Thelma & Louise

In the organizer's words:

Thelma (Geena Davis) ekes out her monotonous housewife existence under the strict hand of her despotic husband. Her friend Louise (Susan Sarandon) can also think of something better than spending her life serving food in a diner and emptying ashtrays. Without further ado, she persuades Thelma to go on a weekend trip together. But what was planned as a varied road trip and an escape from everyday life quickly turns into a nightmare for the two women. When they stop at a run-down bar, Louise shoots the man who tried to rape Thelma in the parking lot. On the run from the police, the duo pick up the criminal J. D. (Brad Pitt), who only drags them further into disaster ...

With his fast-paced "feminist western", successful director Ridley Scott ("Blade Runner") succeeded in redefining the genre. To this day, this feminist liberation film is considered one of the best and most important films of the 1990s and a milestone in cinema history. THELMA & LOUISE impresses with canvas-filling landscape shots, pointed dialog, brilliant performances from the cast and a refreshing soundtrack and score by star composer Hans Zimmer.

Thelma and Louise - two names that have made a lasting impression and become synonymous with freedom, joie de vivre and unshakeable friendship in pop culture.
