Thunderbirds Are Go!

S01E14: Falling Skies

The Estrella Grand is a self-constructing luxury hotel, designed by Brains, which orbits around Earth. The hotel suffers a mysterious hull breach that will not repair itself causing it to begin to fall to earth. Thunderbirds 2 and 3 are launched to rescue the guests including Lady Penelope and Parker. Kayo flies with Thunderbird 3 to board the hotel in search of a saboteur. Note: This episode is a homage to the original Thunderbirds episode, Ricochet (satellite crashing to Earth).

Overview

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.
