seemingly vanishing into thin air, became national news and the basis of rumors and myth.

Two outlaws on the run from an unstoppable posse.
It's an entertaining movie, but the tone is so light it borders on parody in places. I like how they never give a face to the pursuers - a risky move that worked out perfectly. Bicycle riding aside, there's a great Western buried underneath
