The answer to what was contained within the famous Pulp Fiction briefcase may finally have been solved after almost three decades.
One of the most well known MacGuffins - that’s something that drives the story forward while having absolutely no bearing on it physically whatsoever, much like the necklace in Titanic – in history is Pulp Fiction’s briefcase.
The combination of the briefcase was, of course, 666 – the Devil’s number, which brought about the theory that Marcellus Wallace’s own soul was contained within after selling it to the underworld in exchange for his success as a gangster.

The case emits a mysterious golden glow each time it is opened, and is secured with a Franzen combination lock, but there’s not much else to clue fans in on its true contents.

But now you need wait no longer, as artificial intelligence has stepped in to put the question to bed once and for all.
With director Quentin Tarantino telling fans that the case’s contents are “whatever viewers want them to be”, AI thinks it has a better answer…
Daily Star chatted with ChatGPT to see what’s really contained within the leather case.
It had three prevailing theories – and two of them were a lot more tangible than a lost soul.

Though AI admits there is “no definitive answer” to what’s in the case, it suggested “diamonds” or “gold bars”.
According to ChatGPT: “Many believe that the briefcase contains diamonds due to their high value and the glowing golden light that shines through the case. Diamonds are often associated with criminal activities and large sums of money.
“Some speculate that the briefcase contains gold bars, which could explain the golden glow when it is opened,” however.

ChatGPT also weighed in on the soul theory, explaining: “This theory is based on the band-aid on the back of Wallace’s neck, which some interpret as a mark of soul extraction.”
But the AI warned: “It’s important to remember that these theories are simply interpretations and not official explanations. Quentin Tarantino himself has not confirmed or denied any specific content for the briefcase.
“The ambiguity surrounding the briefcase is part of what makes Pulp Fiction a unique and thought-provoking film.”
