Introduction: Peter has just directed his new movie, called "Sand Pirates of the Sahara". His life is going well he has a lot of money, drives a nice car, and has a good-looking girlfriend. Just when his life is perfect, Congress accuses him of being a Communist when they discover he attended a Communist meeting in college. As this happens his new movie that he is doing Ashes to Ashes gets canceled. The only reason he attended was to impress a girl he likes.
Problem #1: After Congress wrongly accuses him; he is depressed and gets drunk. Attempting to drive, he cashes his car into the side of a bridge. Him and his car fall into the fast flowing river and begin to flow fast downstream and hit his head so hard he blacks everything out. He wakes up on the beach with a dog in his face and an old man greeting him. He has no memory of anything in his life. So the old man takes him into the town.
Problem #2: When he enters the town many people say he looks familiar and greets him very well. After eating at a diner that the old man took him into, the old man takes him to see the Doctor of the town. Luke's dad walks up to him thinking it’s his son and takes him home. He tells Peter that he is his son. Since Peter doesn't remember anything and believes everything that this man is telling him and he now thinks he is Luke Trimble, he finds out that the town had lost a lot of young men and sons because of World War II and Luke Trimble was one of them but they never found his body to prove he had died. Now that Peter thinks he is Luke, when Luke's high school girlfriend sees him they began to talk again. She helps him try to remember his earlier life but he still doesn’t remember. The Majestic is the old movie theater in the town. Luke and his father own it and they began working on it to fix it up for re-opening. Everyone helps them put the theater back to the way it was and it was great when they finished it.
Problem #3:.Peter watches his movie "Sand Pirates of the Sahara" and figures out his Peter not Luke. Luke's father falls ill of a heart attack which will later kill him in the re-opening of the majestic, and Luke's Father dies without knowing Peter was not his son Luke. The Communist Witch Hunt comes for Peter after they had investigated him for a while. The whole town finds out that Peter is not Luke, which is a very sad moment because they needed him to be Luke so they have hope of the others sons that died at war. The FBI roll into town to arrested Peter and tell him to testify in court the next day. Peter at this point is very confused and doesn’t know what to do. Luke's high school sweetheart tells Peter to stand up for what himself and what's right in the United States and for the freedom of others. Peter does not know what to do and goes to Court with a letter from Luke to his girlfriend which encourages Peter to stand up to the Supreme Court. The court case is live on television so everyone can watch, Peter does not testify, but stands up for the sons of the small town in California and for those who died in World War II. He also reads part of the Constitution and says this is not American this is not freedom which speaks for everyone in the United States.
Conclusion: Peter is released from the court and the lawyer in the car says he has won the court case and does not have to go to jail because he stated the girl’s name that was also in Hollywood. Peter returns to the California town, and is greeted by a band and everyone in the village, it was a celebration.
He finds Luke's high school sweetheart that he now loves and creates a family and runs the Majestic.
