Film Synopsis

Two friends, Thelma Dickinson and Louise Sawyer, have grown tired of their respective partners and decide to embark on a long road trip across Arkansas.  They stop at a bar, where Thelma dances with a man.  When the man attempts to rape her friend, Louise takes out her gun and shoots him dead.  Thelma suggests they should report the incident to the police, but Louise convinces her that because she was seen dancing with her aggressor no one will believe she was a potential rape victim.  Their only option is to go on the run...
