Rating: R (language, action violence, adult humor)
Lead Characters:
1. AGENT JACK TRAVERS (USA – FBI, 50s)
• Grizzled, sarcastic, whiskey-and-bullets energy
• Former war hero turned field agent — brilliant instincts, zero tact
• Hates red tape, foreign cities, and espresso
• Doesn’t believe in therapy, backup plans, or putting the safety on
“I solve problems the old-fashioned way. Badly and loudly.”
2. COMMANDANT ASTRID VALE (France – Interpol, 30s)
• Fluent in five languages, precision-trained in surveillance and psychological profiling
• Stylish, sharp, cold under pressure — trained by the European elite

“Your method is messy. Mine just works.”
TRILOGY OVERVIEW:
FILM 1 — INTERPOLAR
Subtitle: “Borderline Reckless”
Plot:
A rogue ex-CIA operative is smuggling next-gen weapons through diplomatic channels. Astrid is assigned to retrieve him in the U.S. But thanks to bureaucratic chaos and a botched arrest, she’s forced to partner with Jack — the last agent to ever work with the fugitive. They must navigate customs, corruption, and each other to stop an arms deal that could start a war.
Set Pieces:
• Baggage cart chase through JFK
• Escape from a locked-down consulate gala in Rome
• Interrogation gone wrong in a Turkish bath
• Shootout in a Swiss bank vault
Core Dynamic:
Astrid follows the rules. Jack breaks them.
Neither trusts the other — until they’re forced to.
Ending:
They barely save the day — but are now permanently reassigned to the new Cross-Border Joint Task Force: codename INTERPOLAR.
FILM 2 — INTERPOLAR: CODE RED
Subtitle: “Your Country, Your Rules, My Gun.”
Plot:
When a cyber-terrorist releases deepfake videos framing world leaders for war crimes, Jack and Astrid must chase him across Europe and Asia while staying ahead of both the CIA and Interpol, who now believe they’re behind the attacks.
Set Pieces:
• Undercover mission at a tech mogul’s summit in Singapore
• High-speed train battle through the Alps
• Covert drone infiltration of a desert compound
• Massive car chase through rain-slicked streets of Berlin
Emotional Arc:
Astrid’s secret past with a mole in Interpol resurfaces. Jack’s loyalty to her is tested.
Their partnership reaches a breaking point — or a breakthrough.
Ending:
The villain gets away — but not before planting the seeds of something bigger: a worldwide data-collapse called The Black Signal. And only one person might know how to stop it — Jack’s estranged daughter.
FILM 3 — INTERPOLAR: END OF FILE
Subtitle: “This time, they’re in the system.”
Plot:
The world is crashing — power grids down, planes grounded, identities erased. Astrid and Jack are now fugitives with no backup, no passports, and no clue who to trust. Their only option? Team up with ghosts from their pasts and hack the system from the inside — before global intelligence collapses into chaos.
Set Pieces:
• Covert border-crossing on horseback in Central Asia
• Undercover infiltration of an abandoned Soviet satellite array
• Interpol HQ siege
• Final rooftop standoff in New York during a citywide blackout
Themes:
• Trust, betrayal, and chosen family
• Old ways vs. new threats
• Redemption at the edge of collapse
Finale:
Jack sacrifices his badge to save Astrid’s life.
Astrid finally bends the rules to save the world.
They go out not as agents — but as legends.
Post-Credit Scene:
A message pings Astrid’s encrypted line: “Need two operators. Global reach. No borders.”
Recurring Elements:
• Odd-couple comedy:
Jack drinks bourbon, Astrid drinks sparkling water.
He punches suspects, she profiles them.
He runs through doors. She picks the lock.
• Global cameos & settings:
• Agents from Kenya, Brazil, South Korea, and Italy
• Exotic cities and chaotic airports
• Terrible disguises, amazing one-liners
• Running Gags:
• Jack loses every passport.
• Astrid has one pair of indestructible heels.
• Interpol keeps “accidentally” sending them on suicide missions.
Franchise Expansion Potential:
• Prequel Series: “Vale: Paris Protocol” — Astrid’s early years
• Spin-Off Film: “INTERPOLAR: Moscow Nights” — featuring two new agents
• Streaming Mini-Series: “Cross-Border: The Cases Between”
• Game: INTERPOLAR: Global Extraction — choose-your-path action RPG
Marketing Hooks:
• Split-screen trailers showing both agents’ POVs
• Poster tagline: “They don’t speak the same language. But they’ll take you down in any one.”
• Merch: passport wallets, Jack’s flask, Astrid’s earbud translator
• TikTok/YouTube promos spoofing customs interrogations, polyglot arguments, and chase choreography
