Rescue Heroes: The Movie is a 2003 direct-to-video computer animated film based on the TV series Rescue Heroes.[1]
Plot
After rescuing the citizens of Berkheiser, North Dakota from an earthquake, the Rescue Heroes are sent to Ecuador to evacuate two reporters who are trapped a crashed helicopter following an eruption of the volcano Mount Sangay. While climbing the volcano, Rocky Canyon neglects to use pitons out of overconfidence, resulting in him and Billy Blazes nearly falling off of the mountain. The two are able to rescue the reporters, but Billy reprimands Rocky for his recklessness, and for not relying on his teammates for backup.
A series of atypical thunderstorms begins to occur around the world, resulting in numerous natural disasters on a global scale. Billy dispatches the Rescue Heroes around the world to deal with these events, reluctantly sending Rocky to Geis, Switzerland to act as backup following a major avalanche. While rescuing a snowboarder, Rocky deviates from orders and takes a dangerous path down the mountain, consequently coming in the path of another avalanche. Rocky and the snowboarder are able to escape safely, but Billy suspends Rocky from field duty. While Billy attempts to repair a damaged dam on the Pa Sak River in Thailand, he suddenly blacks out, causing the dam to collapse and the river to flood. Billy falls ill, muttering before falling unconscious “Out of many, one.”
The Rescue Heroes identify that the storms originated from Sangay; the lightning is a product of a previously unidentified magnetic element in the volcanic ash. The storms are being drawn north by Earth's magnetic field, and when they converge, they will explode outward, resulting in global cataclysm. Rocky deduces that Billy's message was referring to lightning bolts, and that the storms can be stopped by using a lightning rod to ground their electricity. Meanwhile, Rocky discovers that Billy's illness is due to a poisonous plant he came in contact with during the Sangay mission. Blaming himself for Billy's injury, Rocky volunteers to go with Wendy Waters to recover the plant's root from the volcano to cure Billy.
Rocky and Wendy scale the volcano a second time, and Rocky, realizing the need for relying on his teammates, allows Wendy to recover the root from the mountainside. Jake Justice contacts the United Nations, and the countries of the world work together to build an enormous, mile-high lightning rod in Greenland. During the construction, Jack Hammer is injured and the Rescue Heroes’ jet cable is fused to the top of the tower by a lightning strike. Rocky and a cured Billy are able to rescue Jack and disconnect the cable just as a huge burst of lightning strikes the tower and discharges the storms’ electricity, causing them to disperse and saving the planet.
At the Mountain Action Command Center, Rocky apologizes to Billy for his behavior, and Billy apologizes as well for not being forward with his illness. Billy promotes Rocky to Mission Select Team Leader, and the Rescue Heroes celebrate together.
