The plot game!

ToasT · 02-08-2002, 09:18 AM

All you have to do is guess the movie from the plot described from the previous post.

When you do that, you can post the plot.

Let's get this started:

An orphan found on the side of the road of some tinyville becomes a man of two identities. One as a man of the paper and the other as a man of justice.

What is it?

cafeman · 02-08-2002, 09:27 AM

Superman

TyRoss · 02-08-2002, 09:31 AM

dang I woulda said that too

ToasT · 02-09-2002, 11:09 AM

During the Japanese occupation of China at the time of the second World War, a young boy is accidentally seperated from his parents and must survive on his own.

Add one of yours when you are positive your answer is right.

kryptonian_boy · 02-09-2002, 11:27 AM

Is it Empire of the Sun?

ToasT · 02-09-2002, 12:02 PM

Yes, it is Krypto. You could have posted one.

Here's another anyway:

After meeting a call girl at a Kung-Fu film, Clarence is thrown into the drug underworld after accidentally obtaining a suitcase full of cocaine from her pimp.

True Romance

How come no one read the directions? POST ONE AFTER YOU GET IT RIGHT! ...

Here's a hard one for you:

3 adventure-treasure seekers trek into the mountains in search of pure gold, spending the months paranoid, believing each is against the other. Here's a hint: only 2 make it out alive.

ToasT · 02-11-2002, 04:01 PM

Man, I have no clue. What is it?

Cew Partner · 02-12-2002, 08:50 AM

Alright, here's a new one since nobody got the other one....

The movie is a true story of a man who fights for a living and is wrongfully accused of a crime and is thrown in jail for about 15 years. He is finally given justice with the help of a few loyal friends, and he becomes a legend.

kryptonian_boy · 02-12-2002, 10:47 AM

The Hurricane.
(The reason I didn't post one when I guessed earlier is because I wasn't sure I had the answer right.)

OK, here goes: A teenage gang leader in a near future gets into fights, steals, rapes, and in his spare time, listens to Beethoven. He ends up in prison, but gets released through a special program that's supposed to rehabilitate him through conditioned response. He has to cope with society in a different way, and stay away from enemies he had made before prison.

Son to a murdered father, nephew to a murderous uncle, and a friend to two strange characters who go by the mindset: "Home is where your rump rests."

Guess.

One man stands alone against eleven to save one. By the end of a long hot day, the tables have turned due in part to the sound of a passing train and the relationship between a father and son.

ToasT · 02-15-2002, 09:01 AM

I have no clue... give us a hint.

TxFilmMkr · 02-15-2002, 11:12 AM

It's an old movie, that was remade in the 90's.

The original was beat out for Best Picture by Bridge on the River Kwai.

kryptonian_boy · 02-15-2002, 11:38 AM

Is it Twelve Angry Men?

TxFilmMkr · 02-15-2002, 02:13 PM

Yep!

Cew Partner · 02-15-2002, 06:32 PM

Now that you got it right, you have to post one urself...

Moe Szyslak · 02-15-2002, 06:37 PM

<blockquote>quote:<hr />Originally posted by kryptonian_boy:

ToasT · 03-01-2002, 09:16 AM

Three men escape from a chain gang to seek a fortune that does not exist. They stumble over many adventures and obstacles, yet in the end, they becomes successful without obtaining their original treasure.
