The plot summaries database is maintained by
Colin Tinto <[e-mail]>.

All additions to the summaries list should be submitted through the movie
database mail-server additions interface (see the section "How to submit your
additions" below for details). Summaries sent directly to me receive much
lower priority. You have been warned...

Questions about the format not covered in the rules below may be sent directly
to me <[e-mail]>, but must have "PLOT QUERY" in the subject line.

For more information on the movie database project see Col Needham's FAQ,
available by sending e-mail with the subject "HELP FAQ" to
<[e-mail]>

* A selection of movies will be included in the IMDB newsletter, with a
  request for people to send plot summaries for them.

Rules
-----
1. Try to avoid any spoilers.   Some very small spoilers will be allowed, and
   are often necessary, but any biggies will annoy other readers when they
   find out the Butler didn't do it !

2. Any analysis of the film should be left out of the plot summary.   e.g.
   "This film is one of Hitchcocks finest".   It is up to the viewer
   to decide if he/she likes it.   This includes performances by
   actors and actresses.

3. Where possible, try not to use any actor or actress names in the plot
   outline.   This is already taken care of in the movie database.
   If possible, use the character names from the movie.

4. All copyrighted material is excluded from the plot outlines database.
   This includes Movie Guides, Newspapers, and even the blurb on the back
   of the video case.

5. You must stick to the pre-arranged format given below.   The plot summaries
   will be read in by a program, and will automatically be added to the
   list.   Any non-conformant outlines may be discarded.

6. Try and keep it reasonably short.   Less than 10 lines for the description
   if possible.

7. Any queries about plots or the submitting of plots must have "PLOT QUERY"
   in the subject line.

8. Please try and spell check any summaries you submit.

9. Try and keep your BY: line consistent if you write more than one summary.
   You will never make it into the top 10 if you have 5 variations of your
   name/mail address.

10.If you spot an error in a summary, mail me at [e-mail], with
   "PLOT ERROR" as the subject line.   Spelling and Grammar errors should
   be ignored.

11.Try and make sure that the movie name you use is correct, and contains
   the year in brackets, e.g. (1995)

Format
------

First an example:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MV: Vertigo (1958)

PL: San Francisco police detective (Scottie Fergusson) develops a fear of
PL: heights and is forced to retire when a colleague falls to his death during
PL: a chase. An old college friend (Gavin Elster) hires Scottie to watch his
PL: wife (Madeleine) who has become obsessed with the past. Scottie follows her
PL: around San Francisco and is drawn into a complex plot.

BY: Colin Needham <[e-mail]>
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The format is:

MV: <title>
PL: <text>
BY: <Real Name> followed by mail name, or enter anonymous if you wish

where:

"MV:" indicates the title of the movie, please follow the form as used on the
      lists. If you are in doubt check the movie database for a definitive
      answer.   Try to include the year in brackets as well.

"PL:" upto 76 characters per line of description. The description may span
      several PL lines.

"BY:" author of description.   Enter your name (or pseudonym) here.
      You may enter anonymous if you wish.

The PL and BY lines are treated as belonging to the last MV line
encountered by the software. The processing software ignore blank lines and
lines starting with a '-' so you can make the descriptions look tidy if you
wish.

NOTE: You MUST put a PL: at the start of every line of plot.   I cannot
      accept one PL: followed by a huge summary on one line.

Some more examples
------------------
MV: Alien (1979)

PL: The crew of the deep space mining ship Nostromo are awoken from hypersleep
PL: to investigate a strange signal from a nearby planet.   While investigating
PL: the signal, they discover it was intended as a warning, and not an SOS.
PL: What follows are some grisly and inventive special effects based on the
PL: work of H.R.Giger

BY: Colin Tinto <[e-mail]>

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MV: Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989)

PL: Renowned archeologist and expert in the occult, Dr. Indiana Jones, returns
PL: for the 3rd and final Indy film.   Teaming up with his father, Indiana
PL: sets out to try and find the Holy Grail.   Once again, the Nazis are after
PL: the same prize, and try to foil Indianas plans.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There are now two ways to submit plot summaries, directly, or via the UPDATE
TITLE interface :

How to submit your additions directly
-------------------------------------

For a full guide to submitting additions to the movie database, send an e-mail
message with the subject "HELP ADD" to <[e-mail]>. To submit
new plot summaries follow these guidelines:

 * place your formatted summaries (see previous section) in a file and before
   the first summary put the word:

PLOTS

   on a line on it's own (exactly as above in uppercase letters)

 * after the end of the last summary put the word:

END

   on a line on it's own (exactly as above in uppercase letters)

 * DO NOT include the lines "-"'s to separate summaries as shown in the
   examples above. Lines of dashes are assumed to be start of .signature
   markers in the mail-server and subsequent lines are ignored!

