A reclusive ornithologist finds his life turned upside down when everybody mistakes him for his namesake famous secret agent. He must escape dangerous people and evil henchmen to stop the villain before his plan destroys the habitat of an extremely rare bird.

Thanks again Nir Shelter.

The idea was that he kills two birds with one stone, as it were. By stopping the villain's plans for world domination he also saves the bird's habitat, or vice versa. I guess that wasn't clear enough either. Basically his priorities might be a bit askew ? caring more for the birds than people ? in the beginning, but storytelling is about change occurring in the protagonist, so obviously he gets the priorities right in the end. I guess that could be more clearly stated in the logline.

I suppose I could try to bake the space opera nature of it in with the goal, just ?as long as it doesn't make the logline even longer than it is.

I was going to have him travel to a certain planet to find and study a totally fictional type of bird, the Volcano Phoenix, which lays its eggs in a volcano and the eggs only hatch when there's an eruption, only that can't happen since the villain has built his secret lair in the volcano.

I think I may have to work on the logline some more.

Thank you dpg. I like your version.
