George Roy Hill · 1969 · overland
George Roy Hill's 1969 western. Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid rob the Union Pacific once too often, and a posse that will not stop chases them out of Wyoming altogether. With Etta Place they run to New York, and from New York by ship to Bolivia - to rob banks in a language they cannot speak, and to meet the army in a dusty courtyard at San Vicente.
- 1Hole-in-the-Wall
In the red rock country of Wyoming, the Hole-in-the-Wall gang keep their hideout beyond the reach of the law - Butch the amiable planner, Sundance the gunhand, and a way of life that is quietly running out of time.
- 2Wilcox
They stop the Union Pacific Overland Flyer once, and then, greedily, a second time - and the railroad's answer is a hand-picked posse on a special train that tracks them over rock and river and simply will not stop coming.
- 3New York
Run ragged and out of country to hide in, Butch, Sundance and Etta Place take the last way out: east to New York, a bright interval of photographs and electric light, and passage on a steamer bound for South America.
- 4Buenos Aires
They land in Argentina and work south and west toward the Bolivian mountains, learning enough Spanish from Etta to hold up a bank - a fresh start that turns out to be the same life in a different language.
- 5San Vicente
In the mining village of San Vicente in the Bolivian altiplano, wounded and cornered in a courtyard with the army massing outside, the two of them reload, argue about Australia, and run out into the light.
