Write A Plot From The Title (Writing Game)

Go To

If you're familiar with Contextualize/Whamise This Line, then you may know how this will work. However, instead of a line, you must write a plot/synopsis based off a title from a work in a "Poster above you" format. For example...

Troper A: Soul Surfer

Troper B: Soul Surfer is a cyberpunk action film about a man who has the unique ability to go into the bodies of other people, and must do this to clear his name for a crime he hasn't committed.

Something like that. I'm just hoping I'm being concise enough. Alright, let's begin.

Vladimir Dementyev remember's his visit to Ukraine in 1983, while working for the Soviet government, and how he visited the site where the Chernobyl disaster would later occur, along with the town of Pripyat. He then compares the eerie parallels between the events in his own life and the events that would later occur in Ukraine.

An aesthetically surreal political drama and some might say pseudo-comedy about a clean-up team cleaning up the site of a nuclear bomb attack in the aftermath of a rather short and not at all as violent as everyone expected World War Three. The titular soap derives from a joke a few of the contractors serving as main characters make when they attempt to resort to using soap to get rid of radioactive grime.

No frills, no modernization, few cutscenes, and no bullshit in this straight-ahead action fest top down shooter styled after Rambo if it was played from a 3D bird's eye view. Aliens are invading Earth, your character seems to be made of crewcuts, machine guns, and steroid abuse, and those flying saucers aren't going to detonate themselves.

Cutesy cartoon on how atoms learn that bashing them into one another caused nuclear explosions, so go on strike until the governments of the world promise to stop using their power for bad.

Despite sweeping the board at the Razzies, even for catagories which didn't apply to it Atoms for Peace tends to be shownon TV at every Bank Holiday in the US and UK, as it is cheap filler.

The Fantasy RPG to end all RPGs. Taking the adventure aspect of Skyward Sword and the massive land of Skyrim, Skyfall is about a generic western fantasy adventurer, on a quest to save the princess and defeat some tryant king... Only to waltz into a JRPG plot involving collecting the 7 jewels of the family to save the world from an omnicidal god.

Then everything goes to hell.

The actual threat however now has a chink in its armour - titular spy Perry now finds that he's become a pseudo-father figure to the estranged child of an extremist leader and now he's seeing just how far he's willing to go to fight the enemy and protect his new "family".

A tense, claustrophobic drama , which, after setting up the characters follows 70 minutes of a U-boat attack in real time, on a heavily escorted convoy in the closing stages of WW 2. The first 20 minutes establish the characters as good family men/sons etc, with little hint as to period, then a flip in perspective for the final hour or so in which we see them try to sink troopships full of faceless GI's.

Before the Earth's destruction, exactly one thousand, nine hundred and eighty four humans (or "nineteen hundred and eighty four") are frozen and shot out into space on board a cargo ship to find a new planet. Due to the onboard computer malfunctioning or misinterpreting the orders it was given, the humans are awoken from suspended animation far sooner than was intended, and cannot return to hibernation. The ship was not designed to hold an active community of almost two thousand people and the competition for space and resources soon becomes intense, eventually violent. The work is presented in a TV serial format, mostly a drama, with some sitcom elements for lighter and funnier episodes—expect Mood Whiplash.
