A young couple lost on a road trip through the desert mountains get entangled with a secretive doomsday cult, and must launch a daring escape before its charismatic leader can realize his plans to unleash Armageddon.
Sounds like a 'The Hills Have Eyes' type setup, but with a different type of monster. I'm guessing that they spend the first half to two thirds trying to escape, then realize they need to stop this guy before he releases hell on earth. The events go from personal, to global.

I’m guessing that they spend the first half to two thirds trying to escape, then realize they need to stop this guy before he releases hell on earth. The events go from personal, to global. If so, I’m not sure I’d include that in the logline. Maybe just hint at it. Leave us wondering what the cult is going to do, but hint that it is bad. I think the threat of death or enslavement to the cult is enough motivation for the young couple to act.
Also, to give it a real hook. I think there needs to be something more distinctive about the cult or their leader. Something to make them different from every other doomsday cult. Something that will make your story memorable from the logline alone.
Other than that, I would probably read this script/watch the movie based on that logline. Good stuff.

Seems like just an idea. A setup for a story, and not the story itself. What is he trying to do? Find love? And what's standing in his way of getting this. Other than his impending death. I wouldn't watch a movie based on this logline. There's not enough to make me interested.

This does sound like something that could me made. Reminds me of Sleepers. But not as specific. Maybe you could include a motivation more specific that just breaking the establishment? Is it revenge?

But not as specific. Maybe you could include a motivation more specific that just breaking the establishment? Is it revenge?
Also, is there a villain? Someone actually stopping them, or is it just society in general. Would work better if we could focus on character.
The irony of the disadvantaged becoming the establishment is interesting. I like it.
