Pulp Fiction got its release at the Cannes Film Festival back in May 1994 and won the prestigious Palme d'Or, ahead of its theatrical release later that year. The movie was director Tarantino's second big film and cost just $8 million to make.

Despite the relatively modest budget, the movie became a huge hit worldwide and went on to earn an eye-popping $214 million. That alongside Quentin's 1992 debut Reservoir Dogs made Indie films a huge hit with moviegoers and saw his all-star cast propelled to the top of the A-List for their efforts.


The flick starred John Travolta as Vincent Vega, a conflicted hitman who works for crime boss Marsellus Wallace played by Ving Rhames. Vincent works alongside fellow hit man Jules Winnfield who was brought to life by Samuel L. Jackson.

Meanwhile, Uma Thurman plays Marsellus' seductive wife Mia Wallace who gets Vincent into trouble with her alcohol and drug fuelled antics when she is left in his care by her boss. Bruce Willis meanwhile plays a boxer named Butch Coolidge who ends up going on the run when he is paid to fix a fight by going down and letting his opponent win.

Butch finds himself unable to throw the bout and not only wins but kills his rival while doing so, leaving him in serious trouble with Marsellus. The boss then sends his hitmen after Butch as he tried to avoid being killed by them so he can run away with his girlfriend Fabienne (Maria de Medeiros).
