Thelma & Louise is a 1991 American road movie directed by Ridley Scott and written by Callie Khouri. The film premiered on May 24, 1991, at the Cannes Film Festival and was released in the United States on May 24, 1991. The film follows the journey of two women, Thelma and Louise, who embark on a road trip that turns into a crime spree. The soundtrack for Thelma & Louise was composed by Hans Zimmer, a German film composer known for his work on films such as The Lion King, Gladiator, and Inception. The soundtrack features a mix of country, rock, and blues music, with songs by artists such as Steve Earle, Chris Isaak, and Marianne Faithfull. The soundtrack is divided into two parts, with the first part featuring songs that reflect the film's themes of freedom and rebellion. The second part of the soundtrack features more somber and reflective songs, reflecting the film's tragic ending. One of the most iconic songs on the soundtrack is "Thunderbird" by ZZ Top, which plays during the film's climactic scene. The song's driving beat and bluesy guitar riffs perfectly capture the film's sense of rebellion and defiance. Overall, the Thelma & Louise soundtrack is a perfect complement to the film's themes and characters. Zimmer's score and the carefully selected songs help to create a powerful and emotional experience for viewers, making Thelma & Louise one of the most memorable films of the 1990s.
