Power Rangers is a 2017 film and the third edition of the Power Rangers franchise after the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie (1995) and Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie (1997). The movie is a reboot that brings back some of the iconic characters from the TV series Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. The Power Rangers are a team of superheroes who fight to protect the Earth and hold the Zeo Crystal, the source of their powers. However, their mission takes an unexpected turn when their fellow Power Ranger, Rita Repulsa, turns against them to conquer the universe.
The Power Rangers were played by Dacre Montgomery as Jason Scott (Red Ranger), Naomi Scott as Kimberly Hart (Pink Ranger), RJ Cyler as Billy Cranston (Blue Ranger), Becky G as Trini Kwan (Yellow Ranger), and Ludi Lin as Zack Taylor (Black Ranger). This diverse group of teenagers must put their differences aside and come together as a team to stop Rita and her evil forces from destroying the world.
Power Rangers starts with a flashback to ancient times when the Power Rangers existed to protect the planet and the Zeo Crystal. Unfortunately, they were betrayed by a Green Ranger named Rita Repulsa who aimed to control the entire universe. The Green Ranger attacked and killed all the other Power Rangers, except for the Red Ranger, Zordon, who managed to hide the five Power Coins in the Earth’s crust. Rita herself was also struck by a meteor and was believed to be dead after she sank to the ocean floor.
In the present day, Jason Scott, a former high school football star turned rebellious teen, meets Billy Cranston, a brainy student, and Kimberly Hart, a cheerleader. The three of them go on a quest to an abandoned gold mine where they unintentionally come across the Power Coins. Later, they meet two other teenagers, Trini Kwan and Zack Taylor, who also get their own Power Coins. They find that the Power Coins give them superpowers and decide to use them to protect the Earth.
However, their mission is not so straightforward as Rita Repulsa, who has woken up from her long slumber, is back and on a quest to find the Power Coins. She starts by raising the monster Goldar to fight the new Power Rangers. The battle between the Power Rangers and Goldar is epic, with Jason and his team needing to rely on their skills, intelligence, and teamwork to defeat their enemy.
