Synopsis/Details: 

It's 1917 with biplanes.

Comparable scripts are 1917 and ALL QUIET ON THE WESTERN FRONT.

Think Scarlett Johansson as our magnificent lead, shot down over no-man's land, she must fight physical and mental obstacles to survive, provide critical intelligence to the allies and shorten the Great War.

It's about time a war film had a strong female lead.

Attached Talent: 

Scarlett Johansson and Damon Herriman.
Okay I'm kidding but I'm going to send this to their agents. Budget with LED Volumes and photo pallette backgrounds would be quite reasonable to achieve, 15-30m ballpark.
