When five troubled Angel Grove teens—hotheaded Jason, brainy Billy, insecure Zack, rigid Trini, and punk-rock Kim—stumble upon an alien crash site, they're thrust into an ancient war. Recruited by the diminutive, wise Zordon, they become the Power Rangers, inheriting armored suits and giant robotic Zords. Their mission: stop the escaped criminal Rita Repulsa and her monstrous Dominators from retrieving a powerful scepter. But when Rita steals the scepter, drains Zordon's life force, and initiates a planetary core-leech that will destroy Earth, the rookie Rangers must overcome their personal demons, work as a team, and form the legendary Megazord to save their world—and each other—from total annihilation.
