The Challenge: Write a 3 or 5 act movie synopsis (1-2 paragraphs per act) that pits two heroes – one a brooding brilliant human vigilante operating out of “his city”, the other a high-profile super-powered alien who has vowed to protect the earth – against each other.
The Criteria:
- 700 words maximum
- The heroes must remain true and consistent with their respective back stories. They can grow and evolve, but the core characters cannot be compromised.
- Both heroes are going to work together as part of a larger hero group in an upcoming film, so the outcome must lay the foundation for them working together.
- The synopsis must offer an alternative or variation on the “heroes fight each other until a villain shows up and they have to work together and discover a bond of mutual respect” trope.
The Deadline: Midnight (Central Time), Tuesday, June 30 (winners to be announced July 15)
