CHECKMATE (A Screenplay)

FOUR PEOPLE WILL DO ANYTHING FOR A BAG WORTH 200 MILLION DOLLARSThe Crown Jewels are stolen from the Tower of London by US Navy Intelligence officer and master thief John Thaddeus. Working for notorious crime boss, Artimis Cote, Thaddeus is instructed to smuggle the jewels back to New York where they’ll be fenced. Thaddeus unobtrusively boards the USS Raven with the jewels concealed in a Samsonite case. Unfortunately, Thaddeus’ simple plan is blown to smithereens when the Raven collides with a minesweeper off of Greenland. He’s forced to abandon ship with the jewels and survive at sea. After being rescued by a Canadian fishing boat, Thaddeus kills the crew and makes his way to Canada and back into the United States. Veteran Scotland Yard detective Raleigh Macleod and rookie FBI agent Kelly Stokes begin a worldwide manhunt to find the jewels and bring Thaddeus and Cote to justice. Their unrelenting pursuit takes them across the globe in a dangerous game of cat and mouse.EXT. LOND..
