Pulp Fiction
Released 1994
Stars John Travolta, Samuel L. Jackson, Tim Roth, Amanda Plummer, Bruce Willis,
Uma Thurman
Directed by Quentin Tarantino
In this critically acclaimed film, Quentin Tarantino unleashes his follow-up to his first
film, Reservoir Dogs. Combining both strong violence and language with superb dialogue,
Tarantino creates the ultimate crime drama by illustrating the stories of a series of
people that eventually unite as the film progresses. The film begins with two small-time
thieves, Honey Bunny and Pumpkin, who spontaneously decide to hold up a restaurant. The
film then switches between several different threads and travels back and forth in time.
The explosive violence provides for great action, but it's the crafty dialogue that makes
the movie.
