In 'The Verdict' (1982) Newman plays Frank Galvin, a failed lawyer battling to regain his dignity and give up his dependence on alcohol.

In 'Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid' (1969) Newman teams up with Robert Redford to play Butch and Sundance, two outlaws at odds with the increasing modernisation of the Wild West. Deciding to cut their losses, Butch and Sundance head for a new life in Bolivia; but when they reach their destination, they realise that robbing banks in an alien country poses a whole new set of problems.
