Thunderbirds Are Go is a British-Australasian science fiction television programme produced by ITV Studios and Pukeko Pictures. It is a remake of the 1960s television series Thunderbirds created by Gerry and Sylvia Anderson that follows the exploits of International Rescue, a secret life-saving organisation equipped with technologically-advanced rescue crafts for sea, land, air and space rescue; headed by a fleet of five vehicles named the Thunderbirds, each piloted by one of the Tracy brothers.

Set in the year 2060, Thunderbirds Are Go follows the exploits of the Tracy brothers; Scott, John, Virgil, Gordon, and Alan, who form International Rescue (IR), a secret organisation dedicated to saving human life from industrial disasters. They are aided in their missions by technologically advanced vehicles used for land, sea, air and space rescues. The most important of these are five machines named the Thunderbirds, each piloted by one of the five brothers:

Aided by Head of Security Tanusha "Kayo" Kyrano (also the pilot of Thunderbird Shadow, a stealth jet used for covert operations), engineer Hiram "Brains", his robot assistant MAX, and the brothers' Grandma, the Tracy family reside on Tracy Island, their hidden base in the South Pacific Ocean from where they operate International Rescue. They also enlist the help of English aristocrat Lady Penelope Creighton-Ward with her chauffeur Aloysius Parker as their London field agents when a mission requires criminal investigation. Penelope and Parker's primary mode of transportation is FAB 1, a six-wheeled limousine fitted with gadgets and weaponry, as well as flying and underwater capabilities for espionage missions.
