Film Pitch

The Lone Wolf

An agent from MI6 is missing with important blueprints of a bio-weapon that could kill those who's DNA isn't recognised and it's up to the hero to stop the weapon from launching. This film is a Action Thriller. This film is a cross between Skyfall and Batman Begins. This film will appeal to the core-cinema going age 12-30 who like action thrillers. The story is about Henry Smith on his journey to stop a detonation from killing innocence. On the contrary, MacMillan is the antagonist who wants to have an equal country by killing innocence who don't agree with his ideals. The story is of Henry when he gets a text message from his friend who tells him that he's been deserted somewhere unknown and had the blueprints taken from him. Henry tries to convince his Squad Leader that something has happened but doesn't listen so he becomes a lone wolf and goes to rescue his friend and recover the blueprints. Meanwhile, MacMillan wants a country that agrees with his choices and wants no one against his opinions.
