THE PLOT OF 'SNATCHED' & MEET THE STEREOTYPES

We have finally formed a solid plot for our movie 'SNATCHED'...

Our story revolves around an English crime boss, controlling parts of the country through drugs trafficking and many other illegal activities. Johny (crime boss) is in his element, he is one of the most powerful gangsters in England and not many people would attempt to cross his path. Ben and Aaron are two youths from Nottingham who have found themselves stuck in financial debt with the wrong people, including Johnny; this situation has put both their lives on the line. As Ben finds himself drinking his problems away in a local club, he over hears a girl talking about her gangster boyfriend, Johnny. Thinking on the spot, Ben and Aaron kidnap Johnny's girlfriend (Ruby) inorder to hold her hostage with the intentions to receive a ransom for her safety. This causes a vicious spiral of violence as Johnny attempts to do whatever he can alongside his right hand man (Mickey) to reassure the safety of his beloved girl. The two begin a journey of the streets filled with drugs, violence and chaos inorder to track down the kidnappers and to bring back Ruby and for Johnny to regain his power and seek revenge on those who have crossed him.
