Movie Idea

The Future. The polar icecaps have not melted, and we are not entirely underwater. Al Gore’s crusade against greenhouse gasses in an effort to stop ebb global warming has succeeded and fostered a new environmentally conscious society. Beginning in 2008, the world no long elects conservative leaders but rather Barack Obama becomes a symbol of the perfect leader after which all other elected officials are modeled. Pollution is outlawed. World peace is achieved. Prisons become vacant save a few of the most hardened criminals. Hunger and starvation are but footnotes in history. Most importantly of all, there is no more litter on our streets—no landfills to be found. The Future. All garbage is shot into the sun.

The Future. Al Gore’s vision has become a reality and the world has become a utopia until one day it becomes earth’s worst nightmare. That’s right. A canister of space-garbage causes a chemical reaction that halts the fusion reaction taking place on the sun. What was once a battle against global warming has turned into a race against global chilling. The source of all life on earth has been extinguished! Something needs to be done but there is no time to train astronauts for this mission. With a ban on pollution, starting fires became highly illegal, Jack London’s To Build a Fire was banned, and the ability to do so fell out of common knowledge. We must call upon the arsonists in our prisons to re-light the sun!
