Renee must convince her group to stick to the plan in a future reality show where people die and the only reward is survival.

“The Running Man” meets “The Hunger Games meets “The Maze Runner” (and a lot of other movies!!).
So let’s look at those three loglines:
The Running Man (1987):
“An unjustly accused prisoner in 2019 is given a slim chance at freedom if he enters a battle-to-the-death on a television game show. (Rotten tomatoes)
The games playground is divided into several small districts!!
The Hunger Games (2012):
“Set in a future where the Capitol selects a boy and girl from the TWELVE DISTRICTS to fight to the death on live television, Katniss Everdeen volunteers to take her younger sister’s place for the latest match.”
The Maze Runner (2014):
“In the post-apocalyptic era, a boy who remembers only his first name wakes up in a huge maze, surrounded by other boys. They attempt to unlock the secrets of the maze and gain their freedom.”
Nestled somewhere in between The Hunger Games and Divergent series is The Maze Runner. Like those two, it?s centered around young adults and set in a futuristic society. “Lord of the Flies” meets “Cube” meets “The Hunger Games”.
GIVE ME THE SAME THING, ONLY DIFFERENT!
So ‘what’s’ your story really about, and ‘what character flaw’ sets the protags/antags apart from the characters in the in the above loglines? Is the girl unjustly accused from ‘something’., is she a natural born leader? What sort are earthly world are leading characters living in? etc…
” Renee, a natural born leader, …..

Yes Jax, the part I "quoted" is out of the book Treblinka by Jean-Francois Steiner. I know it is hard to believe, even when it is told (seen) by camp witnesses. It's an interesting point of making him the protag, but he was not in the camp (because he was somewhere else and did not take that train),Read more

It’s an interesting point of making him the protag, but he was not in the camp (because he was somewhere else and did not take that train), so HIS story is not interesting. He could lead the story of with testifying in Nuremberg.

Wanted to push Update instead i pushed To trash, oops. But the info is up again!! Only a couple of months before the dismantling of the camp it is almost impossible for even a highly decorated officer to convince the technicians to spare their lives. For only a woman, I guess it is impossible. So thRead more
Wanted to push Update instead i pushed To trash, oops. But the info is up again!! Only a couple of months before the dismantling of the camp it is almost impossible for even a highly decorated officer to convince the technicians to spare their lives. For only a woman, I guess it is impossible. So the discussion is/was is there enough material to keep this story interesting. A lot of interesting stuff can happen in the train but in the camp, I’m still not sure. She’s literally only a few minutes in the camp before she and her kids are gassed. What kind of long story is there….? I somehow must tweak the events!
I like your logline although it ironically literally buries the lead characters. Furthermore she did not make any atempt to get out the train. Only when arriving in the camp she realizes the gravity of the situation.
Based on true events. While on holiday, a Nazi officers wife and here two sons accidentally embark a Jew transport train , they end up in a dismantling Nazi dead camp.?
