Revisit one of Robert Redford’s most iconic films as we pay tribute to the late, great actor who passed away on 16 September at the age of 89. This timeless classic stars Paul Newman as the affable, talkative Butch Cassidy and Redford as his laconic, quick-drawing partner, the Sundance Kid, as they are forced on the run by a relentless posse of lawmen following a series of train robberies.
Winner of four Oscars, this revisionist Western presents a perfect blend of action and comedy, elevated by the on-screen charisma of its two legendary leads. It was a box office sensation which, notably, allowed Redford to fund The Sundance Institute, named after his character in the film. A cultural institution and champion of independent cinema, the non-profit organisation and the festival of the same name has gone on to change the careers of countless filmmakers, cementing Redford’s cinematic legacy both on and off screen.
