THis will work as first draft. You'll need to incorporate the title of the film into the VO and/or on-screen titles. Titles should also identify the stars.
More detail needed in the scene description e.g
Scene 4 - Interior, night. A living room in semi-darkness, lit by flickering torch. Two girls and a boy, wrapped in blankets, huddle round a transistor radio.
I'll go over standard screen layout again - check out

for samples of scripts. Strictly speaking, these are BBC TV rather than film scripts but Hollywood are incredibly fussy and insist on the Courier font which is not very VI friendly...
You need to decide a title for the film.
I have arranged access to the RNC server room - suggest you do it Wednesday am if Geoff Bates is available then.
This is clearer - but how is Jack talking to boss - mobile? You need to heighten the threat at the end and work in the basic credit & release date info via titles - at beginning or end.
The emergence from the cupboard could be anti-climactic - needs careful set-up!
I've provisonally got access to server room tomorrow morning.
