A movie guessing game with rules. Check the rules before you play so your posts don't get removed.

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.

The game sucks. If you lose, you die. If you win, you die. You play until you either win, or die.

Oh, and there's another thing. The game's not open to just anybody.

The camera pans out and ruins the ending. Not a spoiler, just a bad director choice.

Hint: from the last year
