Directed by Ridley Scott from an Oscar winning screenplay by Callie Khouri, Thelma & Louise follows two friends whose weekend away turns into a flight across the American Southwest after one of them stops a man from assaulting the other.
Funny, furious and heartbreaking, it put women’s anger, friendship and freedom at the centre of a genre usually reserved for men, and sparked a huge public debate on its release. Decades later it remains a touchstone of feminist cinema.
