GENRE: Thriller / Suspense, Action
LOGLINE:

CINEVERSE Jerusalem International Screenplay Awards Finalist- 2026! In a dystopian US, WW3 has ravaged the country. People of Jewish descent are forced into settlement camps and controlled by a radical, antisemitic law, Code 767. A former soldier must wage war against antisemitism and the Fourth Reich. A mysterious cypher machine may hold the key to uniting the nation and destroying the Nazi regime forever.

SYNOPSIS:

Two young lovers escape the protected zone in Tahoe, California but are apprehended. Their unborn child is aborted because the child is Jewish and the couple has violated an antisemitic law, Code 767. Kate Moore, the sister of one of the lovers, is infuriated by the injustice. Kate begins to protest. Kate’s determination catches the attention of a former Mossad agent who is undercover in the US, Ibrahim Bendavid, who falls in love with Kate.

The President sends a federal team, led by a Nazi, Thaddeus Bush, to California. Kate’s uncle, Dathan Moore and aunt, Antastasia Mengele Moore, arrive before the federal team. However, unbeknownst to Kate, they are part of the Fourth Reich and have ulterior motives. Kate’s mother, Evelyn Moore, steps aside as Superior Director and Antastasia takes over. Antastasia uses her new powers to implement martial law, call up Elite Nazi National Guard Troops and to gain access to the Library of Congress, which is now in Tahoe.

Kate learns about the Library of Congress and hopes to find answers about the death of her father. She asks Dathan, but he refuses and wants her to stop the protests. Kate breaks into the Library of Congress where she finds a secret vault containing top secret files and a mysterious, cylinder-shaped cypher device. Kate steals the files and the device. During a night of chaos and violence, Kate escapes the protected zone, aided by Ibrahim, and unites with the United Defense Force (UDF). At the UDF base Kate discovers the cylindrical device is a computerized nuclear football and that Dathan murdered her father. Knowing the only way to defeat the Fourth Reich is to unite the UDF and the Congress, Kate, Ibrahim and a team of UDF soldiers sneak into the house of Congress.

There are gun battles as they try to reach the Congress floor. They are captured and led to the President who informs them he has made a deal with the Fourth Reich. UDF forces rescue Kate and her team. Dathan escapes with the nuclear football. Antastasia is injured, but Kate decides not to kill her. Ibrahim pursues Dathan and kills him during a brutal battle. Ibrahim retrieves the nuclear football and meets Kate, the Vice President and members of her Team at the Congress podium where she offers a truce between the new Congress and the United Defense Force to unite the country.

One year later Kate is President, pregnant and married to Ibrahim. She has passed a law dismantling Code 767. Kate receives a video call from Thaddeus in which he threatens to kill her unborn child and everyone she loves. Kate threatens Thaddeus and fires a gun at the computer screen, blowing it to pieces.
