Two women leave their small town, taking off on a run for their lives, after one of them 
kills a would-be rapist. 

==========

Louise is working in a fast food restaurant as a waitress and has some problems with her 
friend Jimmy, who, as a musician, is always on the road. Thelma is married to Darryl who 
likes his wife to stay quiet in the kitchen so that he can watch football on TV. One day 
they decide to break out of their normal life and jump in the car and hit the road. Their 
journey, however, turns into a flight when Louise kills a man who threatens to rape Thelma. 
They decide to go to Mexico, but soon they are hunted by American police.  

===========

Whilst on a short weekend getaway, Louise shoots a man who had tried to rape Thelma. Due 
to the incriminating circumstances, they make a run for it but are soon followed closely 
by the authorities including a local policeman who is sympathetic to their plight. The 
federal authorities, however, have less compassion and thus a cross country chase ensues 
for the two fugitives. Along the way, both women rediscover the strength of their friendship 
and suprising aspects of their personalities and self-strengths in the trying times.
