Eight men eat breakfast at a Los Angeles diner
before carrying out a diamond heist. Six of them use aliases: Mr.
Blonde, Mr. Blue, Mr. Brown, Mr. Orange, Mr. Pink, and Mr. White. The
others are mob boss Joe Cabot and his son and underboss "Nice Guy" Eddie Cabot, who are responsible for planning the job.
After the heist, White flees the crime scene with Orange, who was
shot during the escape and is bleeding severely. At one of Joe's
warehouses, White and Orange rendezvous with Pink, who believes that the
job was a setup
and that the police were waiting for them. White informs him that Brown
is dead, Blue and Blonde are missing, and Blonde murdered several
civilians during the heist; White is furious that Joe, his old friend,
would employ such a "psychopath". Pink has hidden the diamonds nearby;
he argues with White over whether or not they should get medical
attention for Orange. Blonde arrives with a kidnapped policeman, Marvin
Nash.
Some time earlier, Blonde meets with the Cabots. Blonde has completed
a four-year jail sentence. To reward him for not having given Joe's
name to the authorities for a lighter sentence, they recruit him for the
job.
In the present, White and Pink beat Nash for information. Eddie
arrives and orders them to retrieve the diamonds and ditch the getaway
vehicles, leaving Blonde in charge of Nash and Orange. Nash denies
knowledge, but Blonde ignores him and resumes the torture, cutting off
his ear with a straight razor. He is about to set Nash on fire, but is shot dead by Orange. Orange explains to Nash that he is an undercover police officer and that the police will arrive soon.
Hours earlier, Brown is shot and killed while escaping from the crime
scene with Orange and White. When Orange and White attempt to steal
another car, Orange is shot by the driver of the car, whom he shoots and
kills in response.
In the present, when Eddie, Pink, and White return, Orange tries to
convince them that Blonde planned to kill them and steal the diamonds
for himself. Eddie kills Nash and accuses Orange of lying, since Blonde
was loyal to his father. Joe arrives with news that the police have
killed Blue. He is about to execute Orange, who he suspects is the
traitor behind the setup, but White intervenes and holds Joe at
gunpoint. Eddie points his own weapon at White, creating a Mexican standoff. All three shoot; both Cabots are killed, and White and Orange are wounded.
Pink, the only person who has not been shot, takes the diamonds and
flees. As White cradles the dying Orange in his arms, Orange confesses
that he is a police officer. White holds his gun against Orange's head.
The police storm the warehouse and order White to drop his gun. Gunshots
sound.
