Two women, a turquoise Thunderbird, the ride of a lifetime. With this pop-culture landmark, screenwriter Callie Khouri and action auteur Ridley Scott rewrote the rules of the road movie, telling the story of two best friends who find themselves transformed into accidental fugitives during a weekend getaway gone wrong—leading them on a high-speed southwestern odyssey as they elude police and discover freedom on their own terms.
Propelled by irresistible performances from Susan Sarandon and Geena Davis (plus Brad Pitt in a sexy, star-making turn)—and nominated for six Academy Awards, winning one for Khouri—the exhilaratingly cathartic THELMA & LOUISE stands as cinema’s ultimate ode to ride-or-die female friendship.

Join us for a pre-screening seminar at 6:15pm! This seminar will explore female criminality in THELMA AND LOUISE through a feminist lens. What makes these good girls go bad? And how do they respond to a system that won’t protect them from violence? In this story of how women rebel in a man’s world, we see the choices they make and what they cost–but no matter what, these girls on the run have each other’s backs.
Co-presented in-kind by WBUR and sponsored by the Iris Hotel!
