Not a lot of explanation, really. Choose a book, movie, TV series etc. and describe what would have happened if it had been an adventure or campaign with your current group. How would players have reacted to events, what would the DM have done, etc? To demonstrate, I'll go first.
If...Raiders of the Lost Ark...were my campaign...
Everything is the same up until the Tibet sequence. Indy (who is a min/maxed character with maximum dodge and combat abilities) arrives at the bar where Marion (who is also a ninja) has drunk every patron under the table without breaking a sweat. They have a brief argument about 'the past' before the Nazis arrive. They threaten to torture Marion before Indy shoots all of them, and Marion does a flying leap into Ronald Lacey's character and kills him stone dead before he can even bring out the red-hot poker. They then tie up one of the Nazis and 'interrogate' him until he tells them everything he knows about the Ark, then they leave him in the bar. They fly to Eqypt where they meet Sallah, who is a mage, and, having the headpiece already, go straight to the map room. Someone tries to intercept them on the way but they kill him. Sallah casts a translation spell on the headpiece so they can avoid going to the wise man. They find where the Ark is buried and realise the Nazis are digging in the wrong place. They did up the Ark, but the Naxis spot them and a firefight breaks out. In the process, Belloc is killed and Dietrich is thrown into the snake pit. With the Ark, the players then steal a German plane to fly it away, but they are shot at by the Luftwaffe. They fight back and kill all the bad guys and then fly away back to America with the Ark. When I award them XP they complain, and then one of them tries to fence the Ark on the black market. The end.
