FREEDOM RULES!
(a Film Treatment)
by Richard Alan Krieger
Copyright 2004
A high school graduate faced with major life decisions, suddenly finds himself in an inter-dimensional battle against evil
alien forces that want to control time throughout the whole universe..............
On the edge of a windy and raining cliff, a pregnant woman falls off before the police can grab her.
Yet she survives to give birth to Guy. Who we then see as a small child playing in a sandbox in the park while all the other
kids are watching the puppet show Punch and Judy.
We then flash forward in time to see Guy who has just graduated from high school driving his car. He is pondering what
he should do for the rest of his life. Like should he get married to his self-absorbed girlfriend Tiffany.
Jerry, is Guy's best friend, and is having the ultimate graduation party that night. It isn't long before everyone has
arrived and the party is starting to swing.
Soon, problems start to happen through. The over-over-hill rock star Max doesn't want to play, has a drug overdose, and
comes back to life. Guy and Tiffany get into a big fight and break-up shattering his hopes of love. People are getting out
of control and start lighting things on fire, blowing stuff up, along with shooting a bottle rocket at a motorcycle cop that
explodes next to his head.
And then as the band starts playing a blues rocker called, "Misunderstood," a fight breaks out between the Jocks and the
Stoners.
That's when Guy, all confused and upset, slowly walks through the totally insane party toward the cliff. He stares down
at the ocean wondering why all this is happening.
Then someone runs up to the cliff and throws a flaming pin-wheel over the edge that lands in the bushes down below, creating
a huge fire that starts to spread quickly up the cliff.
Guy dives off the cliff into a fireball and does a wild dance kicking up dirt trying to put out the fire.
Someone then runs into Jerry's house and calls the Fire Department.
Overhead a police helicopter has arrived and is shining it's spotlight onto the wild party down below. That's when sirens
are heard as police cars start to arrive.
Meanwhile, at the bottom of the cliff, Guy has finally put out the fire. Exhausted, he slowly climbs back to the top of
the cliff.
As he gets to the top, he pulls his head up to the street level. There, he sees Jerry trying to explain why there is no
fire to the Firemen who are all mad because they think someone has called them as a practical joke. He then notices a line
of riot police marching by.
Now he has to find another way back to the street, so he climbs around the edge of the cliff and ends up in the backyard
of Jerry's neighbor Earl.
Just as Guy starts to stand up, he finds himself staring at the end of a shotgun. Earl thinks Guy is high on drugs from
the party and is trying to sneak into his house to rob him. Guy tries to explain to Earl what happened, but Earl doesn't believe
him and calls the cops.
The cops come and haul Guy away to jail. On the way back to the police station, the policemen decide to pick-up some donuts.
As they munch their donuts down in the parking lot, they see a 1930's car speed through the intersection. Right behind
that car, is another old car shooting a machine gun out the window at the first car.
Dropping their donuts, the police with Guy in the back seat take-off in full pursuit of the two vehicles. They have a
mad chase through the streets of San Pedro as they all head toward the L.A. Harbor. The chase proceeds over the Vincent St.
Thomas Bridge where they are joined by a police helicopter.
It turns out that the first car is being driven by Nicholas Tesla, the famous inventor from the early part of the 20th
century. He is seen working with some dials that control a digital screen map on the dash board.
The second car chasing him is being driven by two Grey Aliens wearing trench coats and big sunglasses. The Aliens are
sitting on several pillows so they can see the road. They want Tesla alive for questioning, so they are trying desperately
only to shoot out his tires.
The helicopter spotlight begins to bother the Aliens a little too much, so they pull out some sort of laser weapon and
shoot the the helicopter down.
They all just barely make it over an opening draw bridge, as they head toward the leaving freight ship called the "Chronos."
As Tesla approaches the ship he pushes a button that makes a small cannon come out of the front of his car. He then shoots
the cannon at the ship, but the ship returns fire shooting his rocket out of the sky.
A very upset Tesla then pushes another button which makes him disappear into another dimension.
The Aliens now start shooting at the police and Guy. Both cars race up a ramp and fly through the air and land onto the
departing ship. All of a sudden a hatch opens and the cops and Guy go down a dark tunnel and end up in some sort of holding
tank.
Soon the ceiling opens as a bright light shines on them. A huge vacuum then sucks them up onto the main deck where they
wait to meet the Alien's leader.
Out of some time portal three beings dressed in some old soldier uniforms appear. One of them is the leader whose name
is Bantar "Father Time." He is angry as he talks about their failed mission to alter the time line of history.
Bantar tells the police and Guy that he has this grand design that will thread time with his evil power throughout the
whole universe. He plans to effect even those places that are known to be timeless. His goal is to be not just the ruler of
the world, but to become the "Time God" of all existence.
He offers the three a simple choice; they can join his evil quest or die. There's only one minor thing, if they are to
work on the ship. They must get castrated and become eunuchs for his harem.
The policemen and Guy pretend to go along with this madman in hopes they will escape somehow along the way to the operating
table.
Before they can do anything, the two cops have been castrated. And now Guy awaits his turn.
As the guard escorts Guy into the operating room, Guy wrestles the gun away from the guard and locks the guard and doctors
in a closet.
