A pair of low-rent hit men, Vincent Vega (John Travolta) and Jules Winnfield (Samuel L. Jackson), are sent out to collect a stolen briefcase for their mob boss employer, Marsellus Wallace (Ving Rhames). Having proven himself worthy, Wallace then entrusts Vincent to entertain his wife, Mia (Uma Thurman), while he is out of town. Meanwhile, Wallace has paid off aging boxer Butch Coolidge (Bruce Willis) to throw his next fight. The lives of these wildly entertaining characters intertwine with unexpected and violent consequences.

Quentin Tarantino’s ingenious 1994 magnum opus is an enduring landmark in American cinema, featuring an all-time great soundtrack and an A-list cast at the very top of their game. Every bit as iconic as a Royale with cheese, Pulp Fiction was also major comeback film for both John Travolta and Bruce Willis, with Travolta going on to be nominated for an Oscar.
