Synopsis
The woman everyone underestimates may be quietly running the whole game. Quentin Tarantino's "Jackie Brown," adapted from Elmore Leonard's novel "Rum Punch," stars Pam Grier as Jackie Brown, a middle-aged flight attendant for a small Mexican airline who gets caught smuggling cash into the country for gunrunner Ordell Robbie (Samuel L. Jackson). ATF agent Ray Nicolette (Michael Keaton) and LAPD detective Mark Dargus (Michael Bowen) want her help nailing her boss, whose name they don't even know. Jackie faces a tough choice: help them bring Ordell down and win her freedom - knowing that Ordell kills anyone he suspects of talking - or keep quiet and do time. That's when she meets Max Cherry (Robert Forster, in an Oscar-nominated role), the weary, soft-spoken bail bondsman in his 50s who posts her bail and quietly falls for her. Jackie hatches a clever scheme to play the feds against Ordell and his crew, including ex-con Louis Gara (Robert De Niro) and stoner beach bunny Melanie Ralston (Bridget Fonda), and walk away with half a million dollars. But she'll need Max's help to pull it off, and nobody is going to stand between Ordell and his money without a fight.