Guy gets to the deck of the ship and starts looking everywhere for a lifeboat so he can escape off the ship.
Then out of the distance, he sees a small U.F.O. coming toward him. The small saucer then secretly lands on the ship.
Guy hides around a corner and watches, as the door of the craft slowly opens.
Out pops Tesla, with a homemade bomb that he plans to blow-up the ship with. As he struggles to set up the bomb, Guy starts
to talk to him. Guy recognizes Tesla from history and says so. Tesla is flattered and they become friends.
It isn't long before they are discovered before the bomb could be set. They both jump into Tesla's spaceship and just
barely escape as the Chronos fires it's guns at the flying saucer as it speeds away.
Tesla then explains to Guy that it is very important that Bantar is stopped before the end of the Mayan Calendar in the
year 2012. He goes on to say, if we can all make it to that year, the universe will become more of a timeless state. For this
he states, will be the beginning of a new "Golden Age."
Now they are on their way to the "Pleiadian Alien Connection" who are the good aliens who live on some tiny island in
the Bermuda Triangle who Tesla hopes will help.
They are cruising along just fine, when all of a sudden, Tesla's spaceship starts to disappear bit by bit. Tesla is also
starting to disappear too because of hitting some sort of time warp. Then Tesla and his spaceship totally disappear as Guy
falls into the ocean.
Guy does his best to stay afloat in a very stormy sea. Soon he notices that many sharks are starting to surround him.
Just before he is about to be eaten alive, mermaids rescue him and pull him to the shore of an island. As he awakes up,
he finds two beach dudes standing over him sipping drinks with little umbrellas sticking out of them. It turns out that these
dudes are the Pleiadians that Tesla was trying to get help from.
They take Guy to their beach hut where Guy tells them the whole wild story that has happened so far. Guy then explains
to them that the universe needs their help to stop evil Bantar before it's too late.
The Pleiadians say they can't get involved, for they are mere monitors of this planet's evolution, and do not want to
alter things. But Guy tries to convince them that if Bantar his way, there will be no more pockets of timelessness in the
universe, including timeless sex. When hearing this thought, the Pleaiadians draw the line, and say that they will help out
after all.
Then Tesla finally lands in his new spaceship on the island, and they all start making plans to stop Bantar.
But to do this, they need Guy to go back to his hometown and find his true love from childhood Angela. It is their special
love from this "Time Reality" that will be the secret weapon that will help generate enough energy to break-up Bantar's evil
plans.
Tesla gives Guy a ride back home to his hometown, but Guy soon finds out that Angela has become a runaway in Hollywood
heartbroken after the disappearance of Guy on the night of the party and fire.
She now is about to be deceived into becoming a prostitute by a sleazy pimp called "Jack Daddy."
Guy comes to rescue her with the help of a New Age Guru called, "the Swami" who just happens to be driving his limo to
Vegas.
So Guy and Angela then decide to go to Vegas with the Guru to hide from Jack Daddy for awhile.
The two of them end-up getting married and are watching the pirate show at the Mirage as part of their honeymoon.
Guy begins to tell Angela how they have been chosen with their special love to help save the universe from the evil time
controller Bantar.
Suddenly Pirates fly out of the show on swinging ropes grabbing Angela, but failing to get Guy. The crowd goes wild thinking
it's all apart of the show. The Space Pirates then escape with Angela into a waiting spaceship that then flies away.
Meanwhile, back at the island, Tesla and the Pleiadians finally pick-up the remote signal from Guy to come get Angela
and him.
Then the Pleiadians and Tesla fly to Vegas in the Pleiadian Mothership and meet Guy in a tiny bar where he explains to
them that Bantar and friends have captured Angela.
In an underground base under Vegas Bantar questions Angela about the plot to foil his plans of time domination. He also
tells her of his successful trips back in time, and that nothing will stop him now.
High above the city in the Pleiadian spaceship, Guy is hooked up to the "Love Locator" machine that soon locates Angela
at the underground base.
Guy, the Pleiadians and Tesla proceed to rescue Angela form Bantar who then escapes through some time portal.
Our heroes begin to chase Bantar through various time periods. They all end up fighting a final big battle on the Chronos
where our heroes finally defeat and catch Bantar.
Now Tesla is about to kill Bantar for all the troubles he has created. But the Pleiadians plead with Tesla to spare Bantar's
life. So Tesla, reluctantly does.
It turns out, that the Pleiadians would love to put Bantar in their "Zoo of Bad Examples." So they shrink Bantar and put
him in a tiny bottle for the journey back to their planet.
All is well as the Pleaiadians give Guy and Angela a lift back to their hometown.
It's now a few years into the future, and Guy and Angela don't have a clue as to what they will tell everyone for their
missing time.
So the Pleiadians pull out a bag of precious gem stones and say, "Here!...have some rock samples." They then go on to
say, "You can tell everyone that you were treasure hunting and you got lucky."
Guy and Angela say good-bye to the Pleaiadians and Tesla, who has decided to go back to the Pleaiadian's home planet of
ShaWhoLa for a long needed vacation.
Now Guy and Angela, are seen walking down the street greeting different friends who are happy to see them again.
They walk into the distance as the sun sets. Feeling good, not only about their future, but for the future of the entire
universe.
For now...once again...."Freedom Rules!"
