Bad Movie Pitch: The Last Space Pirate Base

Logline: An idealistic space-rebel (Eli) fights the evil Alliance to protect the last space-pirate outpost. The Alliance agents have obtained the drive with the coordinates of the space pirate base, and Eli has to infiltrate their flagship and destroy the drive, before their scientists manage to decrypt it.

  • Hook: Learn that the government agents have the blueprint. A smal space ranger ship arrives at the pirate base (a large hollow asteroid in the midst of the asteroid field), driven by the autopilot. Inside, Eli finds the dead body of one of the most notorious space pirates, and a holographic recording of him saying that the Alliance has obtained the drive with the coordinates, and the pirates must prepare for battle.
  • Challenge 1: Capture or infiltrate the small Alliance patrol ship, to be able to obtain the uniforms and security codes to infiltrate the flagship.
  • Challenge 2: After Eli infiltrates the flagship, an annoying commanding officer commands Eli to follow him and help him fix a broken engine. It is a boring task that will take all day, and Eli must escape from that situation unnoticed so he can get to the labs.
  • Challenge 3: To get high enough clearance code to access the labs, Eli must steal them from the commander at the bridge, right under the noses of the high-ranking Alliance officers and senior staff are.
  • Climax: Enter the lab where the disk is being decrypted, cause small fire to activate the sprinklers that will destroy the devices. Escape through the air vents, steal a ship from the docks, and fly it out to freedom.
