When a volcanic eruption grounds all flights, a desperate racing driver must evade highway patrolmen to transport his dying fianc? heart transplant.

Are you going to put someone in the car with him to create further tension - like his fiance's father, or her snotty little brother, or his ex-girlfriend...? It would be even worse if he wasn't a good driver...or he just flew in from Europe (before the planes were grounded) and was really jet lagged and used to driving on the opposite side of the road...

Okay, fine - so call him a professional racer.

"When all flights are grounded by a volcanic eruption, a professional racer must evades a vindictive highway patrol officer to transport his dying fiance's replacement heart to her surgeon half a state away."

I really feel like including an idea of distance - to make us feel like it's even more difficult, almost impossible - gives it a little bit of a bump. But other than that, like I said, if someone told me about this movie, I'd want to see it. For sure. Great timeclock, stakes are primal, and I can see in my mind's eye at least ONE of the chases as they race through a town as the volcano blows its top. You can even picture the poster ...

The protagonist is racing in legal race not in street race. I have deliberately chosen not to name the competition he is in. One big rule of scriptwriting and logline is that unless you have a written authorisation confirmed by a lawyer DO NOT USE BRAND. Any unauthorised or illegal usage or reference to a brand will result in a visit or letter by a copyright or Intellectual Property lawyer. It is also the sure way to scare away all the indie and medium size production companies.
The latest version of the logline should read as follows:
When all the flights are grounded by a volcanic eruption, a desperate racing driving must evade a vindictive highway patrol officer to transport his dying fianc?'s heart transplant to her surgeon.
As mentioned in earlier posts, the volcano is Mount Saint Helens. The destination city is likely yo be Seattle.
Maximum recommended time between harvesting a heart and implanting is currently 4~6 hours. The chase in the movies is supposed to take 4 hours.
