Butch and the Kid? The duo flee to Bolivia in search of a more successful criminal career. Han Solo and his mentor to the criminal underground Tobias Beckett agree to pull a dangerous job on Kessel. Solo: A Star Wars Story shares a few similarities with this classic Wild West picture. A failed train robbery serves as a major plot point in both movies, resulting in their respective characters becoming outlaws that need to prove themselves to varying degrees. After an attempted train robbery goes wrong, the pair find themselves on the run with a crack posse hard on their heels. That was certainly there in the Beckett character and in the frontier, and that feeling that they’re operating in a kind of lawless wide open environment.” Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (1969)īased loosely on fact, this 1969 Western follows the story of famed Wild West outlaws Robert LeRoy Parker, known as Butch Cassidy (played by Paul Newman), and his partner Harry Longabauch, the “Sundance Kid” (played by Robert Redford). And then there’s also that sort of heist/western vibe. I also feel that Alden has a natural slightly sort of Paul Newman vibe.
There were two kinds of movies that we did talk about a lot, and one of them was Bullitt. “There’s another vibe that I really wanted, it was this kind of ’70s vibe. Speaking to Nerdist, Howard acknowledged the ’70s movie vibe and influence. In Solo, filmmaker Ron Howard harkens back to the ’70s caper vibe of Bullitt, particularly during the scenes showing Solo pulling off the much-talked-about heist on Kessel. Featuring one of the most famous car-chases in history, Bullitt is the model blueprint for any heist film. Bullitt follows their trail through a complex web of lies and double-crosses. When a pair of hitmen kill the witness, Lt. Steve McQueen stars as police lieutenant Frank Bullitt, tasked by the ambitious Senator Walter Chalmers to keep watch over the brother of well-known mob boss, Pete Ross. Not just a chase movie, Bullitt (along with The French Connection, arguably ) is known as the definitive heist movie. From ’70s heist flicks to good old fashioned Westerns, here’s a list of films to check out next if you enjoyed Solo: A Star Wars Story: Bullitt (1968) If you loved the look and feel of this standalone Star Wars tale and are itching for more, we’ve got you covered. The film is a blend of genres: part Western, part caper, and part adventure movie. Solo: A Star Wars Story tells the story of Han Solo before he became the lovable rogue and smuggler we all know from the original Star Wars trilogy.
The summer blockbuster season has officially begun, and with it a new Star Wars to the delight of fans around the world.
