INVASIVE SPECIES  (SAMPLE)

INVASIVE SPECIES (SAMPLE)
By Timothy Shireman

GENRE: Fantasy, Adventure
LOGLINE:

To keep a biological weapon out of enemy hands, Capt. Zach Burton will need a planeload of guts, gadgets, and maybe a Gizmo.

SYNOPSIS:

In 1945, at the Battle of Ramree Island, 1,000 Japanese soldiers were killed and eaten by crocodiles. Well, that's what the history books say. What if I told you they were wrong? INVASIVE SPECIES is part fanfic, part homage: A rollicking action adventure, a cinematic love letter to the movies that defined American moviegoing in the 1980's.

Our story follows the adventures of a US Army Air crew, nicknamed the 'Flying Mushrooms' because of the ask-no-questions nature of their clandestine flights. After years spent flying secret missions through enemy territory in his tricked-out plane: The Shanghai Express, hotshot pilot Captain Zachary 'Pork Chop' Burton is a man who lives by the seat of his pants. Thank goodness he's got great reflexes. He and his misfit crew of American heroes thought they had seen it all. Nazis, spies, even a treasure-seeking archaeology professor.

His latest mission finds him flying through enemy territory, with two soldiers, two civilians, a probable spy, and something small and adorable in a wooden box. Ambushed and shot down somewhere over the jungles of Burma, the crew begins to suspect they've been double-crossed. When a crash landing complicates things, it's up to the wits, guts, and quick thinking of our heroes to save the day. To survive the jungle and complete the mission, they must outwit the Japanese, keep their passengers alive, and prevent anyone from breaking three important rules. We're pretty sure you already know what they are...
