PROBLEM: In the Cambodian capital, Phnom Penh, during May 1973, the Cambodian national army is fighting a civil war with the Khmer Rouge, a result of the Vietnam War overspilling that countryâs borders. Dith Pran, a Cambodian journalist and interpreter for The New York Times, awaits the arrival of reporter Sydney Schanberg at the city's airport but leaves suddenly. Schanberg takes a cab to his hotel where he meets up with Al Rockoff (John Malkovich). Pran meets Schanberg later and tells him that an incident has occurred in a town, Neak Leung; allegedly, an American B-52 has bombed the town.Schanberg and Pran go to Neak Leung where they find that the town has been bombed. Schanberg and Pran are arrested when they try to photograph the execution of two Khmer Rouge operatives. They are eventually released and Schanberg is furious when the international press corps arrives with the U.S. Army.Two years later, in 1975, the Phnom Penh embassies are being evacuated in anticipation of the arrival of the Khmer Rouge. Schanberg secures evacuation for Pran, his wife and their four children. However, Pran insists that he would stay behind to help Schanberg.The Khmer Rouge move into the capital, ostensibly in peace. During a parade through the city, Schanberg meets Rockoff. They are later met by a detachment of the Khmer Rouge, who immediately arrest them. The group is taken through the city to a back alley where prisoners are being held and executed. Pran, unharmed because he is a Cambodian civilian, negotiates to spare the lives of his friends. They do not leave Phnom Penh, but instead retreat to the French embassy.Informed that the Khmer Rouge have ordered all Cambodian citizens in the embassy to be handed over and fearing the embassy will be overrun, the embassies comply. Knowing that Pran will be imprisoned or killed, Rockoff and fellow photographer Jon Swain (Julian Sands) of The Sunday Times try to forge a British passport for Pran; the deception fails when the image of Pran on the passport photo fades to nothing, as they lack adequate photographic developer. Pran is turned over to the Khmer Rouge and is forced to live under their totalitarian regime.Several months after returning to New York City, Schanberg is in the midst of a personal campaign to locate Pran. In Cambodia, Pran has become a forced labourer under the Khmer Rouge's "Year Zero" policy, a return to the agrarian ways of the past. Pran is also forced to attend propagandist classes where many undergo re-education. As intellectuals are made to disappear, Pran feigns simple-mindedness. Eventually, he tries to escape, but is recaptured. Before he is found by members of the Khmer Rouge, he slips into a muddy cesspool filled with rotting human corpses; in doing so, he stumbles upon the infamous killing fields of the Pol Pot regime, where as many as 2Â million Cambodian citizens were murdered.In 1976 Sydney Schanberg is awarded a Pulitzer prize for his coverage of the Cambodian conflict. At the acceptance dinner he tells the audience that half the recognition for the award belongs to Pran. Later in the restroom, he is confronted by Rockoff, who harshly accuses him of not doing enough to locate Pran and for using his friend to win the award. Schanberg defends his efforts, saying that he has contacted every humanitarian relief agency possible in the time since Pran's disappearance. Rockoff suggests that Schanberg subtly pressured Pran to remain in Cambodia because Pran was so vital to Schanberg's work. This accusation hits close to home, and Schanberg begins to wonder whether he put his own self-interest ahead of Pran's safety. He finally confesses that Pran "stayed because I wanted him to stay".Pran is assigned to the leader of a different prison compound, a man named Phat, and charged mostly with tending to his little boy. Pran continues his self-imposed discipline of behaving as an uneducated peasant, despite several of Phatâs attempts to trick him into revealing his knowledge of both French and English. Phat begins to trust Pran and asks him to take ward of his son in the event that he is killed. The Khmer Rouge are now engaged in a border war with Vietnam. The conflict reaches Pran's region and a battle ensues between the Khmer Rouge of the compound and two jets sent to destroy the camp. After the skirmish has ended, Pran discovers that Phat's son has American money and a map leading to safety. When Phat tries to stop the younger Khmer Rouge officers from killing several of his comrades, he is ignominiously shot.In the confusion, Pran escapes with four other prisoners and they begin a long trek through the jungle with Phatâs young son. The group later splits and three of them head in a different direction; Pran continues following the map with the fourth man. However, Pranâs companion activates a hidden land mine while holding the boy. As Pran pleads with the man to give him the boy, the mine goes off, killing the pair. Pran mourns for a time and continues on. One day he crests the escarpment of the DÃ¢ngrÃªk Mountains and sees a Red Cross camp near the border of Thailand.The scene shifts to Schanberg calling Pran's family with the news that Pran is alive and safe. Soon after, Schanberg travels to the Red Cross camp and is reunited with Pran. He asks Pran to forgive him; Pran answers, with a smile, "Nothing to forgive, Sydney", as the two embrace and John Lennon's song "Imagine" is heard in the background. The following credit scene gives short-sentenced conclusions on the characters' lives after the events of the movie.

