The main puppet characters are multi-millionaire ex-astronaut Jeff Tracy, the founder of International Rescue, and his five sons, who pilot the craft of the Thunderbirds fleet. Periodically re-aired since its original 1965–66 broadcast, Thunderbirds has influenced numerous TV programmes, films and advertisements, has been followed by three feature-length films and a stage play, and has inspired various merchandising campaigns.
