Esto es un robo, las manos arriba! Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid is directed by George Roy Hill and written by William Goldman. It stars Paul Newman, Robert Redford, Katharine Ross and Strother Martin. A Panavision/De Luxe production with music by Burt Bacharach and cinematography by Conrad Hall.

**Unique among the westerns, we understand this film better in the light of the time in which it was made.** Butch Cassidy, Sundance Kid and the Hole in the Wall gang are in the “Hall of Fame” of the greatest thieves and robbers of the Old West. They had a long, varied and violent criminal career, with spectacular robberies of trains, stagecoaches and banks before moving to South America, where they spent all thei…
