h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Here is the complete (FINAL) plan for the Cold Hard Betrayal script. I don't know whether or not to dump it and start on something else, or to just work with it, being my first. You can email me at this Address:

Please send me any comments, no matter good or bad they are.

Here is the final Script plan: (Not the script, the plan)

Overview: This is set somewhat in the future, because of technology, and some fictional powers of the Director of the CIA. I need to do a little research on the powers of the Director of the CIA, and what I could have happen after this…

Scene 1: Beginning infiltration

In this scene, the credits are shown while Robert Driggs, the main character, infiltrates a facility. The point of this scene is to show the kind of work he does, and what is in store for the rest of the movie. Not much spoken word, but Action should be great. Anyway, the mission goes terribly, and Robert fails. He gets a comm-call (Video-cell phone), saying he has been put on suspension. He doesn’t understand since it seems he wasn’t able to prevent the problem from occurring. His boss, Patrick Zims, reviews the overview of the corps he works for, a secret organization, started by Patrick, the Deputy Director of intelligence at the CIA (2nd in command).

Scene 2: Mission Briefing [A couple months later]

This will be placed in the office or in Robert’s home, with people on the phone. Robert is reinstated as a field agent after only one month, so he has been on duty for a while. He had planned a vacation, but Patrick calls him into a mission briefing, where he is shown the layout of his next mission. It is to be carried out in the highest security. It is such a high risk, that if Robert should be caught, his relationship with the agency is erased. He is to assassinate a traitorous (high-ranking) official (Supposedly the Military Advisor to the CIA, John Whittley). The plan is to infiltrate an ally base while he is on routine inspection, and eliminate him.

Scene 3: The Mission (Into the Fox-hole)

He infiltrates successfully, but when he isolates the target, he finds it is not the Military Advisor, but Dean Warmont, the Director of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). He is just about to radio for further instructions, when a mysterious assassin appears, and fires at the Director of CIA. Unfortunately, the mystery guest has turned on the security cameras and fired while Robert’s gun was still raised. Unfortunately, his problem is avoiding the security teams rushing to the scene of the murder, and he could not find anything out about the mystery Assassin.

Scene 4: The Cut-off (On Your Own…)

This scene appears after he escapes, and shows that the agency really disavowed any knowledge whatsoever of his connection there. He desperately tries to piece together what had happened. Fortunately, Robert has a contact that he trusts at the agency, and tries to contact him. However, his contact believes Robert has gone bad, so he tips off the police to his location. Afterward, he phones Patrick to ask what happened…


Scene 5: The Truth (Revelation)

Robert phones Patrick, but is shocked to discover that Patrick set him up. It was a phony mission to frame Robert, the corps’ best agent, and get the dirty work done. He needed the Director of the CIA dead to take command of the CIA. From there, he has access to most of the United States. He could slowly, but surely, put his plans into effect and take over the United States, then the world.


Scene 6: A friend in the biz (Meet the partner)

After several days of thinking through his options, Robert goes his friend Gregory Stanframe, currently on surveillance duty at a terrorist strong hold (Alaska). Once there, Robert informs him of the trouble with Patrick.

Scene 7: The Plan (Time is running out)

They formulate a plan.

Scene 8: It’s Time… (The Show)

We start by seeing them enter the CIA headquarters and bug is room during the night, but there are plenty of booby traps, so they are forced to enter through access ducts, and make their way around detectors, etc. Next, they intend to research his computer, but the minute they do anything, the computer sends off a silent alarm, and locks them in the room.

Scene 9: The Real Objective (Final Revelation)

Robert awakens tied to a chair. He was moved to a secret base, owned by Patrick. Patrick reveals that was Gregory who shot Warmont, and that he knew they would be coming anyway. He reveals that the true scheme was to be at the top, where no one would be able to detect his hacking into many banks and government installations. That way, he gets total control. Patrick is about to execute Robert, when the cavalry arrive, brought by the contact made earlier. He unties Robert, and there is a large gunfight. Gregory is killed, but Patrick escapes into the woods nearby the secret base. After a short pursuit, the two rivals (Patrick and Robert) have one final Showdown.

Scene 10: The Conclusion

Robert returns and has some final words with his contact (We will call him Jared Ferns or now).

PLEASE NOTE: The final script is subject to MAJOR changes, of whatever I feel like, or whatever you suggest to me.
