A burger-loving hit man, his philosophical partner, a drug-addled gangster's moll and a washed-up boxer converge in this sprawling, comedic crime caper. Their adventures unfurl in three stories that ingeniously trip back and forth in time.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The adrenaline shot to the heart was filmed backwards; Thurman actually had the needle pulled OUT of her chest on reverse film.
This film single-handedly resurrected John Travolta's career and made Tarantino the most quoted filmmaker of the 90s.
