Good idea for a SF movie ??

How's this sound?? -- An alien spacecraft approaches Earth from the opposite side of the Sun (our perspective) and is therefore not detected until it's about to enter orbit. A foreign nation, mistaking it as a threat from another govenment, fires a missile at it, only disabling it and placing it into a very low altitude polar orbit. The spacecraft utilizes fusion technology and thus its engines burn with extreme intensity -- from the surface of the Earth, its passing overhead results in a 1 million degree blast. Total destruction in a 5 mile wide path. No communication can be made due to the original hit from the disabling missile -- eventually (within days) the entire planet will be burned to a cindar. Sound familiar -- it was done. Titled "The Lost Missile", it was a low budget (but somewhat decent) film out of Canada. I believe this is a story that could be re-made into a decent film, especially with today's special effects and an audience not familliar with the original. Given the drivel that exudes from Hollywood as SF these days -- Armageddon - Remake of Lost in Space - Any Matrix Movie - Remake of Planet of the Apes - etc.; this one could actually keep the Science in SF correct. Comments??
