[Synopsis]
The story centers around International Rescue. With a focus on saving lives, the film depicts International Rescue's brave response to disasters and accidents.
International Rescue was founded by billionaire Jeff Tracy. His five sons, Scott, Virgil, Alan, Gordon, and John, operate the state-of-the-art mech, the Thunderbird, and deploy it across land, sea, air, and even space. With the help of Brains, the engineer who designs and builds all of International Rescue's rescue mechs, as well as security officer Keiyo and London agent Lady Penelope, they deploy to avert disasters and rescue people around the world.
They are neither a military nor a police organization; their mission is to rescue people in need. While they may thwart villains in the process, they never pursue them themselves. That is the role of the GDF (Global Defense Force).
International Rescue is known worldwide, but its true nature is shrouded in mystery. This is in order to adhere to the Tracy family's rule of "selfless heroism."
Another reason they maintain anonymity is to protect their safety from evil organizations that seek to obtain their technology. The Hood, who is plotting to uncover International Rescue's secrets and take over the world by stealing its cutting-edge technology, is also believed to be involved in the disappearance of Jeff, the Tracy family's father...
In the previous season, The Mechanic, a major threat to International Rescue, was imprisoned. Meanwhile, The Hood continues to cause chaos around the world, aiming to completely destroy International Rescue.
New villains, Havoc and Fuse, join Hood's team, and together they form the Chaos Crew, equipped with destructive skills, weapons, and vehicles.
Fortunately, rescue operation robots developed by the Global Defense Force (GDF) for rescue operations join the rescue effort, but the interference and destructive attacks of Hood's Chaos Crew are greater than ever.
To confront these threats and rescue those in need, International Rescue must use every means possible.
Then, after receiving the shocking news that their father, Jeff, may still be alive, the Tracy siblings embark on their most personal rescue yet. This mission will require not only their unity, but also the help of The Mechanic...
This promises to be one of the most thrilling and moving series yet!
