About Jackie Brown
This sly crime thriller follows a flight attendant who masterminds a dangerous double-cross to outwit both criminals and law enforcement. Adapted from Elmore Leonard's novel Rum Punch, Quentin Tarantino’s third feature film, following Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction, features a standout cast including Pam Grier, Samuel L. Jackson, Robert Forster, Robert De Niro, Bridget Fonda, and Michael Keaton. Forster received a Supporting Actor Oscar nomination alongside Golden Globe nods for Grier and Jackson, and a BAFTA nomination for Quentin Tarantino’s screenplay. [154 min; drama, thriller; English]