 * finally, mail the file with the subject:

ADD

   to <[e-mail]> and the server will return a receipt once your
   data has arrived. You must use the subject "ADD" otherwise the server will
   interpret your message as a request for information and the data will be
   lost. Your summaries will be placed in a queue and processed when the list
   is next updated.


How to submit additions with UPDATE TITLE
-----------------------------------------

UPDATE TITLE can be used for more than just plot additions.

If you have copies of your favourite movies on tape/LD at home, why not help
to complete the information on them directly from credits of your copy? Just
take a look at the instructions below, enter the missing information in the
easy new format and send it off.

To submit title data using the new interface, follow these simple instructions:

 (1) the first thing you need is a template containing the current details of
     the movie you wish to submit additions for. You can request a template by
     sending e-mail with the subject or body containing lines of the form:

TEMPL TITLE <title>

to <[e-mail]>

For example,

TEMPL TITLE Vertigo (1958)
TEMPL TITLE Four Weddings and a Funeral (1994)

 (2) load the returned template into your favourite editor and follow the
     instructions given in the template to add your data. The idea is that
     you are making the template look like the results of a standard "MOVIE"
     query from the mail-server. There are no complicated formats to learn,
     just follow the comments and add your data!

 (3) once you have finished editing the template, mail it back to the server -
     the reply address and subject are already set-up to do this, but in case
     you lose the mail-headers, just set the subject to "UPDATE TITLE" and
     send the file to <[e-mail]>.

That's all there is to it!

PL: underground operation for the resistance.  Quite often, the Germans'
PL: incompetence itself is what nearly lands Rene and his cohorts in hot
PL: water; they are not helped either by the locals who are dreadfully keen
PL: to get rid of the Germans, but their blatant and theatrical attempts at

PL: A man who drives a 60's lotus sports car around London, resigns from a Top
PL: secret job. We next see him packing for a holiday at home, and a
PL: credit appears ... "The Prisoner". He is gassed, falls asleep and then
PL: wakes up in "The Village". Everyone in "The Village" is a number, and
PL: is there for security reasons (people to dangerous and who hold too
PL: much information to just let go). The series spends all it's time
PL: trying to get the "information" out of No.6 about why he resigned. Plus

PL: strange cult UK TV series.

PL: "The Prisoner" is a unique piece of television. It addresses issues such as
PL: personal identity and freedom, democracy, education, scientific
PL: progress, art and technology, while still remaining an entertaining
PL: drama series. Over seventeen episodes we witness a war of attrition
PL: between the faceless forces behind 'The Village' (a Kafkaesque
PL: community somewhere between Butlins and Alcatraz) and its most strong
PL: willed inmate, No. 6. who struggles ceaselessly to assert his
PL: individuality while plotting to escape from his captors.

PL: After a young boy witnesses his parents' murder on the streets of Gotham
PL: City, he grows up to become the Batman - a mysterious figure in the
PL: eyes of Gotham's citizens - who takes crime-fighting into his own
PL: hands. He first emerges out of the shadows when the Joker appears - a
PL: horribly disfigured individual who is out for revenge on his former
PL: employer and generally likes to have a good time - but the identity of
PL: the `bat' is unknown. Perhaps millionaire Bruce Wayne and photographer
PL: Vicki Vale have a good chance of finding out?

MV: Batman Forever (1995)

PL: The Dark Knight of Gotham City confronts a dastardly duo: Two-Face and the
PL: Riddler. Formerly District Attorney Harvey Dent, Two-Face incorrectly
PL: believes Batman caused the courtroom accident which left him disfigured
PL: on one side; he has unleashed a reign of terror on the good people of
PL: Gotham. Edward Nygma, computer-genius and former employee of
PL: millionaire Bruce Wayne, is out to get the philanthropist; as The
PL: Riddler he perfects a device for draining information from all the
PL: brains in Gotham, including Bruce Wayne's knowledge of his other
PL: identity. Batman/Wayne is/are the love focus of Dr. Chase Meridan.
PL: Former circus acrobat Dick Grayson, his family killed by Two-Face,
PL: becomes Wayne's ward and Batman's new partner Robin the Boy Wonder.

