My new movie logline

Three People. One Mission. One Last Chance.

Three people, three different lives, and one common goal: to finally make their lives mean something.

Ethan Bennett, Tom Hayes, and Jake Wilson have nothing in common. Each of them has grown up through their own struggles, carrying a different past and a different dream for the future.

When their paths cross, they decide to risk everything and carry out a seemingly impossible, perfectly organized heist. Their goal is simple: to make enough money to leave behind the lives they have always hated and finally live the lives they have always dreamed of.

But a heist this big comes with a price.

As their plan unfolds, the three heroes are forced to face betrayal, fear, violence, and decisions they can never take back. And as they get closer to their goal, they begin to realize that they may have to destroy everything around them to gain the freedom they have always wanted.

If the heist succeeds, their dreams could become reality.

If it fails, they could lose everything.

Three people. One mission.

One last chance to change their lives forever.

Will they make it?

Is this the logline: "When their paths cross, they decide to risk everything and carry out a seemingly impossible, perfectly organized heist. Their goal is simple: to make enough money to leave behind the lives they have always hated and finally live the lives they have always dreamed of."

Or is this it: "As their plan unfolds, the three heroes are forced to face betrayal, fear, violence, and decisions they can never take back. And as they get closer to their goal, they begin to realize that they may have to destroy everything around them to gain the freedom they have always wanted."

Other than that, it seems like parts of a synopsis or trailer and/or pitch deck script.

This reads more like a summary or blurb than a logline.

Loglines are super short. Two sentences, or close to.

Sorry I meant story synopsis you are right Elle Bolan Michael Dzurak

Michael Dzurak I think it can be said in just a few words, "Greed complicates families and friendships."

Not a logline, but to the point. And true.

Branson Tiara

Love the setup, three people from different backgrounds united by one desperate goal is a solid heist foundation, especially with real reasons behind it, not just the money. The line about destroying everything to gain freedom adds real thematic weight too. Excited to see this unfold, let me know if you ever need help with anything else!
