If the context is an opening title, as suggested by Robert, then you could also say: Based On an idea by XXX.
I imagined (wrongfully?) that your text relates to a synopsis of an idea for a film, and for that my previous suggestions are also appropriate.

Based upon the idea of XXX
I think that it is more likely to be expressed this way in reference to a film, especially if we are talking opening titles.
