Writing Challenges : Divide and Conquer – Part II

Despite its simplicity, Benson’s escape from Grant posed a lot of challenges. First, once Benson escaped, how would he find his way? This is the early 90s, when GPS devices still weren’t very popular. That’s why he finds a map in the car. There was also the final battle between Grant and Benson. Originally, this was supposed to take place along a country road, but we gave up that idea. Benson had to get to the aircraft to go to Bhutan and every minute counted. But how far exactly was this country road from the departure platform? We solved the problem by staging the battle directly on the platform. The final challenge was to figure out a way to get rid of Grant temporarily, without killing him off, so he would be out of commission long enough to not warn his partners.
