Jackie Brown

“This Christmas, Santa's got a brand new bag.”

Jackie Brown (Pam Grier), a flight attendant, agrees to smuggle cash between the U.S. and Mexico for a local kingpin. The scheme puts her between Ordell Robbie (Samuel L. Jackson) and federal agents, each side certain they can use her to get what they want. She moves through the neon-lit margins of the underworld, playing each player against the others, until she's sitting alone in a car at dawn with a duffel bag at her feet.
