Pulp Fiction is a 1994 American crime film written and directed by Quentin Tarantino from a story he conceived with Roger Avary. It tells four intertwining tales of crime and violence in Los Angeles, California. The film stars John Travolta, Samuel L. Jackson, Bruce Willis, Tim Roth, Ving Rhames, and Uma Thurman. The title refers to the pulp magazines and hardboiled crime novels popular during the mid-20th century, known for their graphic violence and punchy dialogue.

The film is divided into five chapters, each of which tells a different story. The first chapter follows Vincent Vega (Travolta) and Jules Winnfield (Jackson), two hitmen who are tasked with retrieving a briefcase for their boss, Marsellus Wallace (Rhames). The second chapter follows Wallace's wife, Mia (Thurman), who goes on a date with Vincent while Wallace is out of town. The third chapter follows boxer Butch Coolidge (Willis), who double-crosses Wallace and flees with his money. The fourth chapter follows Winston Wolfe (Harvey Keitel), a fixer who is called in to clean up the mess after Butch kills a police officer. The fifth chapter is a prequel to the first chapter, and it tells the story of how Jules and Vincent met.

Pulp Fiction is a complex and nonlinear film that is known for its violence, its humor, and its iconic characters. It is considered to be one of the greatest films of all time, and it has been influential on other films and television shows.

The film was a critical and commercial success, grossing over $213 million at the box office. It was nominated for seven Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Original Screenplay. It won the award for Best Original Screenplay.

Pulp Fiction is a classic film that continues to be enjoyed by audiences today. It is a must-see for any fan of cinema.
