This 1969 world famous Western features two of the most popular Hollywood stars of all time. Winner of four Oscars including Best Song for 'Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head'.

Butch Cassidy (Paul Newman) and Sundance (Robert Redford) are the two leaders of the Hole In The Wall gang who specialize in bank and railroad heists as the West becomes more civilized.

With Butch's idea's and Sundance's skillful action the witty Wyoming outlaws are a match to be reckoned with until they rob one train too many and they become the prey of a special posse who begin tracking them everywhere they go.

When the duo feel the heat rising and, realising that the posse are foillowing them every step of their journey, by sheer luck shake their trail, they set off for Bolivia where they face an extreme, dramatic showdown with the law.

This classic Western is based upon the exploits of the historical characters. With lots of memorable moments and jokes, plus the Oscar-winning song 'Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head' this is a must watch film.
