Please Finish This Plot?

Please Finish This Plot?


First off, I'm not a liar who's making stuff up behind a computer. I'll start by explaining my intentions. I'm 15 years old, and I plan on becoming a film director. Local film production studios have offered me productions jobs, and I've taken them, so I'm not kidding, or being narcissistic, when I say that I will most likely become a major film director.


My intention is to begin with low-budget films, with the intention to achieve high profit while sacrificing some artistic integrity. Then I'll move into bigger budgets, and as I gain freedom as a director, I'll make my films more meaningful, rather than just blockbuster cash cow $hit.


That's where this film comes into play. I've developed a plot, and I'm aiming at an early Spielberg feel. The problem is that the plot contains such an enigma I can't fill it in an be satisfied with my own idea. I need help to complete the plot, so here goes.





Martin Cobb, 44, lives in Chicago with his son Sam, 16. Martin is a journalist for the Chicago Sun Times. As layoffs loom, and debt grows, Martin is left with a problem. He's first in line to be laid off, and unless he can find a front-page story, he can't prevent the fate. Without enough money to give his son a better life than his, he sends Sam to live with a friend downtown. Martin is totally at a loss about what to write, and in his darkest hour, he receives a mysterious, anonymous fax. It is written in code, which he cracks. The fax says "CIA in Chicago. Digging. Searching. You must investigate."


Martin investigates, because he has nothing else to write a story about. Upon searching, he pieces things together. He notices strange construction sites downtown, covered by tarps. There are strange sounds coming from inside the construction sites. He also notices a strange plane flying over town, day after day. He asks Air Traffic Control about the plane, and they say that there are no planes flying over town. He receives another fax from the anonymous source. It says "Airplane. Thermal Mapping. Searching."


Meanwhile, Sam, staying at his friend's house, misses his dad. The apartment he's staying in, where his friend lives, is in a tall building downtown, overlooking one of the strange construction sites, which is roofed in by tarps, and walled in by tarps, so the public can't see inside. One night, during a storm, Sam sees that a tarp was blown off of the roof, and he can see inside. There is a drill, and he can see that they're making a big tunnel into the street. Sam tells Martin over the phone.


Over the course of the film, Martin and Sam go inside the construction site, discover the secrets of the CIA in town, etc. The CIA was making the tunnels underground to search for something. Also, the plane was taking thermal images of the city, also looking for the thing, because the thing they're looking for is cold.


Martin gets his front page article, keeps his job, gets Sam back, and they all live happily ever after, after exposing a CIA coverup.





The question is, what was the CIA looking for that was:


1)Underground


2)Cold





You tell me, and be creative.|||Someone had buried something there and it was probably illegal for them to spend so much time and money getting it--maybe money? Total corruption in the CIA :P Also, for something cold it could be a machine that someone didn't want anyone to find and the planes were mapping its location underground. Some kind of machine that is for some reason cold...? I have no idea. Maybe it was putting people in danger so they needed to dig it out w/out anyone noticing.





In the future you might want to ask for permission to use the ideas as well, since you're actually planning to make a movie (idk if that will happen but still).





Hope that helped!|||They could be looking for an animal that tells them when the world ends. Idk, Just a thought.





Answer mine?


http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;鈥?/a>|||A DRAGON! in a big glacier. BOOYAH!!|||I'm very inquisitive and critical of movies... especially movie plots and endings...





The better question is, why is the CIA looking in Chicago and not a foreign country, wouldn't that be the FBI's job?





and *IF* they're looking in their home country... imho... they had better find something the Russians or North Koreans put there, otherwise you're pulling ideas out of the clouds!





how about cryogenic nuclear weapons...|||Some kind of technology that radiates cold; can be used to start an Ice Age in specific locations of the world. The CIA are trying to get it so they have a secret super-weapon to use against other governments as blackmail or something. (You know, like HAARP, but colder!)





I don't know; that's just off the top of my head. But I hope this helps you!|||i think you did a VERY good job me being a 13 year old female i enjoyed just reading your ideas.i would be very eager to see this movie and would recommend it to my freinds and family. This is a very good plot and i am very interested.|||Firstly, wow! amazing being 15 and doing all that, and I love the plot. But, you're kinda asking for the main part of your story to come from someone else and then take all the credit which seems kinda unfair. It'd be like me taking your story, adding in what the CIA are looking for and then passing it off as my own :/ I think you've done a really good job so far, but don't ruin it by taking other people's ideas, just think, it could be anything at all you like.


What would the government want to cover up?


you name it, it could be down there :L
