    BLACKHAWK DOWN! :-) Great movie ... How about this instead? "An American military operation becomes a massacre when supporters of a ruthless Somalian regime lock down a war torn city with staunch resistance."

    “A professional gambler and an owner of a sporting parlor conspire against a corrupt U.S. Marshal in the American south of 1887.”

    Without having read your work, I’m only guessing this may fit your storyline (I’m hoping it does).

    I don’t think it’s imperative to write “true story” … save that for a SUPER line in the script. But it’s essential to trim the fat off your logline while keeping the flavor.

    Maybe … maybe not?
