THE ELEMENTS: THE BIRTH OF NATURE'S SUPERHEROES
By Timika S. Chambers

GENRE: Action, Adventure
LOGLINE:

 

When a 66-million-year-old asteroid remnant begins to dismantle Earth, and avenging dark angels seek to eliminate good from humanity, outcast teenagers and the last Light Angel must find the Staff of Realms and harness their supernatural abilities to remove the meteorite and restore Earth and the balance between good and evil. 

SYNOPSIS:

Billions of years ago, harmony reigned among the angels on Planet Ur, the planet of time.

In Act 1, we see light angels in white cornered by dark angels in black at a mountain on Planet UR, the planet of time. Master Uzock, a polyglot and leader of the dark angel revolt, uses a Light Extractor, a weapon he created, to strip beings of their inner goodness. Before having all of his light extracted, the weakened Grand Master Shinzo imparts to Shoko, a young light angel, his earthly mission to prepare the chosen superheroes to save Earth and gives him the Staff of Realms. Before Master Uzock captures the rest of Master Shinzo’s light, Master Shinzo states the theme of the movie: light always dispels darkness. Shoko is unsuccessful in thwarting the asteroid unleashed by Master Uzock, and Earth experiences a mass explosion. Fast forward to May 20, 2028, in Tokyo, Japan. Earth is experiencing warmer temperatures and increasing frequencies and intensities of earthquakes globally. Over the next four weeks, Earth baptizes five teenagers with its Elements- twin brothers with fire and the others with water, electricity, and darkness.

In Act 2, the dark angels invade Earth. Master Uzock revisits the apartment building where he lost the love of his life, which is across the street from the school the superheroes attend. After meeting the superheroes, Master Uzock retreats to prolong human suffering. Then, Shoko appears and convinces the children to follow him. At his hideout, Shoko confirms Earth’s chosen heroes of their newfound abilities, explains their mission, and starts to train them. But, before Shoko can fully train the superheroes, Illusion, a female dark angel and master of confusion, enlisted by Darkness Supreme, kidnaps him. Afterward, the superheroes meet James, the rebel with the power of geokinesis.

In Act 3, the superheroes' false victory inhibits Master Uzock and the dark angels from using their wings, causing Master Uzock to force his daughter, Alexis, to transport them back to Planet UR. Master Uzock consumes the dark energy of Darkness Supreme, a conglomerate of anger, bitterness, and hatred in the formation of a black dragon. While trying to save Alexis, Brian is kidnapped, too. Alexis, Brian, and Shoko return to Earth in time to help the rest of the superheroes remove the asteroid. In the grand battle, Shoko faces his uncle, Master Uzock and becomes a Grand Master. With the help of the superheroes, Master Shoko returns everyone’s light and restores Earth.

If the elements are the superheroes, why are the children the superheroes? Are the children elements?

Timika S. Chambers

Thank you so much Rose for commenting. Yes...Earth baptizes the children in its Elements to save itself.

Rose Scott

I am purposefully not reading your synopsis as you logline should ideally stand on its own. Is Earth personified? Who is responsible for the mass destruction? What is the form of mass destruction? Nuclear war? Pollution? A rogue asteroid? The connection between the use of “elements” in the title and “children” is not clear to me. If the earth is damaged, nature will fix it over time. Children aren’t necessary. Making children responsible for saving the planet is a heavy ask. It could seem almost immoral, if not presented in the right way.

Sample Logline: In “Nature’s Superheroes: The Elements,” Earth awakens the latent powers of chosen children, transforming them into elemental superheroes. Tasked with averting a cosmic disaster poised to annihilate humanity, these newly empowered guardians must harness their extraordinary abilities to protect Earth and the universe from an ancient celestial threat.

Timika S. Chambers

Hi Rose! Thanks for the sample...definitely something to consider.
