What is Quentin Tarantino's first feature film?

Quentin Tarantino's first feature film was Reservoir Dogs. Released in 1992, it was his feature-length directorial debut and introduced the crime-film style that would define much of his career.

The film follows a group of diamond thieves whose planned jewelry heist collapses after a traitor is suspected within the crew. Its nonlinear storytelling, sharp dialogue, pop-culture references, and graphic violence became Tarantino trademarks. The movie was made on a modest independent budget and helped attract major attention at the Sundance Film Festival.

Reservoir Dogs is sometimes confused with Pulp Fiction because Pulp Fiction became Tarantino's international breakthrough and won the Palme d'Or at Cannes in 1994. Pulp Fiction was his second feature film, following Reservoir Dogs. Tarantino had also written screenplays before directing Reservoir Dogs, including True Romance and Natural Born Killers, but those were directed by other filmmakers.
