When The Hood finds and invades International Rescue's secret base and traps most of the Tracy family, only young Alan Tracy and his friends can save the day.

The year is 2010. Teenager Alan Tracy, sent off to a distant boarding school, is the youngest of the sons of Jeff Tracy, a retired American astronaut. Jeff, a widower, has formed International Rescue, and raised his sons to act as a secret, volunteer organization which uses highly advanced technology to save lives worldwide. Jeff and his older sons John, Virgil, Scott, and Gordon, who like Alan were named after the Mercury Seven astronauts are joined in this effort by Lady Penelope and her butler/chauffeur Parker. Their futuristic hardware is largely developed by a genius scientist known as Brains, who lives at the International Rescue base on Tracy Island, somewhere in the Pacific.—Anthony Pereyra {hypersonic91@yahoo.com}

Operating from an island in the south Pacific, retired astronaut Jeff Tracy and his family dedicate themselves to saving lives in their state of the art machinery dubbed the Thunderbirds. However, young Alan is the only one left out and dreams of joining the family business. But his loyalty to his family's mission is put to the test when ruthless mastermind The Hood invades the island base and plots to use the Thunderbirds in a scheme to rob the world's biggest banks. Now with help from tech genius Brains and family friend Lady Penelope, Alan, along with friends Tin Tin and Fermat, must do everything he can to not only save his father and brothers but the entire world before The Hood's rampage causes major catastrophe.—Blazer346

Having narrowly averted a major disaster on an oil rig, the Thunderbirds have just returned home to their secret base when TB5, their space based station, is critically damaged in a suspected meteor strike. Unbeknown to them, the attack on TB5 is a deliberate ploy by international master criminal Aristotle Spode to get them off the island. He takes over the island and forces Brains into submission, using the power of his mind. But Spode has overlooked one key factor: Alan, Fermat and Tin Tin are still on the island.—Brian Sloan
