PROBLEM: Fact1: film is set in Liverpool in mid-1950s, Fact2: story concerns Bud and loving mother and siblings, Fact3: Bud lives life rich in imagination centred on family relationships church and struggles of shy boy at school, Fact4: Music and snatches of movie dialogue allow him to enrich narrow physical environment, Fact5: postwar England starved for beauty fantasy and place to escape

SOLUTION: The film is set in Liverpool in mid1950s. The story concerns 11yearold Bud and his loving mother and siblings. He lives a life rich in imagination, centred on family relationships, church, and the struggles of a shy boy at school. Music and snatches of movie dialogue allow him to enrich his narrow physical environment. Together these fragments, wrote Stephen Holden in the New York Times, evoke a postwar England starved for beauty, fantasy and a place to escape.

PROBLEM: Fact1: Navy fleet and sailors are coming to visit hopeful women, Fact2: Danny 's best friend and sailor colleague has grown tired of marriage, Fact3: Scrappy decides to save Danny from going through same thing, Fact4: Danny manage to escape jail on next boat to shore, Fact5: Rodney does n't give up on Sally and visits to play with Skipper

SOLUTION: The citys beauty parlors are flooded with hopeful women as the Navy fleet and its sailors are coming to visit. Sally Gilroy is one of these expectant girls. Sally is quite nervous about the visit since her fiance Danny is among the arriving sailors, and she is supposed to marry him in the next few days. Her best friends Myrtle and Georgine try to calm her down and tell her there is nothing to worry about. But it turns out there is. Dannys best friend and sailor colleague Scrappy Wilson has grown tired of marriage. Right before their ship, the USS Dakota, enters the docks his pay is withheld after a court order ruling, because he owes his wife alimony. Scrappy decides to save Danny from going through the same thing and stop him from marrying. Scrappy involves another sailor, Goofer, in his plan. They plant a gun part in Dannys sailor duffel bag before he disembarks the ship, and Danny is arrested when he is caught stealing Navy equipment by Chief Mulcahy. Scrappy himself goes ashore and meets Sally, telling her that Danny is going to spend the entire monthlong visit in the ships jail. Another sailor named Rodney tries to make Sally jilt Danny and go with him instead. Sally rejects him and desperately decides she has to bring Danny ashore at some point during the visit. Danny manage to escape jail and get on the next boat to the shore, and he and Sally go to their brand new house. When they arrive their, Sally reveals a big surprise  she has a baby to take care of. She has adopted it after a friend and her husband was killed in a car accident. Sally has named the baby Margaret Lane Skipper. Danny is not overly happy with this new family development. Danny is discovered by a shore patrol, who arrest him again for going AWOL using another sailors identity. Sally tries to help out by telling the ship commander, Captain Roscoe, that Danny only went ashore to visit his sick baby, and that they are already husband and wife. Roscoe swallows her explanation and not only drops the charges against Danny, but promotes him to help him take care of his new family. Rodney doesnt give up on Sally, and visits to play with Skipper. When Danny arrives to his home on a legitimate pass, he gets into an argument with homewrecker Rodney. The couple is under supervision by Miss Purvis, who acts with the mandate of the juvenile court, and a fight wouldnt improve their status as adoption parents. They decide to throw a party to get on Miss Purvis good side, but the party derails when Scrappys friend Barnacle arrives and picks a fight with Danny. Miss Purvis is very upset by the mens behavior, and the party ends with Sally breaking up with Danny. Rodney takes the opportunity to propose to Sally, trying to convince her that she needs a husband to keep Skipper. Sally reluctantly accepts his proposal, but Danny soon returns and he and Sally make up again. Sally breaks off the new engagement to Rodney, but when Danny finds out about the deceit, and a fight ensues, destroying the entire house interior. Miss Purvis sees the devastation and gets the two men arrested by another shore patrol. Desperate not to lose Skipper, Sally sneaks aboard the Dakota and leaves the baby on board in Chied Mulcahys room before returning ashore. The fleet sets sail to participate in the naval war games. When Sally cannot return Skipper to the authorities she is faced with juvenile court. Skipper is discovered on board, and Danny decides to tell the whole story to Captain Roscoe. When the ship starts firing its cannons, the baby starts screaming and the ship doctor tells Roscoe to stop firing or the baby will suffer permanent damages. Roscoe is reluctant to do so, afraid his good reputation will be destroyed and he will lose his chance of becoming an Admiral of the fleet. It turns out that all that was wrong with Skipper was a loose safety pin, and that Roscoes superiors praise him for his timely cease fire. Danny eventually comes back ashore and is married to his Sally at the Church of Good Shepherd.

