Fill in the protagonist, goal, and obstacle, then generate three logline variations built from proven structures.
A logline is a one- or two-sentence summary of your story: who the protagonist is, what they want, and what stands in their way. It's the first thing an agent, a producer, or an AI co-writer needs to understand your idea — and the sharpest tool for finding out if your concept actually has a spine.
What makes a logline work
Be specific, not vague
“A man tries to save his family” is generic. “A bankrupt accountant must launder money for the cartel that killed his partner, or lose his own family next” is specific — it names a role, a concrete goal, and a concrete threat.
Name the irony
The strongest loglines often contain a built-in contradiction — a peace-loving soldier, a claustrophobic astronaut. That tension is what makes a concept feel like a movie instead of a situation.
Skip the theme, keep the plot
A logline isn't the place to explain what your story is “about.” It's the place to explain what happens. Theme reveals itself once someone reads the script.
Cut adjectives, keep verbs
Loglines weaken under adjectives (“a brave, determined detective”) and strengthen under action (“a detective who frames her own partner”). Let what the character does show who they are.
