Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid Storyline
Butch and Sundance are the two leaders of the Hole-in-the-Wall Gang. Butch is all ideas, Sundance is all action and skill. The west is becoming civilized and when Butch and Sundance rob a train once too often, a special posse begins trailing them no matter where they run. Over rock, through towns, across rivers, the group is always just behind them. When they finally escape through sheer luck, Butch has another idea, "Let's go to Bolivia". Based on the exploits of the historical characters.

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid trivia
- SPOILER: The climactic gun battle at the end of the movie was historically inaccurate. There were only a few uniformed police officers/officials present during the shootout (the rural town of San Vicente in southern Bolivia, where Cassidy and Sundance were supposedly killed, was a very small place back in November 1908, and didn't have many police officers). Plus, there were only three Bolivian soldiers who actually took part in the fight alongside the local police, not the hundreds shown in the film. In addition, the casualty count among the Bolivian policemen was nowhere near as enormous as shown (only one soldier and one police official were actually killed, plus another soldier and an unknown number of policemen and some local posse members were wounded), and most of the gun battle took place in the evening and at night, not in broad daylight as shown in the movie. These were the main reasons why the Bolivian government at first banned the film from being shown in that country.
- Body count: 30
- 'Marlon Brando' (qv) was seriously considered to team with 'Paul Newman (I)' (qv) for one of the roles.
- On the first day of shooting, involving the train robbery scenes, 'Katharine Ross' (qv) came to the set to watch. There were five cameras and only four operators, so the DP put her on the extra camera. He showed her how to operate it, and how to move it to get her shot. Director 'George Roy Hill' (qv) was furious, but said nothing the whole day. At the end of the day, however, he banned her from the set except when she was working.
- The sister of the real 'Butch Cassidy (I)' (qv) often visited the set, and her presence was welcome to the cast and crew. During lulls in shooting she would tell stories about her famous brother's escapades, and was amazed at how accurately the script and 'Paul Newman (I)' (qv) portrayed him. Before the film was released, the studio found out about her visits and tried to convince her to endorse the movie in a series of ads to be shown in theatres across the country. She said that she would, but only if she saw the film first and truly stood behind it. The studio refused, saying that allowing her to see the film before its release could harm its reputation. Finally, at 'Robert Redford (I)' (qv)'s suggestion, she agreed to do the endorsements - for a small "fee."
