'Man-on-the-run'

We were given the task of creating a plot called the 'man-on-the-run'. We had to base our movie on a spoof, and so to help us, we watched the openings of a few movies such as 'The fugitive' and 'The Bourne Trilogy'.




The plot that our group came up with is as follows:

• The scene starts off with a bus riding on a long, narrow, deserted road. The setting of the movie will be quite dark to create an eerie atmosphere. The audience are made to think that something ominous is about to take place.
• The bus is holding prisoners that are being transported to another prison.
• All of a sudden a small pair of lights appear in the distance heading in the direction of the bus.
• The bus crashes into the car. The bus driver is not able to control the bus and so it skids and rolls off a hill. 
• The car has crashed and hits a big rock. Many of the prisoners on the bus are dead. 
• At this point the audience meet the main character. He is one of the prisoners. 
• The prisoner manages to escape out of the bus through a hole. 
• He makes a runner and travels to the nearest town.
• In this next scene, he is on the phone to his friend. The audience discover that the prisoner has been wrongly convicted of doing a crime. 
• In the scene, we meet a man hiding amongst the crowds, eying the prisoner. He has a gun. 
• The man shoots, however misses as the prisoner realises his shoe lace is undone and bends down to re-tie it.
• The prisoner ends his phone conversation and walks away, not noticing that he is being aimed at. 
• The man shoots again, failing to hit yet again. The prisoner realises he has been shot at and runs for his life. The chase is through a market place. They destroy everything while running, tripping over things too. This adds a bit of comedy.
• The prisoner turns the corner, walking into a sweet shop crowded with demanding customers. The shooter looses track of him.
