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.
