Julia Roberts and Brad Pitt star together for the first time in the romantic action comedy The Mexican,also starring James Gandolfini.

In The Mexican,Brad Pitt stars as Jerry Welbach,a reluctant bagman who has been given two ultimatums.The first is from his mob boss to travel to Mexico to retrieve a priceless antique pistol known as "the Mexican"...or to suffer the consequences.The second is from his girlfriend,Samantha (Julia Roberts),to end his association with the mob. Jerry figures alive and in trouble with Samantha is better than the more permanent alternative, so he heads south of the border.

Finding the pistol proves easy.Getting it home is another matter.The pistol supposedly carries a legendary curse--a legend Jerry is given every reason to believe,especially when Samantha is taken hostage by a hit man(James Gandolfini) to ensure the safe return of the pistol.

Ball & Aaron Ryder;and J.H. Wyman served as executive producers,with Paul Hellerman coproducing.
