5. Synopsis: Luke goes to the ancient temple and search for a gold wine glass so that he can make a big money. However, he lost his way inside of the temple and he could not go back to the base camp. He makes a hideout and explores near his hideout until he fixes the radio. While he explores there, he feels happiness and joy. He gradually falls in love with the adventure. Time flies, and one day, he realizes that an old bowl that he has used as a cup is the ancient gold wine glass that he was looking for. Then, his compass and radio starts to work again. The temple already knew that he could never leave here. He calls to his client with a walkie-talkie, and says that there is not an ounce of gold here. No one could see him and the temple never again.

Elevator Pitch

Adventure makes people's heart beat. This is the reason why tons of Adventure movies come out every year. By the way, do we have to go to the Everest or Jungle if we want adventure? Sometimes life itself feels like an adventure. Maybe we are wandering in the life filled with worries and incidents.

In my film, Luke will go to the ancient temple and have an adventure instead of us. We will observe his failures, succeeds, and unexpected treasures. Finding a treasure is like our own life. There is no direct way toward it. We wander, fail, stand up again and reach to the goal. During the adventure, we find something more important than gold wine-glass. What will he find in the temple? I am sure that his adventure will make you the next adventurer.
