First, you must have a hero in some crappy job or bad situation, but with some kind of military background...
Honey, I really am glad that you gave up being a green beret navy paratrooper...
I know, honey - I'll always be here for you and the kids. Gotta go! Those toilets won't clean themselves!
Next two items: a ludicrously unlikely setting for the action, and some kind of high-profile hostage or hostages...
Ah, what a great job. Cleaning toilets here in the world's first glass-domed underseas city is fantastic...
Help! Help! A team of highly-trained terrorists and/or supercriminals has taken the Pope hostage as he was touring the undersea city! They demand that Baywatch go back into production! Fiends!!!
Okay, now you need some kind of non-American villain, a lot of gunplay, some kind of deadline, a threat to a member of the hero's family...
Now, estranged son of the toilet cleaner who hounds me... die!
No, Dad will rescue me and we'll have an emotional reconciliation!
