i have no idea where i'm going wrong. so i'm caving in and asking you clever people.

Use input() to ask the user if they want to start the movie. If they answer anything other than "n" or "N", print "Enjoy the show!". Otherwise, call sys.exit(). You'll need to import the sys library.

firedoor.py 
import sys

while Start_movie = True:
      print("play movie hit Y/N").lower()
  if input = 'Y'
      print("Enjoy the show!")
  elif input = 'N'
      sys.exit()

A few suggestions:

You don't need a while loop. Just an if-else statement and input. You should chain lower() to an input statement not the print statement. You could pass the string "play movie hit Y/N" to input and then call lower on that. Also, in the if statement you need == to do comparisons.
