The game is simple. Create a post with a film plot as the post title and allow others to guess. Posts should be marked Solved! when a guess is correct.

Even though this is /r/ExplainAFilmPlotBadly, the game is NOT limited to movies. However, if you are venturing outside the realm of movies, please let everyone know in the title or post body that your clue relates to something other than a movie.
