Hi All. Please can I have 2 minutes of your time for some feedback on my synopsis pasted below before I start sending the film script out to Production companies. Let me know if reads ok and whether it sounds interesting or not.... Thanks. It’s 1982; Daniel Croxley (12) lives with his mother opposite the old abandoned R.A.F. fighter station in Hawksdown. One evening Daniel is woken by the ghostly figure of an R.A.F. Airman stood at the foot of his bed, the airman speaks “We need the best Dan, time is short”. Daniel decides to face his fear and enter the eerie grounds. Once inside the rusting aircraft hanger he picks up an old bomb timer lying on the floor and starts to play with it, a blue light appears from a doorway in front of him. Daniel cautiously opens the door and enters, it slams shut behind him and the blue light fades trapping him in the past. Eighteen years later and the abandoned airfield is now a Battle of Britain museum. Brett Sandler, (18) lives with his Gran (Sheila). A fan of rock music and a petty thief he decides to break into the Battle of Britain museum and steal artefacts. As he cuts the through the wire fence a ghostly voice whispers “For luck, I’m waiting” Once inside the aircraft hanger Brett sees a blue light emanating from a doorway, upon entering the door it slams shut, trapping him in the year 1940. It’s 1940 and the Battle of Britain is just beginning. Daniel Croxley has lured Brett back in time to train as a fighter pilot and become one of “The Few” as punishment for breaking into his museum. At first Brett is adamant he wants to go home until he meets Amy Littlewood, a pilot with the Air Transport Auxiliary. Brett is soon enamoured by her and decides to play along with Daniels plan. After a bad start to his pilot training, Amy offers to take him up in a Tiger Moth. His lesson with Amy comes to a shattering reality when a German ME 109 shoots at them; and their crippled plane crash-lands near Dover. Brett meets his Granddad (Reg), but it is short lived, as an air raid on the airfield leaves a German bomb skidding across the grass before bouncing down the steps of the women’s air raid shelter. Reg rushes to their aid. Sheila informs him that she’s pregnant. Reg carefully lifts the bomb out of the shelter. It explodes, killing him instantly. Brett witnesses the whole thing, he forgot, he could have saved his granddad. As the weeks pass The Battle of Britain intensifies and Brett becomes a fighter pilot and his relationship with Amy develops.
