Plot summary
Three stories unfold in Basin City. Marv, an ex-convict, spends a night with Goldie and wakes to find her dead beside him; he flees the arriving police and sets out to learn who killed her, though his parole officer Lucille warns that his mind may be playing tricks on him. Aging police officer John Hartigan, whose heart is failing, moves to rescue eleven-year-old Nancy Callahan from a serial child-killer whose father is a powerful senator, while his corrupt partner Bob urges him to walk away. Dwight McCarthy warns off Jackie Boy, the abusive ex-boyfriend of his girlfriend Shellie, then follows him into Old Town, the red-light district run by the prostitutes' leader Gail.

Did you know?!Facts and trivia about Sin City (2005)
Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.
- Robert Rodriguez resigned from the Directors Guild of America after it refused to credit him and Frank Miller as a directing team, since Miller had never directed before. Miller refused to take sole credit, so Rodriguez gave up his Guild membership to keep their joint credit.
- Quentin Tarantino directed Sin City's drive-to-the-pits scene, in which Dwight talks with the dead Jack Rafferty (Benicio del Toro), and was paid one dollar for the work.
- Several scenes of Sin City were shot before any actor had signed on, so stand-ins were used; the real actors were then digitally added into the film during post-production.
- Sin City's color process renders most of the film in black and white while retaining or adding color for selected objects, a look the film drew particular recognition for.
