If you're interested in how to format a screenplay I suggest you visit www.trelby.org/ Trelby is a very good application for both Linux and Windows which formats your screenplay while you write.
As for the way a screenplay is written and the conventions used, the best way is to take a look at the original screenplays of your favorite movies.
You can find plenty of web sites which provide screenplays in pdf format just by searching "screenplays download" on google.

I would just go to www.imsdb.com/ and look at how the professional screenplays are written for a starting point. Also www.simplyscripts.com/the-archives/ is a good resource for a general overview. Also I would read general books on screenplay writing to find the little changes you need to make it get accepted. Good luck!
