Original title

Thunderbirds Are Go

Storyline

Remake of the hit 1960s "Supermarionation" television show. In the 21st century, former astronaut Jeff Tracy amasses a colossal fortune and decides that he must use it to benefit others. His answer to this desire is to create International Rescue, a unique private emergency response service equipped with customized designed vehicles and equipment that enable the organization to react to any crisis whether it be in sea, air, land, or space. Jeff's five sons volunteer to operate as the pilots and field agents, as well as "Brains" (real name unknown), who acts as the team's technical developer and engineer. In addition, Jeff's friend Kyrano and his daughter Tanusha aka Kayo (based on the original series Tin-Tin character) agree to be the support staff. In addition to the field team, IR also maintains an intelligence network with Lady Penelope Creighton-Ward and her ex-con chauffeur Parker as the chief agents in this arm. The series depicts this team as they answer various calls for help around--and beyond--the world while they prevent enemies like the Hood, Kayo's uncle, from learning and exploiting their secrets. We join the story when Jeff (and probably Kyrano) is missing--presumed dead--and his family must continue his legacy still hoping he might be found safe. Kayo is now head of security and Grandma (who is a poor cook) is in charge of mealtimes.
