Homework: Film Pitch

My film pitch:

(Plot)

Darren and his father had been going on very well with each other when one day Darren's father suddenly became rebellious and started to destroy things in the home. Darren's mother made him get out of the house, but Darren was against it so he chased after him, but was unable to catch up to him. That was all 5 years ago.
The present time is 2010. Darren, his mother Natalie, and sister Claire all live in a detached home in London. Darren's father has been missing since 2001, with no clues of where he went.

One day Darren goes to school and arrives in front of the school gates when mysterious black-suited men come out of a black coloured BMW M3 E92 and abduct Darren without any notice. Darren then struggles to break free but is in turn drugged and put to sleep whilst the car goes to the HQ of their base, SOA (Secret Operation Agency). Darren then wakes up in a brightly lit room, then one of the black-suited men comes in and tells Darren to get changed into a black-suit (all his other clothes has been burned). The black-suited man, later to be known as (Code-Name) Neil, explains the situation to him; the truth is that Darren's father is in Russia and is building a  space satellite which has a laser on it, and he plans to completely exterminate a certain location; London. The reason behind this plan is unknown; but in order for Darren to save his family and friends, he must set on a journey with his comrades in SOA, overcome numerous obstacles and ultimately stop his father from firing the giant laser on board the space satellite and in the end kill him. Darren must take up weapons and face all kinds of enemies, travel to places he's never been to on high-tech speed cars and travel in space on a mission that will end in misery either way. If he fails, friends and family will be gone. If he succeeds, his father will be gone.....
