In 1892, an army captain is ordered to escort his erstwhile enemy, a dying Cheyenne chief, through hostile territory so he can be buried in his tribal lands.
Who is the territory hostile for? ?I haven't seen the film but, for me, I want to know whether the army captain is having to protect the chief against his own men because he has orders or he's got to put himself at risk in Native American lands with the chief having to vouch for him.

Can you give the captain a characteristic so we know how he potentially feels about this mission?

I've really liked this idea since you first posted. I love the whole "video game vs reality" thing - Ready Player One is one of my favourite books - the film... not without its merits but it lost a little of the magic for me.

I’ve really liked this idea since you first posted. I love the whole “video game vs reality” thing – Ready Player One is one of my favourite books – the film… not without its merits but it lost a little of the magic for me.
Anyway… back to the logline!
Is the point where he starts to lose his grip on reality the midpoint? I kinda wanna know how this changes him and his goal. What’s the second part of Act II? Maybe it could be tweaked simply by changing it to “struggles to keep a grip on reality”.
What happens in the final act? I know that a logline isn’t supposed to give away the ending but it can influence the feel of the logline. At the moment, I sense a downbeat ending for this. He gets absorbed into his world that he created and ultimately prefers that to the real world. Is that the case?
Detail obsessed – could be perfectionist?
Virtual reality – VR?
Part of me wonders if he’d be more interesting if he was actually working on his own, building a VR game to challenge the big companies that he can sell to live comfortably. His life is a desolate wasteland though, he has nothing. This makes the bright lights of the world he creates much more appealing and makes his slide into it more understandable.
Basically, I just want to know more but in a good way. I don’t feel like this logline lacks anything, but if I were a?producer, I guess I’d want to have more of an idea to the tone of the film.
Hope this makes sense. Looking forward to seeing where this goes. Got a title? The name for his game perhaps?

You’ve put it under “Crime”. Surely this is a SciFi? I get that it’s about crime but it’s defining characteristic and its hook is pure science fiction.
Is this a series or just a one off?
I like the idea of this but I would aim to trim the logline down and figure out what is essential information and what is just a “nice to have”.
