Movie Night at the Museum screens 'Thelma and Louise'

Classic 1991 road movie and "Thelma and Louise" will be shown for Movie Night at the Museum July 28. 

Needing a break from their mundane and stressful lives, housewife Thelma (Geena Davis) and waitress Louise (Susan Sarandon) plan a weekend fishing trip, which takes a dramatic turn.

After Louise shoots a man attempting to rape Thelma at a bar, they go on the run, afraid no one would believe their story and inadvertently become outlaws. The duo soon finds themselves in additional trouble with law enforcement, with an especially committed detective (Harvey Keitel) on their tails. A charming hitchhiker J.D. (Brad Pitt) joins them, and more crimes get committed along the way.

Doors open at 6:30 p.m. and the movie starts at 7 p.m. in the Swanberg Classroom at the Northwest Montana History Museum, 124 Second Ave. E., Kalispell. Host and educator Jacob Thomas will provide prescreening remarks.

Admission and popcorn are free. Soda, water, beer and wine will be available for purchase. Seating is provided, but guests are welcome to bring their own.
