      This story sounds like it would be much more dramatic if he was aware of the treasure in his storage. The way the logline reads makes me think of a passive character reacting to the mob and US military.

      Sounds interesting. Please provide input so I or the community can assist.

      • What are some traits of this moving man? “A dimwitted mover”
      • What is his goal – besides evading the mob/gov? What is he trying to achieve for the majority of your story? E.g. Proof that Lee Harvey Oswald is alive and well in Italy or prove his innocence?
      • Valuable objects are vague, leaves way too much to the imagination – what are they or it? This maybe your hook.
      • What are the stakes? If he fails does he lose his family or be killed?

      Take care.

      Mover is a former stuntman turn mover due to lack of movie work in order to support his family.  The objects are alien artifacts that the military want back and also stolen mob money he has but unaware of.

      Any main character who “finds himself” in a situation is automatically going to appear passive. It’s a phrase I always advise against using — because if the logline is presented this way, and the script plays out this way, it will not be compelling.

      As was already asked: what is his goal, and what are the stakes? Present the story THAT way and it becomes active, intriguing. That’s why so many people use the word “must” in their loglines…this person MUST do this thing or that bad thing will happen. Give us goals and obstacles. Give us the protagonist, antagonist, conflict, and stakes. You kind of have those things but it’s vague and uninteresting. A stuntman turned mover fighting the mob and the military is definitely not uninteresting, so you just need to sculpt the story elements into a more captivating sentence.

      “An out-of-work stuntman must evade the military and the mob when a part time gig as a mover unknowingly places alien artifacts and stolen cash in his possession.”

      Now that isn’t perfect or anything, but it’s the stuff we need to know to be interested. If we’re wondering exactly how he got these items and when he finds out about it, we’ll read the script. You don’t have to tell us everything, just make us want to read more.