PROBLEM: Fact1: Moore is engineer developing targeting system on tank for United States Army, Fact2: XM-10 Annihilator is equipped with Cooper 's system, Fact3: Cooper and Landry never interact during film, Fact4: decisions made by Cooper affect Landry 's tank, Fact5: cut scene was edited out from final film

SOLUTION:
The movie takes place as two parallel plots separated by a couple of years: In 1982, Wylie Cooper Moore is an engineer developing a targeting system on a tank for the United States Army. In 1984, Murphy is US Army Lt. T.M. Landry, an American tank commander sent to Kuwait to demonstrate XM10 Annihilator, Americas latest main battle tank, which is equipped with Coopers system. Because of the tanks poor design and shoddy construction, Landry and his crew are barely able to control or navigate the XM10 before it leaves the proving grounds and wanders into a combat zone during Iraqs invasion of Kuwait an unintentional foreshadowing of the Gulf War that occurred six years after the release of the film. Cooper and Landry never directly interact during the film, but the plot shows how the decisions made by Cooper affect Landrys tank. A cut scene showed both Dudley Moore and Eddie Murphy together, but was edited out from the final film. Cooper, an engineer for a troubled defense contractor, is in charge of designing the DYPgyro, a gyroscope for the armys new tank. The companys future hinges on the success of the project. Coopers gyro fails a crucial test, dooming the company. Downtrodden, Cooper later crosses paths with another engineer named Frank Holtzman Noonan who has also designed a DYPgyro. Holtzman, fearful of what will happen in his meeting with Jeff, secretly hides the plans in Coopers briefcase. After Holtzman is murdered, Cooper discovers the plans. Coopers coworker and best friend Steve Loparino Dzundza later puts Coopers name on the plans, and when the new gyro works, Cooper is hailed for saving the company. In 1984, Landrys tank comes under fire from Iraqi jets, leading Landry to plead that he doesnt belong in this war, shouting Im from Cleveland! at the attacking planes. Back in 1982, Cooper is contacted by Jeff Rasche, a deepcover KGB agent who tries to obtain the DYP plans. The FBI, knowing that Cooper took credit for somebody elses work, forces him to act as bait for Jeff in a setup operation. The setup nearly fails  Jeff is killed during a gun battle, and Cooper himself is shot. Realizing his mortality while being put on an ambulance, Cooper confesses to Clair Shaver, an attractive coworker, that he stole the DYP. This triggers an angry response from Clair and also from his wife Laura Capshaw who, arriving on the scene, realizes that Cooper has been cheating on her. Surviving the bullet, Cooper receives even worse news from a coworker: the DYPgyro he claimed credit for wont work, because it will cause overheating in the WAM, another critical component, crippling the tanks fire control and, in a combat situation, dooming the tank. The film reaches its climax in a sequence weaving between 1982 when a more conscientious Cooper, having recovered, confronts his employers about the flaws in the DYP, while in 1984, Landry attempts to fire the main gun while under attack by an Iraqi gunship. As had been predicted, the DYP causes failure in the WAM, suggesting that Wylies protest was ignored. Instead, the camera cuts to the innards and shows that the DYP has been redesigned according to an idea that Cooper had in 1982 while fixing one of his sons toys. The redesign works, enabling the tanks air defense rockets to launch and destroy the Iraqi gunship. The film ends with Cooper and Landry as heroes in their respective jobs.
