It's a parody of a heist film. It has to be built like a comedy because the protagonists are going to be employees of a penetration testing company who are hired to do a physical security exercise on a big bank or a tech firm or something. There's no stakes because if they get caught they're just going to say "Yeah you caught me, here's my letter, call this manager and we'll go from there" so it's got to be kind of farcical. To fill out the details of the script, get Deviant Ollam and Jayson Street together over whiskey and hire a stenographer to take notes.

It can start out a little like Office Space, doing all the standard tricks like walking in the front door with your arms full and in a hurry. And it always works. Until they hit the final boss: an IT security worker who has built an impenetrable fortress inside the company. Then it turns into Mission Impossible.

I'm thinking of a story Deviant Ollam told where he was outside in the parking lot doing tricks distracting security while his team wrecked ass inside.
