Thunderbird 6

Thunderbirdis a 1968 British sciencefiction adventure film written by Gerry and Sylvia Anderson, directed by David Lane and produced by CenturyCinema. A sequel to 1966s Thunderbirds Are Go, it was the second film to be adapted from the 1960s television series Thunderbirds, which combined scale models and special effects with marionette puppet characters in a filming process that the Andersons termed Supermarionation. Intended to provide a lighterhearted cinematic experience to contrast with the harder science of Thunderbirds Are Go, the Andersons elected to base the plot of Thunderbirdon Skyship One, a futuristic airship that is the latest project of the scientist Brains.

In 2068, Note the New World Aircraft Corporation NWAC provides Brains, the inventor of the Thunderbird machines of the humanitarian International Rescue organisation, with an open brief to design a revolutionary aircraft. Although Brains is ridiculed when he proposes an airship for the 21st century, NWAC accepts his blueprints and builds Skyship One, which will circumnavigate the world on its maiden flight with preprogrammed stopover destinations. Alan, TinTin, Lady Penelope and Parker will represent International Rescue as special guests. Brains, meanwhile, is forced to remain on Tracy Island when Jeff decides that International Rescue requires a Thunderbird 6. Contracted to design this latest addition to the Thunderbirds fleet with no specification, Brains produces a range of concepts, all of which are rejected by Jeff.Alan and TinTin travel to England in an old de Havilland Tiger Moth biplane and join Penelope and Parker. As Skyship One embarks on its roundtheworld voyage, the International Rescue guests are unaware that Captain Foster and the stewards have been murdered and replaced by agents in the pay of the Hood, Note who is operating under the alias of Black Phantom and is based at the disused El Hadim airfield near Casablanca in Morocco. Codenamed White Ghost, the impostors are not required to demonstrate technical knowledge of Skyship One since it incorporates automated systems, meaning that the trip passes without incident as the airship visits such locations as New York, the Grand Canyon, Rio de Janeiro and India. ........
