Scott and Virgil Thunderbirds 1 and 2 will launch fly to the spot in order to monitor and to guide Zero-X during takeoff, while Alan in Thunderbird 3 launch from space monitoring. Jeff also sends Lady Penelope to the press conference of the astronauts the evening before the launch. She gives to each of the astronauts a St. Christopher brooch with a transmitter, and discovers that someone else is the site of one of the astronauts on Board has adopted Zero-X . Scott unmasks the trickster, the Hood again, but he manages to escape. Lady Penelope and Parker after a pursuit switch the Hood off by shooting down his helicopter.

After launching invites Lady Penelope Scott and Virgil out for an evening at a nightclub.

That night, Alan Gets a dream in which Lady Penelope i.e. without him.

There is no doubt that United Artists financed the movie because the series was a great success with both children and adults. The film, however, was less successful than UA was hoping for. According to Gerry Anderson would be because the target was not used to run movies based on TV series. The same year released Batmanmovie and Doctor Whofilm Daleks-Invasion Earth 2150 AD, which also both were based on a television series, were also less successful than planned. Other critics find that it has more to do with the fact that the film a stretched TV episode is not problem-free and a 50-minute attention span can be stretched to 90 minutes. Most fans of the series find that this film too little typical Thunderbirds also has action and sins against the operations of International Rescue (the base should not remain unmanned, but yet the whole family at the end of the film in the Swinging Star). The rescue comes only at the end and is little original. This is in even greater extent apply to the Thunderbird Six second feature film that was released two years later. The film is also unnecessarily long interrupted in the Middle by the for the story irrelevant dream of Alan Tracy and the occurrence of Cliff Richard Junior & Shadows.

Improvements in technology made in the series Captain Scarlet, which was made after the movies, dolls for came up with smaller, more realistic heads. ===Place in Gerry Anderson series<span class="mw-editsection" len="358" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] === <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">Thunderbirds are GO serves as a kind of bridge between the television series Thunderbirds and Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons. The Marslander MEV (Martian Exploration Verhicle) detachable for piece of Mars that the rocket is Zero-X , comes in both for. Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons city discovered it destroys it with a misunderstanding, which the "War of Nerves" between Earth and the Mysterons (defended by the Spectrum-organization) for 39 episodes of 25 minutes starts.
