MIDNIGHT CITY

MIDNIGHT CITY
By Brian Thomas

GENRE: Action, Comedy
LOGLINE:

A Superhero spoof centered on a brooding crime-fighting vigilante and his long lost sister in a crime-ridden and overdramatic city.

SYNOPSIS:

In a dangerous city, a woman walks alone at night, when a mugger attacks her. A masked vigilante drop down, scaring the mugger and saves the damsel. She falls in love him and they kiss, then he vanishes.

Later that night, the vigilante sleeps restlessly, having dreams of his tragic backstory of his parents being murdered. He remembers their dying wish to find his long-lost sister.

Holly works a typical day in the Rolling Stones bakery, trying to earn enough to go to college. A regular walks in, order food, and tries to give her extra money, but she refuses. When he leaves, he is mugged and killed.

The vigilante goes to Holly’s house and informs her mom, Ms. Evans, that she is adopted, and that she is his sister. Ms. Evans is stunned. He gives her money for Holly to go to school, and to keep her away from him. The Vigilante goes to leave, when Ms. Evans falls in love with him.

Holly closes the store when her boss, the elderly Ms. Sweetums, hands Holly her paycheck. She exits, when an assassin barges in and attempts to threaten her, but her elderly habits annoy him. She exits out the back, revealing that she is actually Ebony Pierce, a mysterious ally of the vigilante.

Ms. Evans tells Holly she is adopted. Holly decides to venture into the city to find her brother.

Holly drives through the city at night when a man appears in the street, causing her to swerve and hit a lamppost. She steps out of the car to see if he is okay when she is attacked by two muggers.

Meanwhile, Peter, a young cop, forces a criminal into a police car when he hears Holly screaming. He runs in the direction of the sound, forgetting about the criminal, who escapes.

Peter threatens the thugs to let her go, but he forgets to say Simon Says, and the muggers flee. Peter offers Holly help in finding her brother.

He runs the money the vigilante gave to Holly in a scanner (clearly just a printer) and somehow manages to find out who he is and where he lives.

Holly and Peter accidentally break into the Vigilante’s apartment where the assassin is waiting. He takes Holly and jumps out the window.
