Quentin Tarantino's Jackie Brown is now streaming for free. The 1997 crime thriller, which also features Samuel L. Jackson and Michael Keaton, is available on Fawesome TV, an ad-supported streaming platform that carries older films and television shows, according to a report by Collider.
The film earned $39 million at the box office on a budget of $12 million when it was released nearly 30 years ago. It has never reached the same cultural profile as Pulp Fiction or Tarantino's later films, but it has maintained a loyal following. Pam Grier stars as the title character, a flight attendant caught between a gun smuggler and federal agents running a sting operation.
Fawesome TV is a free service supported by ads, making Jackie Brown available to anyone with an internet connection who is willing to sit through commercials.
Tarantino himself is not currently focused on directing. His next project as a writer is The Adventures of Cliff Booth, a direct sequel to Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. Brad Pitt returns as Cliff Booth. Leonardo DiCaprio is not expected to reprise his role as Rick Dalton. Tarantino wrote the script, but David Fincher is directing the film. It is scheduled to arrive in IMAX in November before debuting on Netflix in December.
For now, Jackie Brown on Fawesome TV gives audiences a chance to revisit or discover one of the lesser-discussed entries in Tarantino's filmography, without paying anything beyond the time it takes to sit through a few commercials.
