Outlaw Trail: The Treasure of Butch Cassidy


Outlaw Trail The Treasure of Butch Cassidy is a 2006 American adventure film, produced and directed by Ryan Little. It is loosely based on legends arising from the fate of reallife Western outlaw Butch Cassidy, the alias of Robert LeRoy Parker, whose gang robbed trains and banks in the 1890s. Cassidy fled to South America in 1901, where he is believed to have died in 1908.

The film starts with a prologue scene set in Bolivia in 1908. Butch Cassidy writes a letter to his family, enclosing a belt buckle engraved with a treasure map. Cassidy and his accomplice, Harry Longabaugh the Sundance Kid, attempt to elude capture when their hideout is surrounded by Bolivian police.The film then shifts to Circleville, Utah, in 1951, where Butch Cassidys 16yearold greatnephew, Roy Parker, defends his infamous ancestors reputation despite the opposition of Sam, his stern grandfather, Cassidys younger brother. Sam resents Roys interest in Cassidy, even acquiescing in the boys brief jailing on a trumpedup charge, where he scolds him, I spent the better part of my life trying to live down the reputation that your hero has laid out for the Parker name and you grow up worshipping him. Young Roy believes that Cassidy was trying to make amends by returning to the U.S. from Bolivia. He discovers the belt buckle left by Cassidy and learns that it is a map to the treasure buried by Cassidy somewhere in the Utah wilderness. ........
