When dangerous situations exceed the limitations of ordinary military and international security forces, the world calls upon the high-tech assistance of International Rescue - a mysterious band of fearless adventurers and their fleet of awesome, imaginatively engineered vehicles known as: Thunderbirds! Hidden from the world, Tracy Island, a lush patch of land situated in the remote waters of the South Pacific, is home to brilliant entrepreneur and former astronaut Jeff Tracy (Bill Paxton) and his five sons. It is also the headquarters of Tracy's top-secret organization, International Rescue - and it is under siege. Master criminal The Hood (Ben Kingsley) has breached island security, intent on commandeering International Rescue's fleet of five highly advanced rescue vehicles, each designed to accomplish a specific task. Deploying Jeff and his four eldest sons on a mission, The Hood finds his plans obstructed by Jeff's youngest son Alan (Brady Corbet), who will do anything to save the Tracy family and the Thunderbirds. Thunderbirds is a live-action feature film based on the hit British television series of the 1960s, which followed the perilous exploits of the Tracy family.

    Thunderbirds are for movie 2 I hope

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Oct 3, 2004

    Pros: Colour, gadgets, the Aircraft, and the island scenes

    Cons: Not enough of the older brothers.

    I grew up with the old thunderbirds and loved the puppet series. Therefore I decided to go in with an open mind and seperate the two shows. I was very pleased to find this movie very enjoyable. It had all the elements of the TV show, except there wer...e not enough scenes where the older brothers had an active roll. The movie was bright lively and colourful'I like the little references slipped in to the movie relating the puppets. I think all parents who want the childern to enjoy an action adveture,with gadgets, explosions, rescues and without the swearing, should see this movie.This movie is aimed at the pre teen and teen audiences, but that doesn't detract from it for adult watchers.This movie has been used as a vehicle to introduce the backstory and main players to a new generation of childern.If the producers decide to make further movies, and I hope they do, then the ground work has been set for more action and adventure, with established characters.If you liked the Spy kids movies, you will probably like this movie too.
