Here is a synopsis for my script Molten Age, think an R-rated Interstellar:

By the year 2050, global warming is nearing its peak and climate disasters affect all countries. Billions of lives are lost to nature. Survivors are recruited to construct and reside within the Trillion Star Motel, a space station just outside of Earth.

The workers and their families discover the motel is also a safe haven for those most responsible for Earth’s destruction. The final politician alive on the station uses its mainframe before being executed. Seventy-five years later, he gets his revenge. The motel shuts down power and must use a backup generator and reserve oxygen that will run out within a decade.

The greatest hovercar racer to ever live, RENDALL REGENT, is chosen for his exposure to high-velocities to use untested light speed travel in a mission to save Earth. Accompanying Rendall are three scientists and retired astronaut ANNIE FREE-WOLF.

Rendall and the squad are briefed about five evenly spaced out quadrants on Earth where they will deploy atmospheric converters. Small machines that dig straight into Earth’s crust and once activated, will bring a second Ice Age to the planet in an instant.

Quadrant One is a melted city filled with lava and bubbling tar rivers. Fiery lightning occasionally strikes causing massive explosions.

Quadrant Two is located at the bottom of a dried out ocean. The ocean-floor is a boneyard of dead fish and crustaceans, and houses carnivorous creatures that have adapted to the waterless, pitch-black depths.

Quadrant Three used to be a sandy beach, now it’s a vast glass road that glows orange because of molten glass far beneath its surface.

Quadrant Four is a city surrounded by dried and molten lead. Statues of people still stand who could not escape from hot lead raining over them. A shift in polarity forces metal to float through the air.

Quadrant Five is an enormous rainforest where evolved, omnivorous plant-life resides and has grown the ability to mobilize and attack its prey.

The team flies around the globe aboard a ship. They make multiple trips in milliseconds and stop briefly above each of the five destination points. This creates five duplicates of the ship and each member aboard. Rendall and Annie suffer no negative effects from light speed travel, while the others experience a shared psychosis.

They all touch-down at their designated regions. The teams wear hi-tech armour enabling them to withstand intense heat and fight or flee from potential threats. Rendall and Annie soon discover their travel companions want to murder them for not being similarly affected by light speed.

Rendall and Annie move through treacherous environments to evade their attackers and in many cases, kill or be killed. One version of Rendall and one version of Annie survive the crazed scientists and hazardous settings and emerge victorious. They leave Earth on the remaining ship and watch the Molten Age be replaced by the second Ice Age.

The 2nd and 3rd acts taking place on Earth require me to kill off 23 characters. I love writing death scenes, especially gory ones. I’ve only thought of a few death scenes so far:

Quadrant One:
1) A crazed scientist has his shield depleted, then gets sprayed with molten tar, melting through his suit and reducing him to a puddle of blood and liquified flesh and bone.
2) A hero character attracts a flaming lightning strike while being pursued by scientists, the resulting explosion blows them all to cinder.
Quadrant Two:
3) Amphibious, humanoid, bone-eating creatures with night vision sneak up on the scientists and heroes and tear through the flesh of a few characters, going straight for their bone marrow.

Also, the character Annie is a pacifist until Rendall is killed early on in Quadrant Five. This is the only version of Annie who murders any scientist character.
