Story Overview

Reservoir Dogs follows seven criminals who come together for a meticulously planned jewelry store heist, each using an alias and remaining strangers to one another in order to minimize risk. However, when the robbery goes disastrously wrong and the police arrive far too quickly, the surviving members regroup at a warehouse, wounded, paranoid, and increasingly suspicious.

As tensions rise, the criminals become convinced that one of them must be an informant. Trapped together and surrounded by distrust, they attempt to uncover the traitor while avoiding capture. Through fractured timelines and sharp dialogue, the film dissects loyalty, betrayal, and the fragile codes that bind criminals together, escalating toward an inevitable and violent confrontation.
