Huh. I think there might be fuel for a John Carpenter movie from this.
In a town where emergency services have collapsed, ravenous gangs of highly armed criminals roam the streets and whole districts burn away into the night, can a lone surviving gold medalist shot putter from Iceland manage to ESCAPE FROM RIO?
Seriously though, Olympics be damned, I'm more concerned about the locals. Hope shit's not as grim as that image paints it.
Sounds like a solid prequel/&/or reboot to Escape from NY (if you can get around the premise the original was meant to happen in 1997)
Call in Kurt Russell/AKA Snake Plissken, a disgraced former olympic athlete for the USA turned self employed PMC (due to his outstanding physique and accuracy with javelin and claymore shooting), called in by the crooked local government to do a simple protection job with enough money to retire him from his PMC work. Its a job nobody else will touch, which is why they called in the best money could buy.
Disaster happens, chaos breaks loose as gangs come out in force to hold a entire stadium and city to ransom, with corrupt local media smearing his name as the perpetrator in a dramatic double cross with underlying subplot on how the olympic torch is used to hide the world-class highest grade cocaine worth killing for used only by the elite at the expense of common people and its a goal of the terrorists and anarchic local militia to get their hands on it and therefore seize power.
Snake ends up a figurative prisoner inside a 'free city' within the confines of the stadium and the densely populated and back-to-back slums surrounding him. Film ends with Snake escaping and the city being walled off as a reactionary last ditch effort given the local political collapse and breakdown of authority by Meso and North American peacekeeping corps, the first prison city of many.
But really uh back to RL talk, its a REALLY bad idea to go. Just watch it on TV, its much safer and pray that the athletes return safely from
the hunger games events back home because they are sticking their necks out going to such a place on behalf of sport and our entertainment/culture.
