Different stories intersect in Los Angeles:

-- Two small-time thieves, Honey Bunny and Pumpkin are going to make a
robbery in a restaurant: will they find troubles while doing that?
-- Vincent Vega and Jules Winnfield are two gangsters; they hit men for the
feared Marsellus Wallace, they must recover a misterious bag: will they succeed?
-- Butch, a boxer, is earning some easy money from Marsellus: he only has to
loose his next fight, but Butch has a plan into his mind: what will he do?
-- Vincent has been entrust by his boss to carry out his wife, Mia Wallace, for
a dinner and to take care of her; she is a beautiful and sexy woman: will Vincent
be blinded by her "power"?

It's not easy to tell the plot of this critically acclaimed film: two hours and a
half of pure action....full of drama,gags,suspense and violence mixed up.
Do you think you could laugh while a head is crashed by a shotgun and blood
is shed all around the scene? Well, now you'll do it for sure.
Violence in Pulp Fiction is presented in such a paradoxial and funny way that
it almost becomes a comic device.
A big cast, a great screenplay with superb dialogues and the "Tarantino's way"
direction....these are the right ingredients of a cult movie.
