THE EXPERIENCE

In 1991, Callie Khouri was a first-time screenwriter and Ridley Scott was a director who hadn’t had a hit in over a decade. In a collaboration as explosive as the friendship between Louise Sawyer and Thelma Dickinson, Khouri and Scott created a feminist masterpiece that shook the foundations of Hollywood filmmaking—and America. Film critic Bennett Campbell Ferguson introduces Khouri and Scott’s landmark road movie, a saga of a two-woman revolution that is more relevant than ever.

ON SCREEN: Thelma & Louise

1991. Directed by Ridley Scott. Runtime: 2 hours 10 minutes. Rated R.

Taking a break from their dreary lives, close friends Thelma and Louise embark on a short weekend trip that ends in unforeseen incriminating circumstances. As fugitives, both women rediscover the strength of their bond and their newfound resilience.
