Get Shorty

Get Shorty

1995

When Miami loan shark Chili Palmer (John Travolta) travels to Los Angeles to get money from a "client," he ends up getting involved in the film business. His foot in the door is washed-up producer Gene Hackman, who owes the mob megabucks. But Palmer must juggle a Miami rival, an egotistical star (Danny DeVito) and a local loan shark chasing Hackman in this comic cocktail.

Drug smuggling. Racketeering. Loan sharking. Welcome to Hollywood!
