Jackie Brown (1997)

Jackie Brown, a flight attendant, smuggles money from Mexico into the United States for Ordell Robbie, a gun runner in Los Angeles. When his courier, Beaumont Livingston, is arrested, Robbie bails him out with bail bondsman Max Cherry, then executes Livingston later that evening, fearing that Livingston would turn informant. Acting on information Livingston gave them, ATF agent Ray Nicolette and two LAPD detective Harold Ryker and Mark Dargus intercept Brown with Robbie’s cash and a bag of cocaine, she is unaware was intended for Melanie Ralston. She is sent to jail, which alerts Robbie. Having been paid by Robbie, Cherry bails out Brown. Robbie arrives at Brown’s apartment shortly thereafter to kill her, but she pulls a gun on him. She negotiates a deal with Robbie whereby she pretends to help the authorities while smuggling in $550,000 of his money.

Robbie brings in Louis Gara, a criminal associate and former cellmate, just released from prison, Apollo, a Staffordshire Bull Terrier that who with Robbie and Gara, and Sheronda. Meanwhile, Ralston, Robbie’s surfer-girl attempts to convince Gara to betray Robbie and take the money for themselves. Gara informs Robbie about this but Robbie replies he is not concerned about her. Unaware of the plan to smuggle in $550,000, Nicolette, Ryker and Dargus devise a sting to catch Robbie during a transfer of $50,000. Unbeknownst to all, Brown plans to keep the $500,000 for herself.
