Thelma (Geena Davis) is a bored housewife. Louise (Susan Sarandon) is a waitress at a coffee shop. Together they sneak off in a ’66 T-bird convertible for a three-day fishing trip. However, things don’t go quite according to plan. An encounter with a drunken, foul-mouthed, would-be rapist transforms their quiet getaway weekend into a cross-country escape that will change their lives forever.
