In the wake of
Pulp Fiction
, the resurrected Travolta became one of the hardest-working actors in Hollywood, and on Tarantino's advice he accepted the starring role in director Barry Sonnenfeld's 1995 Elmore Leonard adaptation
Get Shorty
. Acclaimed by many critics as his finest performance to date, it was another major hit, and he followed it by appearing in the 1996
John Woo action tale Broken Arrow
. Phenomenon was another smash that same summer, and by Christmas Travolta was back in theaters as a disreputable angel in Michael. The following year he reunited with Woo in the highly successful thriller
Face/Off
, which he trailed with a supporting turn in Nick Cassavetes' She's So Lovely. After 1997's Mad City, Travolta began work on Primary Colors, Mike Nichols' political satire, portraying a charismatic, Bill Clinton-like U.S. President. An adaptation of the acclaimed book A Civil Action and the military drama
The Thin Red Line
is soon to follow.
