Road Trips Adventures await movie characters who hit the road during the course of their films.

'Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore' (1974)

A mother, Alice Hyatt (Ellen Burstyn), has a 12-year-old son, Tommy (Alfred Lutter III). When her husband is killed in a traffic accident, she takes her son on a road trip from New Mexico to, hopefully, make it back to Monterey, Calif., where she hopes to continue a singing career she left behind when she got married. When her new job singing in a bar goes south, she accepts a job as a waitress.

'Thelma & Louise' (1991), left

Two women, Louise (Susan Sarandon) and Thelma (Geena Davis), hit the road in a 1966 T-Bird convertible when one is almost raped and the other shoots the attacker. Thelma and Louise attempt to escape to a new life in Mexico. Memorable personalities who cross their path include J.D. (Brad Pitt), a hitchhiker who briefly sweeps Thelma off her feet.

'Almost Famous' (2000)

Fifteen-year-old William Miller (Patrick Fugit), a San Diego high school senior, spends a few weeks on the road in a tour bus driving into the Southwest with an up-and-coming fictional rock band named Stillwater to write an article about them for Rolling Stone magazine. On the road, William loses his virginity and experiences a near-plane crash. Writer-director Cameron Crowe wrote the semi-autobiographical screenplay.
