Quentin Tarantino's debut film - wild, intelligent and very, very cool: After a carefully planned robbery goes wrong, the surviving gangsters gather in an abandoned warehouse. They realize that they have been betrayed by a police informer. A cop is tortured and killed, the criminals lie in wait for each other. And their boss sends over "nice Eddie"...
The unusual narrative style, the quotable dialog, the merciless brutality and the pop culture affinity of both the characters and the director quickly made the film a cult classic. Tim Roth's role as Mr. Orange made the actor internationally famous. "The greatest independent film of all time!" (Empire)
