[Q]: Build a movie plot around this: What is Dr. Wernher's mission? Is to destroy the US's Earth-orbiting space station
****
[A]: It's the future - in 1970 :-) - and the first moon base has been in existence for a little while. The "enemies of freedom", including a Minister, need to destroy the base in two months' time. They are going to exchange one of scientists for a look-alike. Finally, Doctor Wernher (Larry Johns) is replaced at a hotel in San Francisco. They put a hidden microphone in the room of Doctor Wernher. Mr. Roundtree (Herb Jacobs) talks to him and tells Doctor Wernher's body double to destroy the station. Wernher asks for a car to leave the hotel and asks for a bellboy (Robert Paltz) to take his luggage out. The bellboy hits him in the nape of his head. He's paid on the spot. When the real bellboy arrives, the change has already taken place.Back at USSF SPACOM, the army good guys discuss the convenience of taking a civilian with them, as they could take the photographs they need, but it's about the politics, says Gen. Pappy Greene (Hayden Rorke). The White House tells Colonel Briteis (Donna Bartell) to check everything around the base. Maj. Bill Moore (Ross Ford) will begrudgingly be the pilot of the flight to the base. Donna and Polly Prattles (Barbara Morrison) enter the office. Donna will be the pilot, but Bill will be her co-pilot. She tries to avoid it, as Bill is jealous of her. [It's nice how her boss calls him spoiled and threatens to spank her if she does misbehave.] Polly is a journalist who wants to understand why the base and making photographs of the surrounding area. The space station Doctor Wernher wants to destroy will be the first step to build the base, essential for our future peace and democracy. Polly gets excited when she learns that she will weigh nothing because of the lack of gravity.The rocket is finally sent to space. Bill wants to hear a baseball match, and Donna mocks him. Donna wants to try to land on the Moon, not just going round the dark side with Dr Wernher. Preparing for the visit, Donna goes through some corridors with "PLEASE, DO NOT WALK ON THE WALLS" caption written on. Donna, Bill...

[A]:
Blood Monkey is a horror / jungle suspense thriller set in modern day Thailand. The film centers around anthropological professor Conrad Hamilton (F. Murray Abraham) attempting to study a new species of primate, possibly the missing link between humanity and the great ape, found in a hidden valley deep within the jungles of Thailand. The movie opens into action with Hamilton's initial research team trying to capture one of these new (and very large) primates, but fails and is apparently wiped out. Hamilton and his assistant Chenne (Prapimporn Karnchanda) survive and scour the camp site looking for clues and remains of their team.Meanwhile, another research team is inbound, this one a motley crew of incredibly naive college anthropology students with no idea of what they're in for. The students Seth, Amy, Greg, Sydney, Josh, and Dani are flown into a remote region of the Thai jungle, and picked up by a guide who drives them deeper into bush. He drops them off in a panic at the edge of trail/road, which leads further still into the foliage, claiming "bad things" are in there and won't go any further. He high-tails it back the way he came, leaving the students to march forth into the unknown. They walk until they reach the end of trail and set up camp. As evening sets in, noises from the jungle raise suspicion until a set of glowing green eyes can be seen close by, watching. Just before the unknown creature attacks, Chenne arrives with a flare that scares off the unseen menace.Chenne escorts the students to the relative safety of Professor Hamilton's camp, and the following day they meet the obsessed man and learn of his mission and their purpose...sort of.Hamilton professes of dream findings in a uncharted region of the jungle and their potential for career-launching documentation. He has Chenne confiscate their mobile phones and hands out information bracelets for each member, which contain all of their emergency contact info, and promptly leads the slightly unwilling team to the valley entrance.
