Pulp Fiction is a 1994 American film written and directed by Quentin Tarantino, weaving together several interconnected crime stories involving Los Angeles gangsters, a boxer, and a pair of diner bandits, told out of chronological order. The film's nonlinear structure, mix of graphic violence with lengthy, pop-culture-driven dialogue, and revival of John Travolta's career were widely credited with reshaping independent and mainstream American filmmaking in the 1990s. Pulp Fiction won the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival and the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay, and it is frequently cited as one of the most influential American films of its decade.
