Geena Davis and Susan Sarandon star as the freewheeling school friends who decide to go on a long trip in this Oscar-winning buddy film, the doyenne of the road movie genre, whose final scene is now iconic – and for good reason. Thelma is the dowdy housewife, Louise the naive free spirit, but the real star is director Ridley Scott, who gives his characters freedom while at the same time winding them into a taut, tragic plot.
