This is something probably a lot of people do already. I would like to read some ideas and experiences with stuff like this. My latest pet project involves a homebrew quasi-darksun setting, from which I'm borrowing a lot of material. Namely, the silt sea, silt skiffs, city states, powerful kings and templars a lot of the weapons and Muls. My movie adaptation ... in this world there is a very strong law enforcement body, but poverty is abound. Famine, disease, madness are rampant, many have become renegades, outlaws, and brigands. The largest routes of commerce and lightning rails (borrowed from Eberron) have been hit by a band of expert skiff-sailing bandits. A young gunslinger, is appointed to infiltrate the local clandestine skiff racing circuits to find clues that would lead to the assailants. Just for fun, guess the movie...
Sounds like the first Fast and Furious...or any of a dozen earlier flix.
Borrowing the plot line of a movie is one of the easiest ways of setting up an adventure sequence. Just change genres. I used to watch a Saturday afternoon western channel, jot down what passed for plot (some were real bad!) and adapt. My favorite was a 20+ index card 'Big Jake' knock-off that ended in a ruined labyrinth of some kind. I ran it in D&D, Champions, 3 different space games and once in Boot Hill. The last was a BIG mistake. Everyone caught on by halfway through and I was cold. Couldn't think of a single twist to add to the storyline.

Yep I was thinking Fast and the Furious. I have been catching up with this system lately, and this have helped me "rediscover" countless films which I have forgotten.
I had This idea watching Star Wars Clone Wars series.
