Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (1969)

This screening is a special addition to our Classic Film Series – tickets are just £6. 

To honour the legendary Robert Redford, we’re bringing Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid back for one night only as a tribute to his incredible legacy.

We hope you will join us in appreciating the charm, wit, and timeless talent he brought to the film industry.

Paul Newman and Robert Redford set the standard for the “buddy film” with this much beloved box office smash set in the Old West.

Based on the true story of fast-draws and wild rides, battles with posses, train and bank robberies, a torrid love affair and a new lease on outlaw life in far away Bolivia. It is also a character study of a remarkable friendship between Butch – possibly the most likeable outlaw in frontier history – and his closest associate, the fabled, ever-dangerous Sundance Kid.

Winner of four Academy Awards (including best screenplay and best song), here is a thoroughly enjoyable blend of fact and fancy done with true affection for a bygone era and featuring the two flashiest, friendliest funniest outlaws who ever called out “hands up!”.

“Note-perfect performances, a screenplay steeped in both nostalgia and a timely sense of insight, and anti-heroes you can’t help but love”