BY: Ed Stephan <[e-mail]>

PL: Batman's third film follows the practice of the second by giving him two
PL: villains to face, Two-Face and the Riddler.  Two-Face blames Batman for
PL: his disfigurement and simply wishes him dead.  The Riddler is a
PL: disgruntled inventor who worked for Wayne Enterprises and is terribly
PL: jealous of Wayne's success and sophistication and uses his riddles to
PL: show his superiority over Wayne and Batman.  Added to this mix are a
PL: sexy abnormal psychologist who is not only studying the criminals, but
PL: has a thing for Batman as well and Dick Grayson, (Robin) is introduced.
PL: Gotham is still a dark and foreboding place in which Batman begins to
PL: come to grips with his own psychology as he relives the deaths of his
PL: parents in his dreams.

BY: John Vogel <[e-mail]>

PL: The caped crusader returns to fight Two-Face and The Riddler, whilst
PL: pursuing the lovely Chase Meridian. Trusty superhero sidekick Robin
PL: makes his first appearance in this movie series. Two-Face just wants
PL: Batman dead and The Riddler is happy to help him.

BY: Rob Hartill

PL: DA Harvey Dent is hideously scarred down one side, by an acid attack. The
PL: result is 2 personalities and 2 faces. Ideal qualifications for a
PL: politician you might think, but Two-face's only policy is vengeance on
PL: Batman. He teams up with Edward Nygma, a technical wizard who invents a
PL: brain-sucking TV and adopts the alto-ego of The Riddler.
PL: MEANWHILE...in the circus, Dick Grayson witnesses his acrobat family
PL: plummet earthwards and get a taste for sawdust. Two-face is to blame
PL: but Dick trades his anger for a rubber suit and becomes Robin. Two bad
PL: guys, two good guys and 8 personas.

PL: thrown from the top of a building and is transformed into Catwoman - a
PL: mysterious figure who has the same personality disorder as Batman.
PL: Batman must attempt to clear his name, all the time deciding just what
PL: must be done with the Catwoman.

BY: Graeme Roy <[e-mail]>

PL: In this, the second Batman movie, megalomaniac businessman Max Shreck sets
PL: a plot against Gotham City in motion.  He is joined by Penguin, a
PL: deformed and rather deranged man abandoned at birth by respectable
PL: parents.  Penguin, backed by hoodlums and real penguins, runs for
PL: mayor.  The plot is further complicated by Serena, a wronged secretary
PL: who transforms into Catwoman, a villain with mixed motives.

MV: Koyaanisqatsi (1983)

PL: A movie with no conventional plot: merely a collection of expertly
PL: photographed scenes.  Subject matter has a highly environmental theme.

BY: Murray Chapman <[e-mail]>

PL: Koyaanisqatsi is a documentary (of sorts) it is also a visual concert of
PL: images set to the haunting music of Phillip Glass. While there is no
PL: plot in the traditional sense, there is a definate scenario.  The film
PL: opens on ancient native american cave drawings, while the soundtrack
PL: chants "Koyaanisqatsi" which is a Hopi indian term for "life out of
PL: balance".  The film uses extensive time lapse photography (which speeds
PL: images up) and slow motion photography to make comparisons between
PL: different types of physical motion. In one of the first examples, we
PL: see cloud formations moving (sped up) intercut with a montage of ocean
PL: waves (slowed down) and in such a way we are able to see the
PL: similarities of movement between these natural forces.  This technique
PL: of comparison exists throughout the film, and through it we learn more
PL: about the world around us. The film progresses from purly natural
PL: environments to nature as affected by man, and finally to man's own
PL: manmade environment, devoid of nature yet still following the patterns
PL: of natural flow as depeicted in the beginning of the film, yet in chaos
PL: and disarray. Through this the film conveys it's key message, which is
PL: Koyaanisqatsi: life out of balance; crazy life; life in turmoil; life
PL: disintegrating; a state of life that calls for another way of living.
