The Coin - Film Idea

Not everyone is high born, in fact come to think of it not many people are high born, but where does that leave everyone else, where does that leave you?

In 340 BC when Rome was slowly on the road to greatness there was a city. This city was called Astapor and in Astapor there was something different. Something not like the other cities. The high born were high born but the others. Well the others had to get by there own way. Each year there was a competition in the colosseum but no ordinary competition. Thousands will be entered but not by their choice. You're given a choice when you are born a peasant you either become a slave or you become a solider. Each year 1000 soldiers are picked from random age groups from 12 - 60 and if you're picked you have to go through the 250 challenges where you face all kinds of animals and people as they sometimes fight each other and then sometimes team up to beat others and no one gets out alive. As soon as one person makes it through all 250 challenges they win, but if more than 1 person makes it through then only one gets out alive. So far no one at all has ever completed all 250 challenges and lived to tell the tale, until today. A man named Jonas Valhalla takes on the challenge but does he make it?
