Geena Davis and Susan Sarandon play Thelma and Louise, two working-class friends who together have planned a weekend getaway from the men in their lives. Thelma's husband, Darryl (Chris McDonald), is an overbearing oaf, and Louise's boyfriend, Jimmy (Michael Madsen), simply will not commit. Though the road trip starts out as a good time, the pair eventually wind up at a bar. A tipsy Thelma ends up in the parking lot of the bar with a would-be rapist. Louise shoots the man dead. The two decide that they have no choice but to go on the run. They eventually meet up with a young criminal named J.D. (Brad Pitt), whose cowboy spirit rubs off on the timid Thelma. The pair is pursued by a police officer (Harvey Keitel) sympathetic toward their plight. He chases them to the Grand Canyon, where the women make a fateful decision about their lives. Directed by Ridley Scott, Thelma & Louise brought first-time screenwriter Callie Khouri many accolades including the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay. ~ Perry Seibert, All Movie Guide

This DVD is a great example of the maxim that big things sometimes come in small packages. Unless you read the small print on the back of this unassuming-looking DVD's box, you wouldn't know that it includes the film's alternate ending (ever wonder what happens after that final freeze frame?), or audio commentary by director Ridley Scott that is like a college course on the film and himself. The DVD offers both full screen and widescreen options and digitally mastered Dolby surround (and 5:1 surround), as well as language and subtitle options in English, French and Spanish. ~ Arthur Borman, All Movie Guide
