Full Plot Details

The early partnership of outlaws Robert LeRoy Parker and Harry Alonzo Longabaugh, better known as Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, in the late nineteenth century American frontier is told. Just paroled from a Wyoming prison on a vow to the state's Governor, affable and otherwise honorable Butch returns to his old stomping grounds of Brown's Hole, Utah, where he meets Longabaugh in a casino shootout gone wrong, the event initiated by Longabaugh. Despite baby-faced and more volatile Longabaugh not looking for a professional union, Butch, impressed by his shooting prowess and eventually renaming him the Sundance Kid, is able to convince him into that partnership for what each can do for the other, Butch to be the brains, and Sundance to be the shooting brawn. Despite wanting some notoriety both as an outlaw but also as an all 'round good guy who deserves some respect, Butch is trying to ween himself off criminal activities largely for the sake of his wife Mary and their two young sons, while Sundance is heading in the opposite direction wanting to commit as much lucrative crime as they can muster. In their somewhat opposing views, they agree to start with small robberies, ultimately, if possible, working their way up to more lucrative robberies, such as of trains. With various people after them for some of their past deeds, including one of Butch's former criminal associates, they will find through their criminal and non-criminal ventures if there is a future for them as partners.

Movie Reviews

Reel Film Reviews - 4/10 by David Nusair...there's just no storyline holding the whole thing together.
User Review - 10/10 by Matthew MA surprisingly well known cast of characters and no there is someone named Patrick Stewart but not the one that is shown in the cast on Flixster. Of course the film is a prequel to the events of the classic movie and it sticks to its guns for most of the movie. It definitely has good intentions in keeping with the relationship and the fun the two had in robbing banks. It also keeps the idea of the western alive and well. There is a nice train sequence at the end that was well done and creative. Overall, It is surprisingly well made and an enjoyable movie.
User Review - 10/10 by David HThe Perfect Combination of a Excellent Western & a Hillarious Comedy William Katt & Tom Berenger are a great Duo
User Review - 10/10 by cathy mthis is really good.tom is always good actor.
User Review - 6/10 by Joe VNot a bad western, it has good sets, costumes and decent cinematography. It's a bit slow at times but overall it was entertaining. Good leads, well made.
User Review - 6/10 by Julie GFar sillier than the classic. The editing and writing make it a little choppy to watch. Only one guy in the entire movie gets killed.
User Review - 6/10 by Sam FButch and Sundance: The Early Days (1979) My Rating: 6/10 Genre: Western, Comedy Director: Richard Lester MPAA Rating: PG Runtime: 115 minutes Available On: DVD
User Review - 6/10 by Brett WYeah, I guess they were young once but that doesn't mean it's worth a movie. I could have lived without it.
User Review - 6/10 by Brenda BAlthough it could never live up to the original Redford and Newman film, this prequel is still entertaining and worth the watch.
User Review - 6/10 by Paul DThe great thing here is that it goes a long way to capture the mood and the personalities of the first film even without the same actors, it was never going to be as good though.
