Alternative film plots based on the title

I noticed a film in the schedules a few weeks where the title gave no ambiguity about exactly what the film was about, but it got me thinking about creating different film plots based solely on the title. They do have be totally different to the original film's plot though.

For example

Olympus Has Fallen - A film about the financial downfall of a Japanese camera company.
Star Trek - The story of a film star's walk across the Pennines.
