Thelma & Louise

Ridley Scott’s legendary film, which premiered at the 1991 Cannes Film Festival, was nominated for six Oscars and won the award for Best Original Screenplay.

Thelma and Louise—a bored housewife and a straight-talking waitress—are best friends, fed up with the life they've had to adapt to and accept. Hoping to escape the monotony of their everyday existence, the pair sneak off in Louise’s ’66 T-Bird convertible for a three-day fishing trip, leaving behind husbands, boyfriends, and problems. But things don’t go quite as planned when an encounter with a drunken, foul-mouthed potential sexual predator turns their quiet getaway into a nationwide escape that will change their lives forever.
