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 The Wolf (Harvey Keitel) and a nervous pair of armed robbers, Pumpkin (Tim Roth) and Honey Bunny (Amanda Plummer).

John T Mar 4 Great throwback movie! See more Cesar Nov 20 The movie itself is great, but the theater did not end up playing the movie on the scheduled date so it was canceled. It would’ve been nice if I would’ve gotten a notification letting me know that it was canceled this way I wouldn’t have have drove 30 minutes to the theater. See more Andrew M 04/09/2025 It's a great flick to experience for the first time and in theaters too. My boyfriend loved it. That's all that mattered.
