History Film / ThunderBirds

--->'''The Hood:''' ''Clever'' Alan. (''henchman looks at him, confused''). It's the children. They have it.\\

!!Tropes:

* CreatorKiller: Creator/JonathanFrakes film directing career came to a crashing halt after the film tanked at the box office - all his subsequent gigs have been in television.

* AlternativeForeignThemeSong: There is a Japanese theme song for the Japanese version of the film.

''Thunderbirds'' is a live-action/CGI action movie directed by [[Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration Jonathan Frakes]], and starring Creator/BenKingsley, Creator/BillPaxton and a young Music/VanessaHudgens, released in 2004. It is based on Gerry Anderson's famous {{Supermarionation}} show, ''Series/{{Thunderbirds}}''. It flopped spectacularly, due in part to the film missing much of what made the TV series so popular.

!!''Thunderbirds'' provides examples of the following tropes:

* GirlyBruiser: Lady Penelope gets some {{Xenafication}} - and does so while wearing bright pink. She even uses her parasol as a weapon.

* ActionGirl

* CallBack

'''Alan:''' [[spoiler: I don't want to save your life]]. But it's what we do.

** When a [[{{Macguffin}} vital component]] needed for his plans goes missing, he knows exactly who to blame. Regardless of the fact he [[NeverFoundTheBody supposedly killed them]] earlier in the film.

* PhonyNewscast: The movie somehow manages to shoehorn a reporter (the same reporter at that, and played by [[{{Nepotism}} the director's wife]] [[GeneralHospital Genie Francis]] to boot) into every scene in which the Thunderbirds appear in the outside world.

* PsychicPowers

* TravelingAtTheSpeedOfPlot: In the climax, Thunderbird 2 manages to get to London from Tracy Island (in the freaking ''South Pacific'') in the amount of time it takes Parker to pick a lock, a lock which is even implied to be straightforward for him to pick. Thunderbird 1 proceeds to make the same journey in the amount of time it takes the Mole to drill under the Thames into the "Bank of London".

** Arguably [[JustifiedTrope justified.]] He and his friends stopped a very dangerous man, his cronies, and saved the lives of his family, who, if he didn't act, would have died in space. In doing so, he also gained the necessary maturity to join.
