Jackie Brown is a flight attendant who gets caught smuggling her boss' gun money on a flight. Lucky for her, the Fed Ray Nicolet and the LA Cop Mark Dargus decide to team up in order to arrest the arms dealer she works for, whose name they don't even know. She has to choose between telling Nicolet and Dargus about Ordell Robbie (the arms dealer) and get her freedom -except that if Ordell suspects you're talking about him, you're dead- or keep her mouth shut and do some time. When her bail bondsman falls in love with her Jackie comes up with a plan to play the Feds off against Ordell and the guys he works with and walk away with the money. But she needs Max's help. No one is going to stand in the way of his million dollar payoff...
