Jackie Brown: Screenplay

By Jamie Tota

In 1995 Jackie Brown, a flight attendant for a Mexican airline, makes ends meet by smuggling money from Mexico into the United States for Ordell Robbie, a gun runner living in Los Angeles. Ordell is under watch by the ATF, necessitating him to use couriers. When another courier, Beaumont Livingston, is arrested, Ordell assumes Livingston will become an informant to avoid jail time. Ordell arranges for $10,000 bail with bondsman Max Cherry, then lures Livingston into a car trunk and kills him. Acting on information Livingston had already shared, ATF agent Ray Nicolette and LAPD detective Mark Dargus intercept Jackie as she returns to the United States with Ordell's cash and a bag of cocaine (though Jackie was unaware the cocaine was stashed in her luggage). She is sent to a county jail, alerting Ordell that she might become an informant. Having received payment from Ordell, Max retrieves Jackie from the jail and becomes attracted to her. Ordell arrives at Jackie's house to kill her, but she pulls a gun that she has taken from Max's car. She negotiates a deal with Ordell whereby she pretends to help the authorities while smuggling in $550,000 of Ordell's money, enough for him to retire.
