"Atlantic Inferno" is the 27th episode of Thunderbirds, a British Supermarionation television series created by Gerry and Sylvia Anderson and filmed by their production company AP Films (APF; later Century 21 Productions) for ITC Entertainment. Written by Alan Fennell and directed by Desmond Saunders, it was first broadcast on 2 October 1966 on ATV London and Anglia Television as the first episode of Series Two.^[1]^[2]^[3] It had its first UK-wide network broadcast on 17 April 1992 on BBC2.^[1]

Set in the 2060s, Thunderbirds follows the missions of International Rescue, a secret organisation that uses technologically-advanced rescue vehicles to save human life. The lead characters are ex-astronaut Jeff Tracy, founder of International Rescue, and his five adult sons, who pilot the organisation's primary vehicles: the Thunderbird machines. In "Atlantic Inferno", a navy weapons test in the Atlantic Ocean ignites a gas field under the seabed, threatening a drilling platform. With Jeff on holiday in Australia, his replacement, Scott, struggles to coordinate International Rescue's response to the crisis.

In 1967, Century 21 released an audio adaptation on vinyl EP record (catalogue number MA 125), narrated by David Graham as Gordon Tracy. ITC New York later paired the episode with "Terror in New York City" to create the Thunderbirds compilation film Countdown To Disaster (1982). In 1992, a novelisation by Dave Morris was published by Young Corgi. The same year, a three-part comic strip adaptation was printed in Fleetway's Thunderbirds: The Comic.^[1]
