This is most or half the story, right? If yes, the logline needs it as it’s the hook and the stakes. Then tell us the conflict in trying to deliver the person.
>> When a young black man from the inner city
The character being black is not as significant as being from the inner city, unless it’s clarified that race is important to the story.

This can be smoother and shorter by saying the businessman is a crime boss or whatever.
>> but also outsmart the FBI.
This can likely be cut since it’s the secondary conflict and there’s not enough space to clarify it.
My two cents.
I think the moment of conflict would be the event that makes the lead character decide he wants out.
What happens that makes you lead character decide he must leave the world of organized crime?
