Far too much plot edit

The plot description contains 1,138 words, which is 1.4 times the length of a standard newspaper article. I can't get past the first paragraph. Could someone who knows the film please knock out a snappy 100-word summary to replace the novel? Time is short in the modern world. — O'Dea (talk) 06:45, 10 April 2015 (UTC)Reply

WP policy allows for a 600 to 800 word summary of a film plot; I have reduced this morass of gibberish to 544 words. Nevertheless, I will probably be accused of vandalism and the edit will be reverted. It was easy to remove irrelevancies and redundancies and try to make sense of nonsense, but having not seen the film I can't possibly make this any shorter than I have. 12.233.147.42 (talk) 01:19, 22 May 2015 (UTC)Reply
