I phrased the logline to spotlight the topical issue around the time of the movie’s release, how Vietnam vets didn’t get the respect and appreciation ?they felt they deserved for fighting a foolish war for a lost cause. ?Particularly since it was not a war of their own choosing — they were drafted, military service being compulsory at the time.
That’s the emotional core the movie tapped into, that created the Rambo film franchise.

After a psychotic Egyptian god kills his father and takes his eyes, the heir to the kingdom must team up with a mortal to get his eyes back and defeat the tyrant.
I think the biggest problem with the concept is that there are two heroes – Horus and the mortal, and essentially one could write a logline for either of them. This means that the audience didn’t empathise with a particular?character and the experience was rather superficial.
