About This Script
Damian and Gilda were once the most capable agents in the CIA — dirt-bike chases through forests, matching heart tattoos, the whole mythology. Thirty years later they’re retired in Canmore, Alberta, riding mountain bikes through Banff and arguing about bandwidth. When Damian notices the Airbnb next door consuming suspiciously encrypted data streams, Gilda tells him to leave it alone. He can’t. She knows he can’t. They’ve done this before.
Inside the Airbnb: surveillance equipment, encrypted communications, and detailed blueprints of the G7 summit venue at Kananaskis. North Korean, Chinese, and Russian agents. A plot to assassinate the world’s most powerful leaders — forty minutes from their front door. The main road east is closed by a rockslide. They improvise. They catch the last gondola up Sulphur Mountain, fight an enemy agent in a cable car over a thousand-foot drop, strap on paragliders, and jump off the mountain toward Kananaskis. Gilda is terrified of heights. She jumps anyway.
G7 is a full-throttle action comedy about two people who are absolutely too old for this and completely unwilling to admit it. The In-Laws meets True Lies — set against the most spectacular scenery in North America, with a moose, a bear, and a detonator.
The Story
The Characters
Theme
“We’ve still got it.” — and sometimes that’s enough.
Why It Sells
- Older-protagonist action comedy is a proven commercial lane — Red, The In-Laws, True Lies
- The Canadian Rockies / Banff / Kananaskis setting is visually spectacular and underused in Hollywood
- G7 summit = built-in topical hook and international marketing appeal
- Female co-lead with equal agency — Gilda is the closer, not the sidekick
