"Capricorn One" How to develop an original idea into a movie?

A grand conspiracy begins

At the moment the Mars exploration manned spacecraft Capricorn One is about to launch, the hatch of the command module located at the tip of the large rocket is suddenly opened from outside. The three crew members are taken out at the direction of a strange man, but the rocket is launched without anyone in attendance, and the vice president and other members of the gallery rejoice at the success of the launch. This is where the big conspiracy begins.

The astronauts were taken to a closed air base. The huge warehouse has a Mars set, a lander, and carefully placed lighting, making it look like a movie set. The landing will be broadcast from here, which is also equipped with a sub-control room, and the moment the astronauts touch down on the Martian surface, the video will be shot in slow motion to account for gravity.

This is the beginning of a deception against all humanity carried out only by the central government and upper echelons of NASA, which neither the President nor most of NASA's employees are aware of. If the launch is postponed due to a problem with Capricorn One's life support system, there is a possibility that manned Mars exploration will be canceled due to the president's reluctance to promote space exploration, so they had to do something on an ad hoc basis. The reason is revealed, but in the end, this large-scale plot is a complete success, and the rest is where the unmanned command module enters the atmosphere and lands in the ocean, where the astronauts board and make it appear as if it is returning home. progressing smoothly until However, upon entering the atmosphere, the outer shield of the command module was peeled off, and the command module disappeared due to high heat. In other words, all the crew members died. Due to this unexpected trouble, the existence of the astronauts must be erased.

This is the first half. What follows is an escape drama in which an astronaut is chased by an organization and attempts to escape. Compared to the brilliant idea of ​​``The Greatest Shenanigans in History,'' it may seem like a modest development, but it can be said that what makes this work a masterpiece is this second half.
