      scripts and loglines are written in the present tense because things happen on screen right-now.

      Also, stories are about what the lead character must do. Your logline attempt is just a set-up, the story would be about what happens after he is kidnapped.
      Here is an example: (Yours would be different)
      —–
      “When he is left for dead in a locked room, a kidnapped billionaire must use his childhood skills as a street magician to break from his prison and get revenge on his abductors.”
      —–
      Hope that helped.

      Take a look at the wonderful resources for writing loglines that this site has to offer.

      Yours is written in past tense and doesn’t work to generate a hook. Write what must be done, why and what will not be achieved or lost if such act is not done.
