Thelma & Louise is a cult classic and for good reason!
All at once, Thelma & Louise manages to be funny, heartbreaking and cathartic. Callie Khouri won an Oscar for Best Original Screenplay and both Davis and Sarandon were nominated for Best Actress. Ridley Scott also earned an Oscar nomination for his directing, which showed a new versatility for comedy.
Best pals, Thelma Dickinson (Geena Davis) and Louise Sawyer (Susan Sarandon) decide they need a weekend getaway from their humdrum lives.
Thelma is married to a controlling brute who likes his wife to be quiet in the kitchen while he watches sports. Louise works as a waitress in a busy diner, and her musician boyfriend is always off on the road somewhere.
They jump into Louise’s 1966 Ford Thunderbird convertible, let the top down, and zoom off down the road on a fishing trip. But trouble finds them at a roadhouse pitstop and their relaxing weekend away soon turns into a wild run from the law.
