Plot
The final years in the life of legendary bandit Butch Cassidy are shrouded in mystery, from his rumoured death in a Bolivian military standoff, to his escape from South America to die quietly on a Nevada ranch in the 1930s. In Mateo Gil's adventurous Western, an aged Butch Cassidy (Sam Shepard) is living under the assumed name James Blackthorn in a secluded village in Bolivia 20 years after his disappearance in 1908. Surviving humbly off the land he longs to end his personal exile and return to the US to see his family. Reluctantly joining forces with a Spanish mine robber (Eduardo Noriega) who promises him a cut of the loot, Blackthorn sets out on one final adventure and discovers he's not the only one harbouring a deep secret.

A bit slow moving western, but given the age of the protagonist, pretty fitting for the story.
