Which 1991 Ridley Scott film features Geena Davis and Susan Sarandon on a road trip?

The 1991 Ridley Scott film featuring Geena Davis and Susan Sarandon on a road trip is Thelma & Louise.

The film follows Thelma Dickinson and Louise Sawyer, two friends who leave Arkansas for a weekend getaway. Their trip takes a dangerous turn after Louise shoots a man attempting to assault Thelma. Fearing that the authorities will not believe their account, the women flee toward Mexico, becoming fugitives as their options narrow.

Callie Khouri wrote the screenplay, and Ridley Scott directed. The cast also includes Harvey Keitel, Michael Madsen, Christopher McDonald, and Brad Pitt, whose performance as J.D. became an early career breakthrough. The film’s desert landscapes, friendship-centered story, and ending helped make it a landmark of feminist cinema.

Thelma & Louise is often remembered simply as a road movie, but its significance extends beyond the journey itself. It examines gender, power, self-determination, and the limited choices available to women facing violence and social control. Khouri won the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay, and the film entered the National Film Registry in 2016.
