A young couple lost on a road trip through the desert mountains get entangled with a secretive doomsday cult, and must launch a daring escape before its charismatic leader can realize his plans to unleash Armageddon.

I'm guessing that they spend the first half to two thirds trying to escape, then realize they need to stop this guy before he releases hell on earth. The events go from personal, to global.

I’m guessing that they spend the first half to two thirds trying to escape, then realize they need to stop this guy before he releases hell on earth. The events go from personal, to global. If so, I’m not sure I’d include that in the logline. Maybe just hint at it. Leave us wondering what the cult is going to do, but hint that it is bad. I think the threat of death or enslavement to the cult is enough motivation for the young couple to act.
Also, to give it a real hook. I think there needs to be something more distinctive about the cult or their leader. Something to make them different from every other doomsday cult. Something that will make your story memorable from the logline alone.
Other than that, I would probably read this script/watch the movie based on that logline. Good stuff.
