AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jon Stout Hi Jon, I believe you inadvertantly left an "is" in the first sentence of your logline.
Agreed with Sam Iwata Aka Liu. These THREE SENTENCES (3 lines) may very well paint a good picture of your script, but a logline is singular and as concise as possible.
What happens when a zombie outbreak occurs while you're on a five hour flight from Honolulu to LAX? As the fellow passengers and crew turn ravenous, a dwindling group of scrappy passengers battle for their lives and make tough decisions in an attempt to survive until the plane lands.

Hey Jon, have you completed this screenplay? Screenwriter here --- and would love to collaborate on this fascinating story with you. Feel free to message
Jon Stout, this is a fun, high-concept survival thriller with a great built-in ticking clock. Your logline does a solid job setting up the situation and tone, though it could be tightened slightly for impact. For example, consider trimming “what happens when…” and jumping straight into the setup: “A zombie outbreak erupts on a five-hour flight from Honolulu to LAX…” That approach sharpens the hook and gets us right into the action. Overall, this sounds like a wild ride.
