An eclectic group of mercenaries enters North Korea to use their unique skills to rescue their friend's wife and baby before they are caught and executed as the group tweaks the tail feathers of Kim Jong-un, the North Korean Army Air Force and as they wreak havoc across Kim Jong-un's Socialist paradise on Earth..

SYNOPSIS:

This screenplay and the characters within are fictional, or are they?

CHARLES WINCHELL is a tall middle-aged pipe-smoking, cowboy boot, hat and buckle-wearing former intelligence agent from Texas, who thinks of himself as a first rate psychic. He firmly believes in the old saying that age and treachery will always overcome youth and skill!

His partner is DWIGHT DAVID BRACKENTHWAITE, formerly of Her Majesty’s Secret Service who loves more than anything to tweak the tail feathers of any two-bit sadistic dictator anywhere in the world. Charles and Dwight promise to take their group of skilled adventurers to secretly enter North Korea and rescue from certain execution the wife and baby of their friend, SEO MYUNG-KI.

The group has carried out dangerous missions in the past and they are fully prepared to die, if necessary, to follow Charles and Dwight to Hell and back. It consists of BENJAMIN KITTSMILLER, a first rate stunt pilot and, at the age of 62, the oldest of the group who reminisces about the glory days of running moonshine for his Grand-pappy through the hills of eastern Kentucky. Ben is a wisecracking son of the hills who isn’t bothered by rules and who is a crack stunt pilot and mechanic. He dreams of re-living those days.

KIM CHIN HO, at 22, is still a child in the eyes of the others, but he can disassemble and re-assemble an aircraft while blindfolded, a talent that will be vital to the mission ahead. YANG “WEN” WEN, is an assassin who lost an eye in a terrorist attack in Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region in western China. He was a trained sniper and counter terrorism specialist in the People's Liberation Army Special Operations Forces, but under Charles’ tutelage, he is one of the world’s top snipers and assassins.

Wen’s partner is a beautiful but deadly Chinese woman, FANRONG “RONG” LUO, from Shenyang who shows no mercy towards her adversaries. She is an efficient killer who sometimes likes to make her enemies suffer a little before she kills them.

Making cameo appearances are cigar-puffing, Miss Kitty pajama- wearing KIM JONG-UN (31) Supreme Leader of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea and his wife, twenty-nine year old RI SOL-JU.

Charles and his men learn that they are being watched by North Korean agents who are quickly dispatched by the Chinese assassins, but the chase is on when they use a KFC semi to carry four specially-modified powered Quicksilver gliders to accomplish the virtually impossible rescue.

There appears to be a mole in the organization back in Seoul as they are chased by North Korean agents right from the very beginning, but Dwight uses a cache of Chinese Rocket Propelled Grenades (the good ones, Dwight remarks) to end the chase in a fiery explosion of their Mercedes Benz, dispatching the agents to the great Socialist paradise in the sky.

As they finish souping up the aircraft in an abandoned hanger from the Korean War era (they have four Quicksilver Sport 2S aircraft, two for the actual rescue and two others as heavily armed decoys, all with larger engines and six-blade propellers, among other “improvements”), they are raided by more North Korean agents culminating in a raging gun battle in the hangar.

The group flies on modified training ultralights from a secret site in South Korea, killing North Korean agents along the way, to an abandoned farmhouse north of the border where Seo Myung-Ki’s wife and baby are hiding.

The flight into North Korea is executed according to plan, but then things begin to go wrong as truckloads of North Korean soldiers race to the scene of the pick up. The pick up is made and Charles and Chin Ho fly to the south towards freedom while Ben and Dwight create a diversion with their aircraft which works well until a rifle shot brings down Ben’s aircraft – directly into one of North Korea’s main aviation fuel depots!

Dwight rescues Ben and now they share one aircraft as they race to the south. They spot a lone truck on the highway below them that they determine is a top secret movement of a North Korean ICBM that appears to be armed with a nuclear warhead. Ben remarks that they must leave a calling card for Kim Jong-un (it’s the neighborly thing to do) and he doesn't care that what he plans to do will create an international incident. He says the United Nations can go to Hell if they don’t have the gonads to deal with North Korea and he’s going to do what they should be doing. Using their powered ultralight as a dive bomber, Ben drops a bomb on the carrier which explodes in a fiery flume of flames and smoke while the missile bounces end over end down the highway until it’s totally destroyed.

Satisfied that they have tweaked the Great Leader’s tail feathers, Ben and Dwight race at full speed back to 8,000 feet and try to catch Charles and Chin Ho before they leave North Korean airspace. Suddenly two Shenyang J-5 jets of the Korean People’s Army Air Force roar past them and makes several passes at the tiny aircraft but only damages it. Dwight hands Ben a hammer, as he asks him if he’s ever played American football. Ben says yes, but not since high school, and throws the hammer in a “hail Mary” pass directly into the air intake on one of the jets, bringing it down in flames. They continue to the rendezvous point.

During all this, two more North Korean agents are found at the rendezvous site, but they too are soon dispatched by the Chinese assassins.

The story continues with alternating fear and hope as the remaining Shenyang jet continues to make passes at the little aircraft, until finally the pilot gives and returns to Pyongyang.

After a short reunion back at the hangar they all pile into their vehicles and head in a convoy back to Seoul where they will be safe. The men realize that their efforts will certainly not make the six o’clock news and may never be known outside of their little circle, but they are proud of what they managed to do that all the power of the United Nations or its member nations could not or would not do.
