Writing a Paper--Please Help!

So I'm writing a paper for one of my classes and I need to know what an example would be of a movie that is not protected by the First Amendment. Exclude child pornography, indecency, obscenity, all that. The movie can be hypothetical, doesn't have to already exist. I'm thinking something having to do with treason or ISIS or something.
Let me know what you think. Thanks, all.

Why?
Then focus on a violation of a copyright (e.g., a movie based a book, and someone else already legally owns the rights to produce a movie based on that book). Or, a movie that is no more than an incitement to violence.

How about a film about Islam/Mohammed that some could use as an excuse for an attack on an American ambassador oversees?

Considering Birth of a Nation is protected, and you can't use porn, good luck. I would say something like Mo Jeaux said: an incitement to violence or study the difference between a nongovernment employee and a government employee and their rights to free speech. I can't recall, but I think a nongovernment employee can get canned for talking shite about his employer while a government employee cannot. So a movie written and produced by a guy a GE that slanders GE.
Although if you're looking for something that allows for prior restraint, you'd have to do something like a movie threatening others' lives.

How about the Son of Sam law preventing a criminal from profiting off of their crime?

No movie is protected by the First Amendment.
Am I understanding this correctly?

Update: I've decided to take this paper in the direction of false or misleading commercial advertising. That is not protected by the First Amendment. Maybe a supplement that makes people sick or a pre-workout that negatively affects muscles in gym-goers.
Thanks, guys for all your insight and advice.

Propaganda film for the violent overthrow of the government with specific threats to real government officials.

What is the specific wording of the question? Is it the title of a movie or would a specific copy of a movie work?
The obvious answer is a bootleg copy of an existing movie. Or a movie made without any rights to the subject matter.
