Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (1969)
Paul Newman’s Butch Cassidy is the charming talker, and Robert Redford’s Sundance Kid is the fastest gun in the West. Together they rob trains and banks, until a relentless posse chases them across the West and all the way to Bolivia.
Seen through a Christian lens, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid is a story about friendship and the dead end of running from consequences. Their loyalty to each other is beautiful, but they never change direction. They keep running and robbing until there is nowhere left to go. Real freedom always starts with repentance.
“Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out.” Acts 3:19
