You got it—this is Jason Statham reimagined at maximum throttle.
A globe-trotting, adrenaline-soaked, high-stakes action film that blends everything we love about his best roles—The Transporter, The Mechanic, Wrath of Man, Safe, and Parker—but levels it up with a fresh concept:
He’s not driving cars anymore. He’s piloting ghosts.
PROJECT BLUEPRINT: “BLACK ROTOR”
“You don’t outrun him. You don’t outgun him. And now? You don’t even touch the ground.”
1. GENRE & TONE
• Action-thriller
• Stylish, gritty, relentless
• Transporter × Mission: Impossible × Extraction
• Practical stunts, airborne fights, underground syndicates, revenge with discipline
2. LOG LINE
A retired ex-special forces pilot turned covert transporter-for-hire must protect an encrypted human asset across Europe, Asia, and the U.S.—but this time, the payload isn’t cargo… it’s a woman carrying the kill codes to the deadliest AI weapons program ever built.
3. MAIN CHARACTER
Name: Connor Rourke
• Ex-military helicopter pilot
• Former elite black ops operator
• Now flies missions “off-book” for any government who can pay and shut up
• Cold on the surface, but lives by an iron personal code
• Quiet. Disciplined. Unstoppable in a fight.
• Haunted by a failed mission that cost his crew their lives
• Refuses to work with AIs or drones—only flies manual
His motto: “Machines fail. I don’t.”
4. ACT ONE: SETUP
• Rourke lives in Montenegro, off-grid, doing occasional “gray market” extractions
• A contact from his past (French intelligence) brings a job:
• Transport a woman from a high-rise in Istanbul to an airfield in Hong Kong.
• She can’t go commercial. She’s being hunted.
• Rourke must fly her the whole way himself in a stolen stealth chopper.
• No backup. No autopilot. No questions.
• The woman?
Dr. Hana Sato, a robotics engineer and whistleblower
• She has the kill codes to an autonomous AI military fleet
• Every major nation wants her dead before she leaks them
• She doesn’t trust anyone—but Rourke might be her only shot
5. ACT TWO: THE RIDE BEGINS
First Route: Istanbul to Greece
• Escape through rooftop ambush with elite mercenaries

• Rourke refuels in Crete, betrayed by a supposed ally
• Epic hand-to-hand fight in a remote airfield hangar
• Chopper sabotaged—Rourke has to repair it mid-flight
• Hana confesses she used to design AI-controlled assassins
• She’s trying to shut it down before it spreads
Third Route: Bangkok to Nevada

• Mid-air zero-gravity hand-to-hand brawl in the cargo bay
• Rourke flies manually while fighting two enemies at once
6. ACT THREE: THE TRUTH + FINAL SHOWDOWN
• They land in the Nevada desert near an abandoned military testing site
• Turns out Hana’s old partner—the one who betrayed her—is alive and controls the AI fleet
• He wants the codes to go live globally
• Final 1v1 showdown in a collapsed drone factory, where Rourke fights hand-to-hand against a cybernetic super-commander
“You’re obsolete, Rourke.”
“I’ve always preferred manual.” — and he pulls a blade.
• Hana hacks the AI kill switch in real-time while Rourke keeps the enemy occupied
• As the AI network crashes, the rogue drones fall from the sky all over the world
7. ENDING
• Rourke disappears into the wind again—this time in a black civilian helicopter, one seat open
• Hana starts a new foundation: teaching children to build AIs that save lives, not take them
• A voiceover:
“They called me a transporter. But I don’t move packages. I move people. To the other side of hell—safely.”
