Fed up with her boyfriend, waitress Louise Sawyer (Sarandon) persuades her friend Thelma Dickinson (Davis), a naive housewife burdened with a negligent, sexist husband, to hit the road with her for a weekend of freedom. On their way, they stop in at a bar to have some fun with some of the locals. But the situation turns ugly when one man attempts to rape Thelma, causing Louise to shoot and accidentally kill him. Convinced that the police will never believe their version of the incident, the women take off and become fugitives. As they go on the run, Thelma picks up a handsome young cowboy J.D. (Pitt) in Oklahoma and enjoys a one-night stand that leads them to even more trouble.
