Write it. Live it. But try not to be it.

Oscar® winner Michael Caine is "fun to watch" (The Hollywood Reporter) as a seedy paperback writer turned private eye in this "witty" (Variety) and "entertaining" (Los Angeles Times) spoof from director Mike Hodges (Croupier). "At once a deft parody of a genre and loving tribute to it" (Time), Pulp is "an inspired piece of screen fiction that ribs every pulp hero from Sam Spade to James Bond" (NY Daily News)!

Having just finished his latest pulp novel, The Organ Grinder, Mickey King (Caine) agrees to ghostwrite the autobiography of the infamous Preston Gilbert (Mickey Rooney). Whisked to Gilbert's island villa, he finds himself suddenly channeling his fictional sleuths when Gilbert is murdered. Now, as he investigates the suspects, including a mistress, the ex-wife and the Mafia minions, he realizes that he too could fall victim to the plot!
