Absolutely — here’s a complete blueprint for a full-throttle, globe-trotting ensemble action franchise in the spirit of Fast & Furious, The Italian Job, Bad Boys, and Ocean’s Eleven. It’s packed with cars, choppers, planes, outlaw codes, high-stakes heists, found family, and cinematic set pieces meant to turn heads and break box office.
FRANCHISE TITLE: “FULL THROTTLE”
Tagline (Film 1):
“You can outrun the law. You can’t outrun family.”
GENRE:
High-octane action / outlaw heist thriller
Tone: Big, bold, and emotional — equal parts kinetic spectacle and heart
Rating: PG-13 or R depending on the edge and language
FRANCHISE DNA:
• Fast & Furious — Found family, over-the-top action, loyalty vs law
• Ocean’s Eleven — Smart ensemble dynamics, precision missions
• Mission: Impossible — Globetrotting tech-meets-tactical set pieces
• The A-Team — Ragtag heroes with custom rides and heart
• Bad Boys — Banter, chemistry, swagger, ride-or-die energy
FRANCHISE CORE CONCEPT:
A rogue crew of ex-smugglers, racers, pilots, and thieves were once the best in the black market game — until the job went sideways and split the family. Years later, when one of their own is framed for a global weapons heist, the crew must reunite to clear their name, break into the world’s most secure transport network… and outrun everyone from Interpol to warlords.
They live by one rule: “No man left behind. No throttle untapped.”
FILM 1 TITLE: “FULL THROTTLE: HARDLINE”
PLOT SYNOPSIS:
When Domino Cruz, an underground stunt driver turned off-grid mechanic, learns her younger brother has been framed for a military rail heist in Morocco, she pulls the old crew back together for one last ride — only to discover the train was carrying black market war tech tied to their darkest secret.
From high-speed chases across Moroccan dunes to aerial extractions in the Swiss Alps, they’ll hijack jets, drag race fighter drones, and take on a private army… all while figuring out who betrayed them a decade ago.
MAIN CREW (Ensemble Cast):
Domino Cruz (Lead)
Ex-rally driver and tactician. Quietly fierce. Think Letty Ortiz meets Furiosa. Drives like she’s dancing with death.
Vehicle of Choice: Custom twin-turbo widebody Charger with active armor.
Leo “Wrench” Santoro
Master mechanic and engineer. Builds rides that defy physics. Greasy hands, golden heart, junkyard philosopher.
Vehicle of Choice: Monster truck-turned-mobile command center.
Rafe Maddox
Former Navy pilot turned outlaw smuggler. Cocky, charming, always in the air.
Vehicle of Choice: Jet-black stealth-modified chopper with fold-out guns and grapples.
Kaori Tanaka
Tech ops, master hacker, drone warfare specialist. Always ten steps ahead. Sharp tongue, sharper instincts.
Vehicle of Choice: Electric drift car rigged with auto-turrets and EMP cannon.
“Diesel” Duvall
Heavy weapons, ex-enforcer, ex-con. Big guy. Bigger heart. Brings the pain and the wisdom.
Vehicle of Choice: Custom dune runner with armor plating and a minigun.
CAMEOS / EXTENDED CAST:
• Eva Mendes-style Interpol agent — pursues them but secretly respects them.
• Ludacris-type garage genius — running chop shops across continents.
• Surprise villain cameo — a former ally turned kingpin, setting up the sequel.
• OG mentor/ghost from the past — appears in flashbacks or hidden bunker recordings.
KEY LOCATIONS (GLOBAL SCALE):
• Tangier, Morocco — desert train heist on a moving bullet-freight hybrid
• Dubai — rooftop race in supercars on a skyline connected by cranes
• Swiss Alps — stealth infiltration of a mountaintop air base via wingsuit
• Thailand — jungle riverboat chase meets floating market gunfight
• Cuba — classic car showdown with a crew of old-school racers
SIGNATURE SET PIECES:
• The Desert Train Takedown — high-speed assault on a bullet-train carrying illegal weapons; includes dune jumps and cars magnetically sticking to the side of the train.
• Zero-G Jet Heist — infiltrating a cargo plane in midair during a fake weightlessness drill.
• Jungle Bridge Drop — collapsing bridge escape with nitrous boost and a drifting tank.
• Copter vs. Drone Dogfight — Rafe takes on a swarm of AI-controlled fighter drones in his chopper, while the crew steals a quantum core.
THEMES:
• Family you choose vs. family you lose
• Trust earned through fire
• Outlaws with codes are still better than lawmen with none
• Speed as freedom
• Machines are cool — but heart is the engine
STYLE & SOUND:
• Visuals: Gritty but glossy — twilight shots, heat shimmer, nitrous glare.
• Editing: Practical stunts, kinetic, with wide shots to show scale.
• Soundtrack: Trap-laced reggaeton, synth hip-hop, hard rock — custom tracks per locale.
Think Travis Scott + Skrillex + Bad Bunny + Zimmer percussion.
POTENTIAL SEQUELS:
FULL THROTTLE: SKYBOUND
The crew must stop a data-heist mid-flight involving three hijacked aircraft across Europe. Midair parachute car drop. Undercover mission with former enemy turned reluctant ally.
FULL THROTTLE: NIGHTLINE
Entire story takes place over one insane night in Tokyo. A hit is placed on the crew. Neon chases, Yakuza-style gangs, blackout EMP zones. Midnight club racing meets survival thriller.
FULL THROTTLE: WORLD BURN
A rogue AI is controlling global traffic infrastructure — cars, planes, even elevators. The crew must break into the most secure mobility grid in the world to shut it down… from inside a moving city.
