Movie - Thunderbirds are Go!
The first of two movies produced after the 2 seasons.
The new spacecraft, Zero-X is destined for Mars carrying a crew of five astronauts. But when the craft experiences a critical mechanical fault shortly after take-off, the crew are forced to eject to safety while the multi-million dollar spacecraft crashes.
Two years later, an investigation committee releases the official report on the crash, concluding that the cause of the crash was sabotage. While the mission is put on hold, the committee decides that extra security measures would be required for a re-launch. After some debate, they decide to call on the services of International Rescue.
The Thunderbirds, with the help of London Agent, Lady Penelope, make sure the second launching attempt is successful. Once the craft lands on Mars, the crew begin to explore the planet and collect rock samples, but when they encounter unexpected problems, they are forced to return to Earth sooner than planned.
On the journey back to Earth, the crew encounter more problems when one of the lift bodies (remote controlled landing supports) fails and collides with the rear of the craft, damaging the escape unit circuit. With the crew unable to escape, it is again up to International Rescue to save the astronauts and a nearby town called Mount Tamborine from disaster.
