Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid is the classic 1969 Western that marked the first onscreen pairing of Paul Newman and Robert Redford, who portray the title characters. The film was directed by George Roy Hill, who would later reunite with the duo for the Academy Award-winning 1973 film The Sting. William Goldman (Marathon Man, A Bridge Too Far, All the President's Men), wrote the screenplay. The cast included Katharine Ross, Jeff Corey, and Ted Cassidy. A prequel, Butch and Sundance: The Early Days was released in 1979.
The following weapons were used in the film Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid:
Revolvers
Colt Single Action Army
Butch Cassidy (Paul Newman) and the Sundance Kid (Robert Redford) each carry a Colt Single Action Army. The Bolivian bandits, including one played by Powers Boothe and police also carry SAAs. Seen both "Quick-Draw" and "Artillery" models.
The Sundance Kid (Robert Redford) holds a Single Action Army as he reacts to shooting a snake in the canyon.
Butch Cassidy (Paul Newman) lines a group of Bolivians against a wall during their first bank robbery.
TheSundance Kid (Robert Redford) waits for Butch's next line.
Percy Garris (Strother Martin) looks over Sundance's "piece".
Colt Police Positive (Mocked Up as Colt SAA)
When confronting the Bolivian bandits, Butch's Single Action Army appears to have been replaced in some shots with a double-action, modern Colt Police Positive revolver modified to resemble the SAA. This kind of prop was frequently used in Westerns (see the Police Positive below), when a Single Action Army was required to be discharged with the speed required by the script.
Butch and Sundance shooting at the Bolivians. The revolver used by Butch (Paul Newman) appears to be a double-action, modern Colt Police Positive revolver modified to resemble the SAA.

A guard watching over Hole in the Wall carries a Winchester Model 1892. Some of the Bolivian soldiers in the film's climax carry them as well.
