Plaintiffs created an original screenplay and copyrighted it before trying to pitch it to a major motion

Question:

Plaintiffs created an original screenplay and copyrighted it before trying to pitch it to a major motion picture producer, who rejected the screenplay. That same company, five years later, produced a major motion picture with the same basic theme that the plaintiffs had pitched, but the plot, mood, setting, and pace of the two works were different. Do you think the plaintiffs had a case for copyright infringement?
