Thunderbirds
2004
Jeff Tracy and his five adult sons run International Rescue from a secret island, operating an arsenal of futuristic vehicles to save lives around the world — but a villainous masked criminal known as the Hood has his own plans for their technology. This live-action adaptation of the classic 1960s Gerry Anderson puppet television series updates it for a new generation.
