From the information you have provided, the engine did NOT overheat. One of three things happened:
1: Timing belt slipped a bit and finally broke. To check this, remove the oil filler cap and have someone turn the key to crank the engine while you look in the hole, if the camshaft is not rotating, the timing belt broke and all you need to do is replace it. If the camshaft is turning, the timing belt is most likely fine.
2: The lack of fuel delivery possibly caused by a bad fuel pump relay or a bad fuel pump. The fuel pump or a corroded fuse have often been the culprit.
3: Something is wrong with the ignition system, remove one of the plug wires and plug in a spare spark plug while it's outer body is touching the bare metal of the engine, crank the key, does the plug throw a spark? If it does, ignition is not the problem, if it doesn't, well you now know roughly what system is causing the problem.
Run the above tests and let us know what you find.
