Synopsis/Details
Pitch: THE RIB is a Thriller about a Brit drug smuggler in the clutches of powerful drug lords and corrupt police. He avenges the death of his Arab friend and escapes by setting up his gangland and police enemies against each other.
• Original, fast-paced high seas drug smuggling adventure.
• This is my true story of drug smuggling on the high seas between North Africa and Europe.
• Revealing the inherent dangers of nature (the sea); the forces of evil (drug barons and corrupt police, army and navy officials); with the thrills, suspense and adventure of the mariner; the high speed RIB (Rigid Inflatable Boat) jockey working alone in the night smuggling tonnes of hashish (cannabis resin) worth millions of pounds.
• A revelation of how it is done and the thrill of meeting real characters in a world people know nothing about.
• An authentic international adventure story in exotic places that puts you in situations you cannot imagine, which provide the screenplay with a sense of authorship and originality
I am working on a new treatment for this work.
