"Judgment"
Copyright 2006
In development
At an elite college preparatory school, 4-6 teenagers meet and band together to change the fate of the world by putting their high-powered relatives on trial, passing judgment against them, and if warranted, executing them.
The setup: these 4-6 teenagers are each very closely related to one of 4-6 of the most influential leaders/dignitaries on the planet at this time. These leaders, by their actions and decisions, have controlled the fate of the world events for the last 10-20 years and have brought the world to its present state of near self-destruction.
When the teens meet in prep school, they each come to the realization that it is up to them to halt the destruction that is occurring around the world. They realize also who each of them is, in relation to each of their powerful relatives, and they hatch a plan to kidnap these relatives and take them to a remote location - likely a Chateau, or an underground compound - where no Secret Service will ever find them. Effectively, they have disappeared.
Once at the remote hideaway, the trials begin. The dignitaries are strapped into chairs, in special body-constraining devices which attach to the wall. There is a rope around each of their necks. When a switch is flipped, the chair will pull away and the person’s neck will snap at the the end of the rope. There is a large screen on the wall in front of them, on which evidence will be presented for and against the person on trial. Various atrocities will be shown (i.e., ethnic cleansing, war, famine, etc.), as person by person, the trial continues.
The “jury” consists of the 4-6 teenagers. Their motive is to change the world by either executing the evil dignitaries, or forcing them to reform. Among the teens, however, one of them turns into a Judas as the trials continue. He sets out to covertly destroy The Plan, and the teens begin to die as the “accidents” mount up.
