Geena Davis and
Susan Sarandon play
Thelma and
Louise, two working-class friends who together have planned a weekend getaway from the men in their lives.
Thelma's husband,
Darryl (
Chris McDonald), is an overbearing oaf, and
Louise's boyfriend,
Jimmy (
Michael Madsen), simply will not commit. Though the road trip starts out as a good time, the pair eventually wind up at a bar. A tipsy
Thelma ends up in the parking lot of the bar with a would-be rapist.
Louise shoots the man dead. The two decide that they have no choice but to go on the run. They eventually meet up with a young criminal named
J.D. (
Brad Pitt), whose cowboy spirit rubs off on the timid
Thelma. The pair is pursued by a police officer (
Harvey Keitel) sympathetic toward their plight. He chases them to the Grand Canyon, where the women make a fateful decision about their lives. Directed by
Ridley Scott,
Thelma & Louise brought first-time screenwriter
Callie Khouri many accolades including the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay.
