The Bride (Uma Thurman) is a former assassin and lover of a man named Bill (David Carradine), her former boss. Pregnant, and wanting to move beyond the life of an assassin to raise the child, she left him, and was about to marry another man. Bill and his other assassins, the four Deadly Vipers, arrive at the El Paso wedding chapel during the wedding rehearsal, and massacre everyone at the chapel. She attempts to tell her would-be killer Bill that the baby is his, but he shoots her in the side of her head, leaving her in a coma.

She awakens from the coma in a hospital ward four years later, Bill having decided to abort a plan to kill her in her hospital bed. She is horrified to discover she is no longer pregnant, leading her to assume her baby is dead. She escapes from the hospital after dispatching the sleazy orderly, named Buck, who had come into the room with one of his "customers". He apparently has been selling sexual access to her body as she lay comatose. After killing both men, she takes the keys to Buck's truck (a custom-painted truck with a big "Pussy Wagon" sticker on the back), and, lying in the truck, she starts to try to move her toes. She recalls the story of O-Ren Ishii, the woman that is later first on her death list. After that, her big toe starts to move. After practicing for 13 hours, she can move normally. She then uses the truck to escape the hospital.

Then the Bride travels to Okinawa, Japan, to obtain a sword from Hattori Hanzō (Sonny Chiba), a renowned swordsmith, who has retired to the life of a sushi chef. Though Hanzō has taken a blood oath to never make another sword, The Bride is able to convince him of the merit of her mission by just telling him her target: his former student Bill. Hanzo takes over a month to make the sword, and in that time she follows his suggestion to practice while staying in his upstairs room.

The Bride then travels to Tokyo, Japan, where she confronts a Deadly Viper turned Yakuza leader, O-Ren Ishii (Lucy Liu) at a restaurant named The House of Blue Leaves. We are introduced to O-Ren Ishii by a long animated sequence, as well as a film sequence, in which we learn both how she became a killer and then how she wields power over the Yakuza. At the House of Blue Leaves The Bride first severs the arm of O-Ren's lawyer, Sofie Fatale (Julie Dreyfus), then kills her immediate guards, including her personal bodyguard, Gogo Yubari (Chiaki Kuriyama). After the arrival of O-Ren's army of henchmen, the Crazy 88, The Bride is forced to fight off the entire gang, killing or wounding all, except one (a young member who hardly had any sword fighting skill at all, the Bride simply spanks him with her sword and sends him away), before dueling with O-Ren in the snow. By the duel's end, O-Ren is killed, scalped by the Bride's Hanzō sword.

The Bride dumps the badly wounded Fatale at a hospital, where she later tells Bill that she revealed the locations of the remaining Deadly Vipers under threat of further injuries and that the Bride is setting out to kill them, as well as Bill himself. Bill does not blame her and asks Fatale if The Bride knows that her daughter is still alive.

Some time after this, the Bride arrives at the house of Vernita Green (Fox) of the Deadly Viper Assassination Squad in the "Pussy Wagon", and engages her in a vicious fight, though she agrees to cease their hostilities when Vernita's four-year-old daughter arrives. Vernita attempts to apologize to the Bride, but the Bride is unmoved. The two agree to a knife fight later that evening, but before The Bride can depart, Green attempts to kill her with a gun hidden in a cereal box. The Bride throws a knife, killing Green instead. However, while she pulls out the knife from Green's body, Vernita's four-year old daughter walks in. As the Bride quickly wipes the blood off the knife, she unapologetically offers the child a chance for closure in the fut
