Apparently, there is a Civil War movie being produced. Here’s how I would lay out the plot of such a movie.
Act 1
In the background of a conversation between a liberal mom and a conservative son is an announcement that the post-Election Day debate is growing tense.
Inciting Incident: Rather abruptly, things collapse across the United States as there is a huge debate about who POTUS is
The Heroine gets separated from her son in the chaos.
Second Act
Midpoint: the Heroine gets captured by Red forces
We see that tactical nukes have been used across the United States and the lights go out.
Third Act
The chaos of all of this allows her to get out her imprisonment.
The moment of truth is when she’s about to get murdered by Red forces — she’s saved by her son, who is now the leader of Red forces.
