Homework: My Film Pitch

Equilibrium:
My film is the story of Police Sergeant Jack Kreaker, who works for the Metropolitan Police and has a reputation for unconventional methods and for occasionally disregarding orders.
Disruption:
He uncovers a terrorist plot to destroy several government-built structures, including the London Eye, in such a way that it will be put down to bad design and manufacture, causing people to blame the government for the disasters and to mistrust them, ultimately bringing down the country. The first bomb is set to explode in 16 hours and 29 minutes. Unfortunately, his superiors insist that they wait for more evidence before taking action. However, he declares that he will try to stop them , against their wishes. When he realises this, Chief Inspector Jones, who is in charge of finding the extra evidence needed, but is also a traitor, working for the terrorist group, immediately informs them. They take Jack's girlfriend hostage and send him a note telling him where she is - a long way from where the bombs have been planted. With time running out, Jack must choose between her and his duty, reminding him of a similar situation that he was put in years ago, which resulted in his wife's death (the audience have seen short flashbacks throughout the film, but not enough to completely reveal Jack's history). With the help of a young sidekick, in whom he confides the story about his wife, he sets out to save his love interest.
Restoration:
In the end, it is Jack's teenage companion who stops the bombs. While they succeed, they fail to catch the the mastermind behind the plot, who escapes with Jones. At the end of the film, Jack realises that his helper is actually his long-lost son, by his late wife.
This idea was partially inspired by the Die Hard films and Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.

This film will need a high budget, but will not require many sophisticated special effects, or C.G.I.. I think that it has potential to be very successful, as the scenario that it creates is one that people are very familiar with, but it has a good U.S.P.: the villain gets away.
