Logline
A dying Navy SEAL veteran, a Croatian psyops general, a visionary African Union leader, and a courageous doctor unite to stop a shadow war between corrupt corporate cartels and an emerging African digital nation—where the final battlefield is not just in the jungle, but in the human mind.
Tone & Style
Think Black Hawk Down meets Syriana meets The Constant Gardener, with a sharper focus on psychological warfare, faith in the digital age, and Africa as the geopolitical center of the 21st century. Cinematography is raw and kinetic in the field, sleek and tense in the digital/cyber war sequences, and luminous in spiritual moments.
Setting
- Primary Location: East and Central Africa, from Nairobi’s tech hubs to the jungles of the Congo Basin.
- Secondary Location: Croatian military intelligence command centers and secret NATO listening posts.
- Atmosphere: Sweltering heat, thick foliage, and bustling cities contrasted with cold, fluorescent-lit intelligence rooms.
Act I — The New Front Line
- Years after the first film, Africa is undergoing a renaissance under BKenyan, a charismatic leader of the African Union. His “One Laptop Per Family” initiative—co-led with Dr. Lena Fiore Kendricks (Monica Bellucci)—seeks to connect every home to a secure, open-source intranet capable of bypassing Western banking control.
- The plan alarms old colonial interests, multinational corporations, and shadow arms dealers who profit from instability.
- Lt. A.K. Waters (Bruce Willis), now wheelchair-bound and suffering from a degenerative disease contracted on a mission in the Congo, learns that the same warlords he once fought are being bankrolled by foreign intelligence agencies.
- The African Union requests help from General Marko “The Ghost” Jukic (Joseph C. Jukic), a legendary Croatian psyops master who dismantled Balkan warlord networks in the 90s by turning their own propaganda against them.
Act II — The Shadow War
- Jukic arrives in Nairobi under the guise of a NATO “strategic advisor,” but his true mission is to root out the invisible enemies: foreign psyops teams embedded in humanitarian NGOs, mercenary tech firms, and even inside African government ministries.
- He discovers a covert plan—Operation Eclipse—that uses satellite-based internet to deliver not knowledge, but deepfake propaganda, designed to incite tribal conflict and undermine BKenyan’s unity movement.
- Dr. Fiore realizes that her “One Laptop” network has been infiltrated and repurposed for a digital coup.
- Jukic employs advanced counter-psyops: holographic sermons, counter-memes, and AI-driven myth-making to reframe the narrative as a digital prophecy of the Second Coming—turning the enemy’s own channels into a message of hope and unity.
- Waters, despite his condition, becomes Jukic’s field liaison, coordinating small teams of loyalists and former SEALs to secure key data centers and neutralize mercenary teams on the ground.
Act III — The Battle for the Mind
- The climax is not a firefight, but a dual assault:
- Physical: BKenyan leads a convoy through hostile jungle territory to reach the AU’s primary broadcast station before the enemy does.
- Digital: Jukic and Fiore, inside a fortified Nairobi tech hub, battle a swarm of enemy hackers in a cinematic visual war of code—seen as a surreal, almost Inception-like landscape of collapsing firewalls, disintegrating lies, and prophetic imagery flooding the network.
- In the final broadcast, BKenyan delivers a speech—co-written by Jukic—that unites millions under the vision of an Africa-led peace economy, free from usury and foreign exploitation. The laptops, now cleansed of malicious code, display a synchronized symbol: a rising sun over the African continent.
- Waters dies quietly, watching the broadcast from a field hospital, knowing his last mission was his most important.
Themes
