Logline: A rookie soldier deployed to a hostile planet is shot down and injured, and must use all of her strength, wits, and willpower in order to
complete her mission and get out alive.
[ATLAS]
Lead Female (30 - 50)
A military intelligence officer who has spent years pursuing intergalactic terrorist Harlan who murdered her family during an attack on her agency's headquarters on Earth. Now she's in
space to oversee a mission to capture Harlan at his remote planet hideout. Things go south quickly when their ship is struck by missiles and she's forced to don an AI driven mechanical armored suit and evacuate with the soldiers. All are killed in an
aerial battle on the way down except for her and she is left stranded on the surface, surrounded by hostiles, with little knowledge of how the AI suit works. She gets acquainted with the suit, and it helps her out and gets her headed for an escape
pod planted some distance away, with limited time left before the suit fails. She battles technologically augmented enemy soldiers and the hostile environment and soon acquires a location for Harlan, so she detours to try and fulfill the mission
and capture him, despite being injured. He captures her instead and she manages to get free with help from the suit and thwart a planned attack on Earth. She reaches the escape pod running on fumes and is met by Harlan and fights him to the death. She is forced to abandon the suit despite a strong bond
formed between her and it, and gets away in the nick of time. She decides to join the military afterwards as a soldier and gets a new suit that she relates to the same as the old one, as she prepares to take on the next battle, a changed woman.
In Discussions Sandra Bullock
[HARLAN PIERCE]
Supporting Male (40 - 50)
An intergalactic terrorist who is a proponent of cyber augmentation of humans with technology. He lost his own wife during a government ordered "recall" that robbed her body of lifesaving modifications, and he's since waged war on Earth
over it. He leads a band of some 100 augmented beings, selling them on the idea they are like his family, when really he's only about revenge. He has Atlas captured and recognizes her from the facility he once attacked; he plans to harvest her brain for
intel about government defenses. When she escapes and thwarts his latest attack, he pursues her to an escape pod and fights her to the death
[SMITH]
Supporting Male
Voice-Over only. The artificially intelligent battle suit Atlas wears, which guides her along her journey and becomes her de facto close friend along the way despite being a piece of machinery. A personality in his own right.
[COLE]
Cameo Male (30 - 40)
A tough, terbacky chewin' ranger who wears a dirty cowboy hat. He is a natural leader among the rangers we meet prior to engagement. Unfortunately that's not enough to save him from being killed during the initial battle along with all the others.

[HOLLOWAY]
Cameo Male (40 - 50)
The Captain of the Ranger force tasked with executing the mission to land on the alien planet and capture Harlan.

shot and killed by attacking drones.
