FINDING ATLANTIS
By Kathy Panzella

GENRE: Action, Adventure
LOGLINE:

A discredited archeologist and a skeptical reporter race an evil general to find a legendary city and save Earth from a deadly comet. 

SYNOPSIS:

Archaeologist Susan finds a gold bowl and is convinced it is an ancient artifact from Atlantis. Reporter Mac hears of mysterious deaths from a secret military base in Alaska. Mac’s editor doesn`t believe him and assigns him to a climate conference where he meets Susan. Susan shows slides to prove a comet hit earth thousands of years ago. Astronomers predict the imminent arrival of a threatening comet. Susan convinces the President that she can find the key to human survival in the Yucatan, then persuades Mac to help her.

The next two acts follow Susan and Mac as they search for Atlantis in the Yucatan. General Ruckus tells the President the Alaskan antennas will find more oil, while hiding his use of them as lethal weapons. Ruckus sends men to stop Susan and Mac, who stay busy combatting snakes and grave robbers, while enduring dangerous river rapids and high waterfalls. Ruckus and his girlfriend target Beijing on the high tide, solar eclipse, full moon day of the comet’s arrival. Mac knocks out Ruckus, blows up the antennas, crashes a bulldozer, and is left for dead. Susan survives a deadly hot crystal cave, but eventually finds an artifact. Nuclear weapons soar into space and explode the comet. Ruckus is jailed. Susan is awarded the Nobel Peace prize. Mac posthumously gets the Pulitzer Prize. In the end, Mac realizes that he has had amnesia after hitting his head on the dozer windshield. Susan places the artifacts in the Metropolitan Museum. Mac finds Susan. He kisses her and tells her, "You’re my biggest story". A happy ending keeps them together, ready for another adventure.
