After the earth is attacked by Aliens, Gabriel must lead a small group of commando angels into their deadly spacecraft and destroy it before the human race is obliterated.
This is kind of off topic, but dpg's comment made me think of this. I've been doing some research on alien abductions for a screenplay idea recently. I've come to learn that before alien abductions, people described very similar situations…

Sorry, not the original, but the one before this one.

I really liked your original log line for The Arena.

A rigid and rational psychiatrist finds herself questioning her beliefs when a potentially dangerous man is brought into a mental institution claiming he was abducted by extraterrestrials. Under the guidance of her unconventional supervisor, the young, inexperienced psychiatrist must decide if the patient will be involuntarily hospitalized or if he is telling the truth.
He was only violent because he was left out in the middle of nowhere, with no clothes, after he was abducted and was forced to break into a house and defend himself from the scared homeowners who thought he was…

I've rewritten the log line based on both of your notes. What do you think of this version? Arrested for breaking into a house naked and assaulting the occupants, a mental patient has 72 hours to convince two psychiatrists that…

So... we agree? Someone can be rational and skeptical about aliens coming to Earth and abducting humans. As far as why aliens would want to abduct humans, there are thousands of theories, which is what I would like to explore…

Her objective goal, basically, is deciding what to do with the patient. But that doesn't necessarily involve her wavering for 90 minutes. Under the guidance of the attending doctor, the evaluation includes hypnosis sessions, looking into similar abduction cases, visiting…

I don't understand why you don't think this is a log line. Can you please clarify. It includes the hero's function: a psychiatrist. The hero's weakness: young, inexperienced and rigid. The inciting incident: a dangerous patient brought into the hospital.…

When looking for something to do on a dull Friday night, 5 friends find a radioactive rock in the woods, which could grant them anything for a limited amount of time. Now, they must protect the rock and themselves from the government.
I also like this idea and agree with what Screenwriters Anonymous said above, but do you have to include the part about Friday night? Can't you just ditch that and begin the log line with "Five friends... "? That way…
