Thelma and Louise
Fugitive friends' finale
Thelma and Louise is a 1991 film about two women who go on the run after a violent encounter, ultimately driving off a cliff rather than surrendering to authorities.
The title has become shorthand for a dramatic, defiant exit or a doomed but liberating rebellion against circumstances: If this project fails, we're going full Thelma and Louise.
