When your house is invaded by alligators ten times normal size or fashion models hijack your futuristic superjet, who could possibly come to the rescue in time? Why, THE THUNDERBIRDS, of course.
Late in the 21st Century ex-astronaut-gazillionaire Jeff Tracy devotes his fortune to the ultra-tech International Rescue Team. He is joined by his five sons, who operate the Thunderbirds vehicles (rocket plane, VTOL aircraft, spaceship, submarine and space station) and utilize a stunning array of gadgets that put James Bond to shame.
Rescue adventures - from speeding trains to collapsing buildings, as well as the aforementioned alligators and fashion models - take the intrepid Tracy family and their companions (Brains, Kyrano, Tin Tin, and Lady Penelope Creighton-Ward) around the world and into space. Natural disasters keep the IR Team busy enough, but when the evil figure ""The Hood"" gets up to his dirty tricks, they have to pull out all the stops to foil his wicked intrigues.
By the way, they're puppets, the absolute cutting edge of mid-sixties SUPERMARIONATION, in fact. But the stories, special effects and characters that emerged from the brilliant mind of Gerry Anderson (Supercar, Space: 1999) make this one of the all-time best TV sci-fi shows.
Don't let four decades in the can fool you; this is top-notch adventure, strings attached!
Action-packed with bonus features, including:
- Photo gallery of production stills
- Two original 1965 "Making of" featurettes
- "The History of THE THUNDERBIRDS"
- Character Biographies
- Gerry Anderson biography and filmography
