When a washed up plumber gets abducted by an automated alien spaceship, he must use his particular set of skills to save himself and the planet. (FOR MEETUP)
Hey Paul, I actually like the "washed up" description.

Hey Paul,
I actually like the “washed up” description. It’s a set of words that relates back to what a plumber does (washing drains out, working with water) but it also implies the downtrodden aspect that you were going for but with a bit more interest.
See lessI can see Nir’s point about an antagonist and yours as well, but I would follow your own instincts which is that there needs to be more danger, so “an automated alien ship hurdling towards Earth,” or “an automated alien ship set to self-destruct,” anything which creates a high stakes force that your plumber is working against would be right.
In addition, I’d always go with the higher stakes option in terms of what’s being saved, at least from what you have here. In other words, saving the planet is much higher stakes, plus there’s a level of fun irony that’s inherent when a “washed up plumber” uses his skills to save the entire planet and not just your bathroom toilet.
Great idea!
