Unfortunately, as soon as you start talking about making a game, book, T-shirt, or just about anything elsze based on a film, your getting into copywrite teretory. You can't get away from that, it's a central issue. see tom wards artical in the last audeasy magazine for more details.
Saying "Well I didn't want to ask about copywrite but wanted to ask about making games from films" is unfortunately like saying "Well I didn't want to ask about screen readers, i just want to ask how a Vi person can use a computer" Any answer you get is inseparable from the question. If you just want to know about the plot of films, Wikipedia is your friend! Just go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page and type the name of alice in wonderland or whatever your looking for into the search box. Hth. Beware the Grue!
