True Romance (1993) is an American romantic crime film written by Quentin Tarantino and directed by Tony Scott, director of Top Gun and Beverly Hills Cop II. It stars Christian Slater and Patricia Arquette with an ensemble cast.

Plot Synopsis:
When inexperienced call girl Alabama Whitman is paid to seduce comic-book-nerd and Elvis fanatic Clarence Worley, she doesn't expect to fall for him. But these two lost souls seem to be made for each other and quickly pledge their love, marrying at Detroit's city hall. Clarence discovers some newfound bravado and attempts to retrieve Alabama's possessions from her pimp, Drexl, who isn't exactly eager to let Alabama go. Fleeing Drexl's apartment, Clarence not only leaves a trail of bodies, but also inadvertently mistakes a suitcase of uncut cocaine for one with his wife's clothing, and the chase is on. The unlikely newlyweds head for Los Angeles hoping to sell the cocaine and make enough money to leave the country. Unfortunately, they also have to contend with the mob, yuppie drug dealers and the police.
