Vincent Vega (John Travolta) and Jules Winnfield (Samuel L. Jackson) are hitmen with a penchant for philosophical discussions. In this ultra-hip, multi-strand crime movie, their storyline is interwoven with those of their boss, gangster Marsellus Wallace (Ving Rhames) ; his actress wife, Mia (Uma Thurman) ; struggling boxer Butch Coolidge (Bruce Willis) ; master fixer Winston Wolfe (Harvey Keitel) and a nervous pair of armed robbers, Pumpkin (Tim Roth) and Honey Bunny (Amanda Plummer).

Critics Consensus

Injecting its compendium of crime tales with the patois of everyday conversation, Pulp Fiction is a cinematic shot of adrenaline that cements writer-director Quentin Tarantino as an audacious purveyor of killer kino.

... A controversial yet award-worthy combination of gorgeous dialogue, genre-literacy, guns and gore.

Chicago Sun-Times

Quentin Tarantino is the Jerry Lee Lewis of cinema, a pounding performer who doesn't care if he tears up the piano, as long as everybody is rocking.

Ramble On With Buffa (Substack)

From the riveting split story lines and hyper-profanity to the quotable dialogue and shocking action, Tarantino's movie reverberated then and still does to this day.

Super cool, totally thrilling, and a startling blend of homage and originality that has not been matched since—once you see it, you’ll never view cinema the same way again.
