SYNOPSIS:
Synopsis – Codename: Aklerom In the deepest layers of a hidden global facility, a man lies sedated, monitored, and forgotten. His name is classified. His origin—unknown to the world. To his captors, he is simply Subject 001. To the universe, he is Aklerom. Aklerom is no ordinary man. Born from the Source as a winged Pleiadian being, he has lived countless lives—among them, a Lemurian warrior, an Egyptian king, and a noble protector in 1800s Europe. Yet in his current human form, he remembers none of this. Until now. A secretive system that rules Earth from the shadows has learned to trace souls, not just people. Using a frequency dome created by reptilian forces, they’ve intercepted powerful beings sent to help humanity—and neutralized them before they could awaken. Aklerom was among those targeted. But unlike others, his presence could not be erased. Attempts to harm him failed. His energy field activated divine intervention. So they took a different approach: let him live a broken life under illusion, weighed down by debt, failure, and emotional fog. As long as he doesn’t remember… the world stays asleep. But the soul cannot be caged forever. Through dreams, energy pulses, and mysterious guidance, Aklerom begins to awaken. Protected by higher-dimensional beings, guided by memories, and drawn toward a destiny greater than any government could imagine, he becomes the crack in the grid. And when he fully remembers who he is… The system falls. Religion falls. Control ends. Codename: Aklerom is a visionary sci-fi epic that fuses ancient spirituality, galactic history, and modern conspiracy into a single awakening. It is not just a story—it’s a message for those who have always felt they were meant for more.

Codename: Aklerom sounds interesting, @Eusebio, but your logline is really long.
Here’s a logline template that might help: After/when ______ (the inciting incident/event that sets the plot in motion), a _______ (the main flaw the protagonist has to overcome in the script or an adjective that describes the protagonist’s personality) _______ (the protagonist’s title/job/career) tries to/attempts to/fights to/struggles to/strives to/sets out to/fights/battles/engages in/competes/etc. _______ (goal of story and try to add the obstacles here) to/so/in order to ________ (stakes).
The inciting incident can also be at the end of the logline: A _______ (the main flaw the protagonist has to overcome in the script or an adjective that describes the protagonist’s personality) _______ (the protagonist’s title/job/career) tries to/attempts to/fights to/struggles to/strives to/sets out to/fights/battles/engages in/competes/etc. _______ (goal of story and try to add the obstacles here) to/so/in order to ________ (stakes) after/when ______ (the inciting incident/event that sets the plot in motion).
Loglines are one or two sentences. A one-sentence logline sounds better, and it takes less time for a producer, director, etc. to read it. Try to keep your logline to 35 words or less. Long loglines can make producers, directors, etc. pass on a project.
Avoid using “must” in loglines. “Must” usually means the protagonist is forced to do whatever they need to do in the story instead of doing it willingly. You might need to use “must” in a logline though, like when the protagonist is forced by another character to do something. Using “must” to choose between two options is fine.
Names in loglines are usually for biopics, well-known stories, and franchises (like Mission: Impossible).
Sometimes I put the location and date that the story takes place in instead of the inciting incident if it’s a Period Piece script.
All stories don’t follow this logline template. Biopics, documentaries, and Experimental scripts might not follow the template. The series logline for a TV show can follow this template, but the pilot logline and episode loglines for the show might not.
