When dangerous situations exceed the limitations or 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 (Sir
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 was a childhood favourite of countless youngsters growing up; unfortunately, none of the actors in this lamentable reboot look anything like their storied counterparts who created the roles on the original series, leaving many a fan hanging his head and wondering what might have been...
An action epic beyond compare, THUNDERBIRDS has it all: fascinating characters, mind-blowing special effects, and the most dazzling stunt sequences yet! Be sure to catch this on the big screen, where the spectacular visuals can truly be appreciated.
The acting was fantastic & the action sequences were so surreal. Loved every minute of it especially the bonus features on the DVD. Good job guys
