Episode synopsis
Brains and Alan visit the Quantum Research Center, adjacent to New Geneva in Switzerland, to see the Supreme Hadron Collider switched on. Disaster strikes when the collider is switched on, creating a gravity well. A satellite is sucked down into downtown New Geneva, and International Rescue is mobilised when an aircraft and the World Wide Space Station are drawn into the gravity well, threatening the city. The only craft that can withstand the gravitational pressure is Thunderbird 4, used out of its normal undersea environment.
About Thunderbirds Are Go!
Remake of the hit 1960s television show. In the 21st century, Jeff Tracy, a former astronaut, 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 "Brain" who acts as the teams 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 and her ex-con chauffeur, Parker as the chief agents in this arm.
