Six or eight or twelve years after the Civil War, a stagecoach hurtles through the wintry Wyoming landscape. The passengers, bounty hunter John Ruth (Kurt Russell) and his fugitive Daisy Domergue (Jennifer Jason Leigh), race towards the town of Red Rock where Ruth, known in these parts as “The Hangman,” will bring Domergue to justice. Along the road, they encounter two strangers: Major Marquis Warren (Samuel L. Jackson), a black former union soldier turned infamous bounty hunter, and Chris Mannix (Walton Goggins), a southern renegade who claims to be the town’s new Sheriff. Losing their lead on the blizzard, Ruth, Domergue, Warren and Mannix seek refuge at Minnie's Haberdashery, a stagecoach stopover on a mountain pass. When they arrive at Minnie’s, they are greeted not by the proprietor but by four unfamiliar faces. Bob (Demian Bichir), who’s taking care of Minnie’s while she’s visiting her mother, is holed up with Oswaldo Mobray (Tim Roth), the hangman of Red Rock, cow-puncher Joe Gage (Michael Madsen), and Confederate General Sanford Smithers (Bruce Dern). As the storm overtakes the mountainside stopover, our eight travelers come to learn they may not make it to Red Rock after all…



Quentin Tarantino
Quentin was born in Knoxville, Tenessee, in 1963. He spent his youth in a suburb of Los Angeles and became interested in film at an early age. His passion led him, at the age of 22, to work in a video store where he spent his days with his friend Roger Avary, with whom he wrote 'Pulp Fiction' several years later. It's during this time that he decided to edit his first scripts. Owing to the sale of his scripts 'True Romance' and 'Natural Born Killers', he directed his first film 'Reservoir Dogs' in 1992. The film was widely distributed and became one of the best cop thrillers of the 90s. His second film, 'Pulp Fiction' won the Palme d'Or at the 1995 Festival de Cannes. In 1997, he shot 'Jackie Brown', one of the best films of the decade, a tribute film to American cinema of the 70s. Following an absence of five years, Quentin was back on the studio lot in 2002 with 'Kill Bill'. Originally produced as a single film, it was finally released in two parts: 'Kill Bill Volume 1' and 'Kill Bill Volume 2'. 'Death Proof', 'Inglorious Basterds' and the recent 'Django Unchained" were his following projects.
"Inglourious Basterds" (2009) / "Death Proof" (2007) / "Sin City" (director invitado) (2005) / "Kill Bill. Volumen 2" (2004) / "Kill Bill. Volumen 1" (2003) / "Jackie Brown" (1997) / "Four Rooms" (director invitado) (1995) / "Pulp Fiction" (1994) / "Reservoir Dogs" (1992) / "My Best Friend's Birthday" (corto, 1987)