SOLUTION: Who was assigned to Phat?

PROBLEM: This article needs an improved plot summary. (November 2015)Fourteen-year-old Jamie Grover (Kimberly J. Brown) is an only child who resents the constant attention her parents give her.

She also discovers she might not want the same things for herself that her parents want for her. Because of the demands of having five babies in the house, her parents focus all of their attention on the quints, Adam, Becky, Charlie, Debbie, and Eddie.Jamie's parents hire a babysitter named Fiona to help take care of the quints, although she later resigns due to exhaustion. To help cover costs, Jamie's parents agree to let their babies star in a diaper commercial. Albert, a representative for the diaper company, works with Jamie's parents to devise ways to keep the quints popular. Jamie reluctantly joins her school's art class, taught by Mr. Blackmer, and discovers that she enjoys it. When Adam becomes ill, Jamie discovers that she really does not mind the babies and that she does have the courage to let her parents know she has dreams of her own. Adam recovers, and Jamie's parents fire Albert after he suggests replacing Adam with a look-alike baby for an upcoming event. Jamie becomes upset when her parents forget about her art being displayed in the school's art show; they attend a dinner with the governor instead, but visit the school later after remembering the art show.Throughout the movie, Jamie attempts to fool the audience.

PROBLEM: This is a zany, screwball comedy of the 1950s where four ex-service men (Edmond O'Brien, Johnny Sands, Richard Erdman, and Steve Brodie) from WWII meet a small, young WAVE, Jean Madison (Wanda Hendrix) or the "Admiral," who is waiting for her fiancé to return from Paris. From the beginning when Jimmy Stevens (Edmond O'Brien) catches sight of the Admiral, he begins following her and introducing her to their unique twists of living without officially "working." He seems resolved to allow her to walk out of his life until threatened by Peter Pedigrew, the jukebox king, (Rudy Vallee) for him and his men to "go to work" unless they prevent her from leaving town. Pedigrew's reasoning is simply that his unscrupulous twice-divorced ex-wife whom he admires greatly, Shirley (Hillary Brooke), who promised to marry him again so he can expand his business, met Henry, the Admiral's fiancé, on the boat from Paris and is using any means to prevent Henry and the Admiral meeting, therefore, keeping Henry for herself. Other than endeavoring to influence Jimmy's crew back to work while still enjoying the experience of their unique lifestyle, things run smoothly until the Admiral sees Henry with Shirley and finds out that Jimmy and the others had been lying to her the entire time. However, they prove to her by a note written by Shirley that Henry is not completely at fault, and she decides to continue with them increasing the romantic tension growing between her and Jimmy. When they nearly catch Shirley, she escapes thwarting her ex-husband once again and delaying the reunion between the Admiral and Henry, and, from the Admiral's interference with Jimmy's crew, he insists she remain in Pedigrew's care. Nevertheless, she visits them again catching Eddie (Johnny Sands) alone and discovering the secret of his disillusioned love affair with the unseen, Lois. In order to mistakenly help Eddie, the Admiral encourages Mike (Steve Brodie) to go back to boxing until Jimmy charges in informing her that Mike could die because of a war wound. He then is forced to replace Mike in the ring and is knocked out. When the Admiral tries to explain she was helping Eddie, Jimmy then explains what his whole purpose for living such a strange life was. He was trying to teach Eddie that money isn't everything and he should patch up his relationship with Lois. Eddie overhears, thanks Jimmy, and leaves determined to find Lois and come to some sort of solution regarding their lives. Afterwards, Jimmy explodes at the Admiral for her interference and Mike explains about Jimmy's long guilt complex regarding the crash of their airplane during the war. Pedigrew enters enthusiastic about Shirley's decision to remarry him and Jimmy drags the Admiral to where predetermined house to meet Henry. Just as Henry is about to enter the scene, Jimmy discovers that the Admiral had changed her mind several reels before and no longer wanted the oh-so-perfect Henry but instead was in-love with him.

SOLUTION:
Who was the admiral in love with at the end?
