This colorful large-format poster is rolled and features an exciting action scene with images of the main characters beneath it. The poster exhibits creases and small tears in the borders, random areas of crimping, and unobtrusive scuffing across most of the surface with some small scattered creases. This poster looks very impressive in person and boasts great futuristic graphics.

A feature-length follow-up to the enormously popular TV series Thunderbirds. This was arguably the most popular of creators Gerry and Sylvia Anderson's Supermarionation series, in which cleverly designed puppets starred in action and adventure roles. Highly ambitious, the film's special effects sequences, directed by Derek Meddings, took six months to complete. The film opened to mixed reviews and a disappointing box office - it had the misfortune to open at the same time as Batman (1966), based on the popular TV show that had sparked the Batmania craze - but still did well enough to spawn a sequel, Thunderbirds 6, in 1968.
