Thelma & Louise
A timid housewife desperate to break free from her controlling husband teams up with her sharp‑tongued friend on a weekend getaway, only to have their peaceful retreat turned into a deadly showdown when a predatory stranger threatens them. Their fight for survival forces them to confront violence head‑on and decide who they’ll become.
“Somebody said get a life...so they did.”
Synopsis
Thelma and Louise, close friends seeking a respite from their monotonous lives, set out on a brief weekend getaway that takes an unexpected turn when they become involved in a situation that incriminates them. As fugitives, they come to rediscover the strength of their friendship and develop a newfound sense of resilience.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
Principal cast & crew: 32
These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.
Why a floor?
This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.

✅ Made its money back — grossed 2.8× its budget
Why 2.5×?
Cinemas keep roughly half of every ticket sold, and a wide release’s marketing often costs about as much again as the film — so a movie needs to gross around 2.5× its production budget just to break even theatrically. It’s a rule of thumb, not the studio’s ledger (home video and streaming come later).
