Thelma & Louise
Two women, a turquoise Thunderbird, the ride of a lifetime.
Meek housewife Thelma (Geena Davis) joins her friend Louise (Susan Sarandon), an independent waitress, on a short fishing trip. When a chance encounter at a roadside bar goes horribly wrong, their weekend getaway becomes a high-speed flight from the law as the two women attempt to flee to Mexico, meeting a host of characters along the way that include the dashing-but-dangerous J.D. (Brad Pitt's star-making role) and a sympathetic police officer (Harvey Keitel). There's no trip like a girls' trip!
Winning an Oscar for Callie Khoury's screenplay and nominated for five others, including two Best Actresses and Best Director, Ridley Scott's legendary feminist ride-or-die road trip is an utterly irresistible reimagining of the previously male-dominated road odyssey genre that reminds us of the resources, capabilities, and freedoms we may not know we possess. "[Thelma and Louise] celebrates the myth of two carefree souls piling into a 1956 T-Bird and driving out of town to have some fun and raise some hell. We know the road better than that, however, and we know the toll it exacts: Before their journey is done, these characters will have undergone a rite of passage, and will have discovered themselves."—Roger Ebert.
