As Nazi forces ready a counterattack after the first wave of the Warsaw Uprising, a scrappy Polish courier must cross the occupied city with three boy-scouts turned soldiers to recruit their battalion for a dangerous mission — liberate a concentration camp before the SS can kill its inmates.
Good point about the notion of a single plot this also strongly relates to Aristotle's argument for a unity of action of a plot in the Poetics. That's why I didn't specify a concentration camp rather only mentioned the Warsaw uprising in my suggestion. Wanted to add also that I agree that the liberaRead more

Wanted to add also that I agree that the liberation of a concentration camp would be far higher ambition than aiding a ghetto uprising. Higher stakes and originality do make this a high concept.

Getting a girl seams like a far lesser goal than SAVING HIS LIFE. I think best to focus on the bigger stakes at hand rather than the smaller ones.

Getting a girl seams like a far lesser goal than SAVING HIS LIFE. I think best to focus on the bigger stakes at hand rather than the smaller ones.
As previously mentioned in other comments this goal appears problematic. I think the reason is because in the currant draft of the logline the girl goal is unrelated to the inciting incident. This makes the girl goal a (as I like to call it) “tacked on” goal that is more of a writing convenience than a plot requirement.
If he is a lowly criminal that aids the police the mafia will do away with him in a heart beat providing they find out. The police will put him in jail if he fails to deliver mission critical information to put the big bad guy behind bars. In jail the mafia will do away with him in a heart beat and they will definitely find out in this instance. This means his only option to stay alive is to put the bad guy or mafia boss behind bars.
Also better to specify how he will help the police because then we can clearly imagine what kind of action he will take during act 2.
Hope this helps.
