F.B. EYEGLASSES

F.B. EYEGLASSES
By Tom Stohlgren

GENRE: Action, Comedy
LOGLINE: When two FBI agent trainees are fitted with cochlear implants linked via high-tech eyeglasses to supercomputers, they become super-skilled operatives, but they also become targets of two foreign terrorists they are sent to eliminate in a mountain town. 

SYNOPSIS:

As political favors, two underachieving FBI agent trainees, beautiful MEGAN Foster (22) and handsome African American TERRELL Jackson (22), are recruited by Special Agent Anika “DOC” Sharma (30s) and Miguel “CHEZ” Sanchez (25) into a top-secret program. The trainees are fitted with cochlear implants linked via high-tech eyeglasses to supercomputers to become super-smart and highly skilled operatives. Training with and without the special glasses illustrates the amazing effectiveness of the glasses. However, if the glasses are removed or used with alcohol, or when satellite reception is poor, the trainees immediately regress to their comical, dim-witted selves.

Megan and Terrell are thrust into action posing as newlyweds in a small mountain town where they must locate and eliminate two foreign terrorists, gorgeous OLGA (25), a waitress at the diner, and devastatingly handsome DIMITRI (25), a bartender. In their first visits to the diner and bar, Megan and Terrell inadvertently remove their special glasses. Their cover as newlyweds is immediately blown because Terrell hits on Olga and Megan hits on Dimitri. The trainees are sitting ducks in their rustic cabin where a small bomb explodes in their mattress, and later, sniper bullets penetrate their walls.

After an assassin’s arrow narrowly misses Olga at the diner, the trainees chase an ATV deep into the forest where their glasses fail again. The trainees narrowly escape, rescued by Maxine “MAX” Li (30s), a butch Asian logger, who also has a thing for Olga. The trainees require assistance from Doc and Chez to uncover an old trailer that is being used to make a bomb disguised as an air fryer. In the bar that night, Olga confesses to Terrell that she resigned as a terrorist, so Dimitri is out to kill her too. A fight breaks out on Ladies Night at the bar allowing Dimitri, disguised as a Biker, to escape into the forest, and Olga to escape to Max’s house. The chases are on!

The trainees forego their special glasses yet manage to capture Dimitri after a fierce gunfight. Terrell and Megan rely on their questionable instincts. However, Olga eludes capture, and a terrorist bombing is predicted at the diner where the entire town is expected for Spam Platter Night. Olga is cleverly disguised as a bitter elderly waitress anxious to kill everyone with the air fryer bomb. However, the Director of the FBI visits Doc and Chez at the diner to take credit for capturing Dimitri and all hell breaks loose as the bomb starts ticking and an assassin tries to kill Dimitri. In the end, Olga is captured in a chaotic showdown, and Megan and Terrell get the bad guys, find love, and get promoted.

Kind of a chunky Logline.

My take:

Two FBI trainees become super-skilled operatives when they are fitted with super-computer-linked cochlear implants and targeted by the terrorists they've been sent to eliminate in a mountain town.

Thanks B.A., I'll try to take another stab at it. My "small" focus group liked the original, but I'll run yours past them. I need all the help I can get -- and this community has helped me before, so thanks for your effort. Anyone else want to chime in? I'd appreciate it!
