A thrilling big-screen experience for fans of classic British sci-fi, this Thunderbirds double bill brings together two of the most iconic episodes ever made: Trapped in the Sky and Terror in New York City. Bursting with action, suspense, and Gerry Anderson’s groundbreaking Supermarionation, these fan favourites showcase International Rescue at its very best—combining daring rescues, stunning model work, and unforgettable characters.

Making their worldwide debut in stunning 4K UHD, both episodes have been meticulously restored from the best surviving film elements in collaboration with award-winning restoration experts. The result is the ultimate viewing experience—presented in glorious detail and with audio options including the original mono and newly remixed 5.1 surround sound.

 

Whether you're reliving the danger of a sabotaged atomic airliner in Trapped in the Sky or the dramatic mission to save New York from disaster in Terror in New York City, this cinema double bill is a must-see celebration of Thunderbirds in all its explosive glory. FAB!

 

Trapped In the Sky

50mins

 

The first episode of Thunderbirds series 1. Master criminal the Hood plants a bomb on board the new atomic-powered airliner Fireflash before it departs on its maiden flight. Unable to land for fear of setting off the bomb, the crew and passengers' only hope of survival lies with International Rescue.

 

Terror In New York City

50mins

 

Largely regarded as the most exciting Thunderbirds episode made, after Thunderbird 2 is heavily damaged in a mistaken attack, it leaves the team seemingly without a swift means to transport any rescue gear to New York City to save a news crew trapped underneath the collapsed Empire State Building.
