ANGELIKA’S NOTE

Quentin Tarantino (KILL BILL, PULP FICTION) brings his signature wit and charm to the helm of his 1997 film, in which a middle-aged woman finds herself in the middle of a huge conflict that will either make her a profit or cost her life. Featuring a star-making performance by Pam Grier, and a flawless ensemble cast including Samuel L. Jackson, Robert Forster, Bridget Fonda, Michael Keaton and Robert de Niro, JACKIE BROWN took home the Silver Berlin Bear at the Berlin International Film Festival, as well as receiving both Academy Award and Golden Globe nods. Chicago Sun-Times raves, "This is the movie that proves Tarantino is the real thing."

SYNOPSIS

When flight attendant Jackie Brown (Pam Grier) is busted smuggling money for her arms dealer boss, Ordell Robbie (Samuel L. Jackson), agent Ray Nicolette (Michael Keaton) and detective Mark Dargus (Michael Bowen) want her help to bring down Robbie. Facing jail time for her silence or death for her cooperation, Brown decides instead to double-cross both parties and make off with the smuggled money.
