Summary
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid and the Hole-in-the-Wall-Gang successfully rob the Union Pacific Overland Flyer train in their trademark non-lethal style. After resting at the home of Sundance's schoolmarm girlfriend, Etta, the Gang robs the same train, but this time, they are thwarted. The head of the Union Pacific lines, E.H. Harriman, has hired the best trackers in the business to hunt them down. After being tailed over rocks and a river gorge by the posse of men they can barely identify, Butch and Sundance decide that it's time to try their luck in Bolivia. Taking Etta with them, they live high on ill-gotten Bolivian gains until Butch spots the lawman, LaForce, the leader of the posse. After a failed attempt to go straight, Etta decides to return to America. Their luck running out, Butch and Sundance are soon holed up in a barn surrounded by scores of Bolivian soldiers who are waiting for the pair to make one last run for it Summary from Allmovie.com and the AFI catalog online
