Pulp Fiction is a 1994 American black comedy neo-noir crime film written and directed by Quentin Tarantino, from a story by Tarantino and Roger Avary. Tarantino cast John Travolta in Pulp Fiction because Michael Madsen, who had played Vic Vega in Reservoir Dogs, chose to appear in Kevin Costner's Wyatt Earp instead. Travolta accepted a bargain rate for his services — sources claim either USD$100,000 or USD$140,000 — but the film's success and his Academy Award nomination for Best Actor revitalized his career.

John Travolta and Samuel L. Jackson play Vincent Vega and Jules Winnfield, mob contract killers (hitmen) with a penchant for philosophical discussions. Pulp Fiction won the Palme d'Or at the 1994 Cannes Film Festival, and was a major critical and commercial success upon its U.S. release. It was nominated for seven Oscars, including Best Picture; Tarantino and Avary won for Best Original Screenplay. John Travolta, Samuel L. Jackson, and Uma Thurman, each received Academy Award nominations for their roles and revitalized and/or elevated their careers.
