Reverse plot game

Yeah yours is quite fun :smiley:

Batman Begins?

StusBlues got mine btw.

The Rock

Amityville Horror

That’s what I was thinking except…

Amityville Horror II: The Possesion (Isamu said “again”)

Don’t think anyone got this but it’s Grand Torino right?

Very good, StusBlues! (Was it too easy?)

Gran Torino

I swear the previous answer wasn’t there when I posted even though it was an hour earlier.

Space exploration corporation is tricked by a former employee into letting an unqualified astronaut onto an important mission despite stringent security measures. One of their own doctors allows it to happen despite knowing all along.

A terrrorist ax murderer and war criminal bent on the violent overthrow of the government engages in guerilla warfare and commits multiple atrocities, even enlisting the aid of his own children.

Aliens

The Patriot

Insurgent forces are successfully driven back, and a key leader of the insurgents is captured after a successful intelligence operation. However, a turncoat member of a noble family escapes, but he is seriously wounded.

The Empire Strikes Back

A sailor attempts to win heart of his beloved. Just when she is at the verge of devoting herself to him, a rival mariner with the biggest forearms you’ve ever seen eats a salad, clobbers our hero, and makes off with the lady, who obviously suffers from Stockholm Syndrome.

Gattaca

Rabid white supremacists of the Reconstruction era form a terrorist organization to intimidate newly enfranchised blacks, engage in voter supression, and perform acts of outright murder.

I was thinking of

but I admit that

fits quite well.

This appears to be Popeye, but I haven’t actually seen any media beyond a few shorts as a kid.

Not that I’ve seen it, but I can’t imagine any movie fitting this thread with that description other than The Birth of a Nation

Amityville Horror II: The Possesion (Isamu said “again”)

Well, the again part is actually part of the first movie, so Hoopy nailed it.

The irresponsible son of an important leader runs away following the leader’s death, forcing the leader’s brother to take over the family business. Years later, an childhood friend of the son abandons her responsibilities. During her flight from home she happens upon her old friend and helps to convince him to return with her and usurp his uncle’s position.

The Lion King

Government employee is arrested for treason but escapes, contacts a crime boss, and proceeds to steal valuable secrets from a highly fortified government facility with the help of crooks.
