A?Bioweapons Collector must make the hazardous journey through?sacred caverns of the ?Land of the Souls?to prevent ?a pandemic ?from the ?virus he created.
and just in case that didn’t work I also decided this is fine:

Screenwriting guru Blake Snyder has often referred to the log line as the DNA of your film, and I believe that statement to be very true.
