Three outcast friends lead their town’s residents on a perilous journey to save them from terrorists who scheme to enslave their women for the sex trade

Hi Guys,
First of all, thank you for your comments. Valid points.

How about one of these, though?

1- Three outcast childhood friends lead the residents of their small town on a perilous journey to save them from attacking terrorists who believe they are infidels, want to kill the men, and use their women as sex slaves.

OR

2- Three outcast friends lead their town's residents on a perilous journey to save them from terrorists who scheme to enslave their women for the sex trade

Hi Ben,

This reminds me of RED DAWN. I think you just need to lean it out a bit and get it down to 25 words. Something like...

When terrorists attack a small town, three childhood friends must help a group of fellow-citizens to escape by escorting them to a nearby mountain before they are killed.

Regardless - I think yours is a good working logline before you start the first draft.

I like the idea of 3 childhood friends who were "bad boys" who are now challenged w/ doing the right thing. Can you add some detail about their reputation. And why do the terrorist attack a small town? What's their goal?
