The story of “Crash and Burn” tells of a clash of cultures where the water crisis of Egypt meets the American Dream. Set in Orlando, Florida, a group of Egyptian missionaries find a girl named Sunset who they believe contains the spirit of The Phoenix Bird. The Phoenix is a mythological bird that watched over the rising an falling of the Sun and Nile River. They believe the Phoenix has returned in the body of the girl and is the key to saving the Nile from drying up. However, there are those who wish to use the girl’s power for control and luckily for her an All American Iraqi war veteran named Crash, who has seen how corruption can destroy a civilization and has had enough, rescues her from the clutches of the radical group.
The film is an Allegory about how the best interests of our society can become maliciously turned into corruption and greed and that its up to us as free thinking heart driven people to do what’s right no matter the cost even if it means to Crash and Burn.
