Q: Build a movie plot around this: What was the former occupation? Chairman
A: It's ellection time, and mayor George Sitkowski (Bruce Dern) is standing for re-ellection. It's difficult, because his main opponent is young and popular. He decides to go for a stunt, hiring a she-elephant for his first political meeting. Many people go to the meeting to see it, but she dies, and Sitkowski needs to get rid of it secretly. However, a journalist (Edward Cunnigham)decides to broadcast the news live, so that the stunt becomes bad publicity for Sitkowski, while his men are trying to get rid of the dead animal throwing the corpse into the abandoned mines.Tom Daley (Martin Sheen) arrives. He meets Sitkowski, his brother James, who is the campaign director (Stacy Keach), wealthy enterpreneur Phil Romano (Paul Sorvino) and retired coachman Delaney (Robert Mitchum). They won the 1954 Pennsylvania Estate basketball championship back at high school. They meet to celebrate it, but there is one more player missing. This one never appears, and later the audience will learn that he had played it so tough that he ended sending to hospital one member of the runner-up team, pressured by Delaney's instruction.Romano doubts if Sitkowski can really make it to the city council this time, because of his policy of keeping the old buildings, like the old high school and the never-used-anymore train station. He'd like to open a shopping mall instead of making a museum. They drink and remember their happy times when they were young. At one moment, James tells everybody that Mariam, Sitkowski's wife, has been going to bed with Romano, and that everybody knows. Sitkowski has doubts whether he can keep on accepting Romano's money for his campaing -he's his main contributor-. The coachman wants them all to pull together and fight re-election, but it seems impossible.Romano phones Shermen, the younger and more handsome politician who is running for mayor, offering to finance his campaign as well. He is dismissed jockingly, and his attempt to blackmail Shermen because of a communist cousin of his ends in complete failure....

Q: Build a movie plot around this: Who is having a secret love affair with Queen Helen Paris (orlando Bloom)
A: The story takes place in the fertile, eastern lands bordered by the Mediterranean Sea and kept by the gods. Within the cradle of ancient civilization empires are built, wars fought, alliances forged, and heroes born.Agamemnon (Brian Cox), king of Mycenae, has united most of Greece's kingdoms under his rule and now advances his army upon the nation of Thessaly, hoping to include it in his collection of ever-growing conquests. King Triopas (Julian Glover) bargains with Agamemnon to each let one of their best fighters decide who wins the battle rather than engaging in open war.

Q: Build a movie plot around this: Who never intended to transfer Santiago off the base? Jessup
A:
Late one evening, at the U.S. Naval Base in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, two Marines, Private First Class Louden Downey (James Marshall) and Lance Corporal Harold Dawson (Wolfgang Bodison) are arrested for assaulting and killing a fellow Marine of their unit, PFC William Santiago (Michael DeLorenzo).At first it is assumed that they attacked Santiago because he reported Dawson to the Naval Investigative Service (NIS) for illegally firing his gun at a guard on the Cuban side of the island. However, Naval investigator and lawyer Lieutenant Commander Joanne Galloway (Demi Moore) suspects that Dawson and Downey, who were otherwise exemplary marines, were carrying out a "Code Red", an unofficial act of discipline in which soldiers are submitted to methods akin to bullying in order to get them to improve their performance, toe the line or follow procedure. Santiago compared unfavorably to his fellow Marines, being clumsy and lagging behind on exercises and was socially ostracized. He denounced Dawson in an attempt to be transferred away from Guantanamo.Dawson and Downey are taken to a military prison in Washington D.C. to await trial. Galloway requests to defend them but the case is given to Lieutenant Junior Grade Daniel Kaffee (Tom Cruise), an inexperienced U.S. Navy Judge Advocate General's Corps lawyer. Kaffee has a reputation for arranging plea bargains and has never even argued a case in a court room, which gives him time to devote himself to his passion for softball. It is indicated that he has a psychological fear about having to match up to his late father, Lionel Kaffee, a leading attorney, who is regarded as one of the great trial lawyers of recent times. Galloway manages to get herself appointed as Downey's lawyer, thus playing a part in the proceedings. The third member of the defense team is Kaffee's friend Lt. Sam Weinberg (Kevin Pollak).Kaffee meets with the defendants and finds that they are of the strictest type of Marines - those that serve in a "forward area" (on the line between their country and an...
