This document outlines initial ideas for a generic thriller movie, including a narrative structure involving something happening that leads to action and a fight scene to figure out part of the plot, with the bad guys becoming good guys but everything ending badly with deaths. A potential plot involves a phone call with an unknown voice leading to a loved one's kidnapping, instructions to get them back, and the lover turning out to be the killer with the kidnapper being an ex-lover and then a happy ending, though the outline calls this plot horrible and corny. It also discusses uncertainty around the location, potential props like weapons and costumes, sound elements like music and effects, and initial characters.
