Thunderbirds (TV series)/Recap/S1/E14 The Mighty Atom
When an experimental facility explodes in Australia, it gives the dastardly Hood an idea. When a similar project is brought online in the Sahara a year later, he steals a new prototype camera and sabotages the Saharan plant, planning to draw the attention of International Rescue!
The first part of his plan goes without a hitch, but the sabotage rapidly grows out of hand and soon the entire plant is on the verge of destruction. Thunderbird 4 successfully disables the coastal section of the plant, averting a nuclear disaster, and Lady Penelope accidently defeats the Hood's mouse-cam.
Incidentally, this is the only episode to feature all five Thunderbirds on screen.
- Eek! A Mouse!
- Made of Explodium: Any incident in the nuclear plant automatically triggers a chain reaction that will cause a nuclear explosion.
- Stay In Thunderbird 2
- Title Drop: The Mighty Atom is the nickname of the mouse cam.
