Jackie Brown

Quentin Tarantino writes and directs this crime drama starring Pam Grier in the title role. Air stewardess Jackie Brown smuggles money on the side for gunrunner Ordell Robbie (Samuel L. Jackson).

When she is caught with $50,000 and a consignment of cocaine, she makes a deal with Ordell: if convicted, she will not shop him as long as he pays her $100,000. Meanwhile Jackie also makes a deal with the cops, promising to help convict Ordell, and enlists the help of bail bondsman Max Cherry (Robert Forster) in a daring attempt to outwit both the police and Ordell.
