The last married man on Earth takes on all contenders to win back his kidnapped wife on a bloody, gladiatorial game show.

Event so, the premise for “The Hunger Games” had to have a REASON why teens were forced to fight to the death. And that reason is: it’s Panem’s way of punishing the districts for rebelling in the distant past.
In your dystopia, there has to be a REASON why such gladiatorial games shows even exist. What is it? A REASON why people are forced to compete. Which is…?
What was the REASON the wife was kidnapped? And by whom? What is the REASON he must participate in the game to liberate her?

I think the current time frame for the premise makes it too easy for him to reboot his life. That is, the risk, the struggle, the stakes are considerably less than he would incur after having locked into long term commitments like a career, a marriage, a mortgage, raising a family, etc.
fwiw.

My sense of the logline is that the lawyer became a lawyer at the behest of his girlfriend. Had it not been for her, he would have not chosen to pursue that career path. This implies he gave up his definition of a dream job and dream life for her definition. Now he has a choice to make: fulfill herRead more

Now he has a choice to make: fulfill her dream for him (out of of duty, love, remorse) or opt out of her dream and pursue his own, his own objective goal which is…?
Well, what is his objective goal? What is his own personal dream?
