In 1995, Jackie Brown, a middle-aged flight attendant for a small Mexican airline, makes ends meet smuggling money from Mexico into the United States for Ordell Robbie, a black-market gun runner living in the Los Angeles metropolitan area. Ordell is under close watch by the ATF, forcing him to use couriers. When he learns that another of his couriers, Beaumont Livingston, has been arrested, he assumes Livingston will become an informant in order to avoid jail time. Ordell arranges for bail with bondsman Max Cherry, then coaxes Livingston into a car trunk and murders him.
