Director Quentin Tarantino's 1994 film Pulp Fiction presents three intertwined stories that aren't in chronological order. Pulp Fiction elevated Tarantino's status as a must-see director, cementing his aesthetic, thematic interests, and the kinds of stories he was interested in telling as a filmmaker. While many of his calling cards, including a non-linear storytelling format, were introduced in Tarantino's debut film Reservoir Dogs, 1994's Pulp Fiction proved his power as a creative director.
One of the biggest selling points of Pulp Fiction is its cast, which includes John Travolta, Samuel L. Jackson, Uma Thurman, Bruce Willis, Ving Rhames, Tim Roth, Harvey Keitel, Amanda Plummer, and Eric Stoltz. This cast comes together to tell three different stories, so to say, which are all woven together. One Pulp Fiction storyline follows two hitmen (Jackson and Travolta) whose day starts off normally before quickly descending into chaos; another storyline follows Travolta's character taking his boss's wife (Thurman) out for a little fun and things quickly going sideways when she overdoses; the final storyline follows a boxer (Willis) who has to go on the lam and, in a twisted turn of events, the Quentin Tarantino character finds himself fighting his way out of the basement of a pawnshop owner. Things get very strange and very intense easily and quickly due to Pulp Fiction's story order, making it all the more compelling to watch.
