But can you write?
There are thousands of people who think that they have an interesting story, what separates them for the ones who get their work produced is that a skilled writer took the time to create something worth reading. And I can tell you right now that reading your description wasn't exactly exciting and it didn't jump off the page as a story that's begging to be made into a movie or novel.
Also, publishers, producers and famous actors are all too busy to read something from a writer with zero experience. If you have a completed manuscript, your best bet is getting it in the hands of someone at a literary agency. But just because you get it in their hands doesn't mean they're going to be rushing to read it, so try to establish good relationships and definitely don't let the first few pages be sloppy or boring.
Good luck. -

West Palm Beach, Riviera beach, Tropical Shipping. goggle search " 3 men arrested in west palm beach, FL for ISIS terror plot" The clown name Dwayne Antani Christian was the guy buying guns for me.

It's a dime a dozen story. Unless it was BIG, you've got an uphill battle.
I have a friend (coincidentally lives in FL) who wrote a book about his escapades as courier, money laundered, and friend of the cartels of Columbia. Oh, yeah, he was also working as an informant for the DEA the whole time.
It's a pretty good story, he published a book, it's still on Amazon. He couldn't a volume publisher to consider his book for wide release.
If you think you've got something (not saying you don't), you will have to shop it around to the large and not so large publishers and see if anyone takes an interest.
Movies are VERY loosely based on true stories, and usually incorporate many different events from many different people into one venue. Most people can't even recognise their story on the screen after Hollywood get through with it.

One idea.
start making youtube videos ( shot with your phone) with your stories. Make it a soap opera. DONT tell the end of your story unti the NEXT video. Then start another story but dont end it until
this may get you a following generate some attention from hollywood
of course, don't say anything that could get you into more trouble
