Sin City, also known as Frank Miller's Sin City, is a 2005 American crime thriller film written, produced and directed by Frank Miller, Robert Rodriguez, and Quentin Tarantino, starring Bruce Willis, Jessica Alba, Mickey Rourke, Clive Owen, the late Rutger Hauer, Nick Offerman, and Elijah Wood. It is based on Miller's graphic novel series of the same name. A sequel to the film, Sin City: A Dame to Kill For, was released in 2014.
In this quartet of neo-noir tales, a mysterious salesman (Josh Hartnett) narrates a tragic story of co-dependency, while a musclebound vigilante (Mickey Rourke) tears his way through the criminal underworld in search of his lost love (Jaime King). In another part of the city, a grizzled cop (Bruce Willis) foils the ambitions of a child-killer (Nick Stahl), and an ex-prostitute (Brittany Murphy) evades her ex-pimp (Benicio del Toro) with the help of her new boyfriend, Dwight (Clive Owen).
