STORY  
Set in greater Los Angeles, "Pulp Fiction" is a dark, violent comedy that satirizes our expectations of a crime drama. The film is made up of three stories that are not told in chronological order. The three stories are cleverly interconnected, and Tarantino found a way to make them resonate as a unified whole.

The first story, called "Vincent Vega and Marsellus Wallace's Wife," stars John Travolta and Uma Thurman. Marsellus Wallace is a crime boss who is married to the seductive Mia. On an occasion when Marsellus must be out of town, he orders Vincent Vega, one of his hit men, to entertain Mia. Vincent has heard that Marsellus had a man killed just for giving his wife a foot massage, so he knows he must be careful. At first things go well for Vincent as he and Mia dance a strange rendition of the twist at a weird 1950s theme restaurant. But then Mia has a nasty reaction to some heroin she snorts, and Vincent is in big trouble.

The second story, titled "The Gold Watch," stars Bruce Willis. Crime boss Marsellus orders aging professional boxer Butch Coolidge to take a dive in an upcoming bout, but Butch bets big on himself and then wins the fight. Butch is preparing to get out of town with his girlfriend when he realizes that his gold watch, a family heirloom passed down for four generations, has been left behind. When Butch goes back to retrieve the watch, he endures some harrowing experiences, and along the way he rescues someone who is being brutally raped by perverted rednecks.

The third story, features Samuel L. Jackson, who plays Jules Winnfield, another hit man who works for Marsellus. During a hit, Jules' life is saved by what he takes to be divine intervention. As Jules and Vincent drive away, Vincent accidentally shoots a man riding in the back seat, spattering blood all over the car's interior. Jules and Vincent can't figure out how to cover up the murders they've committed, so Marsellus sends over his quirky problem-solving specialist, who soon arrives in a tuxedo to take charge of the situation.
