:Power Rangers (film)

In the Cenozoic era, a team of warriors known as the Power Rangers are tasked with protecting the Zeo Crystal and life on Earth. The Green Ranger, Rita Repulsa, betrays them, planning to dominate the universe. The Red Ranger, Zordon, survives Rita's attack and hides five of the Power Coins. He orders Alpha 5, his robotic assistant, to perform a meteor strike that kills him, the dinosaurs, and sends Rita to the bottom of the sea, foiling her scheme.

65 million years later in the town of Angel Grove, high school football star Jason Scott is kicked off the team and placed under house arrest after a failed prank. In detention, he encounters autistic nerd Billy Cranston and former cheerleader Kimberly Hart. Billy is placed in detention after experimenting with explosives while Kimberly is there for cyberbullying. After Jason defends Billy from a bully named Colt Wallace, who usually goes after the latter, Billy offers to deactivate Jason's ankle monitor for help at an old gold mine. Once there, Jason leaves to explore and runs into Kimberly. Billy detonates explosives to break some rock, attracting the attention of Jason, Kimberly, and nearby students Trini Kwan and Zack Taylor. The five discover the Power Coins and each take one. While escaping mine security, their car is hit by a train. The five find themselves at home Monday morning and discover that the coins have granted them superhuman abilities. Elsewhere, Rita's sleeping body is found, but upon waking, she goes on a rampage, accumulating gold to raise her minion Goldar and find the Crystal.

The five teenagers return to the mine, where they discover an ancient spaceship and meet Alpha 5 and Zordon's consciousness. They inform the teenagers about the Rangers' history and Rita, warning that they have less than two weeks until Rita has her full power, finds the Crystal, and uses it to destroy life on Earth.

The five spend the next week training against simulated Putties and trying to morph, to little success. To inspire the Rangers, Alpha reveals the Zords, a fleet of enormous assault vehicles modeled after dinosaurs. Zack takes his Zord out for a joyride and almost kills the group when he crashes it. This angers Jason, and they fight. While trying to separate the two, Billy morphs. However, when he becomes conscious of it, the armor disappears. Angered at their lack of progress, Zordon dismisses the group. Jason returns to the ship to confront him and discovers that once the Rangers morph, it will open the Morphing Grid and allow Zordon to restore himself to a physical body. Feeling betrayed, Jason accuses Zordon of forming the team for the sole purpose of escaping the Grid.

That night, Rita attacks Trini and orders her to bring the Rangers to the docks. There, the Rangers fight her but are quickly defeated. Rita forces Billy to reveal the location of the Crystal, which he figured out is under a Krispy Kreme, kills him, and releases the other Rangers. Taking Billy's body to the ship, the Rangers ask Zordon to resurrect him. However, Zordon says he cannot do so. The Rangers agree they would give their lives for each other and resolve to defeat Rita. In doing so, they unlock the Morphing Grid. Zordon revives Billy, sacrificing his chance to restore his own physical self. With the team restored and confident, the Rangers morph into their armor.

Rita creates Goldar, raises an army of Putties, and attacks Angel Grove to find the Crystal. The Rangers battle the Putties and head to Angel Grove in their Zords. After the Putties are destroyed, Goldar pushes the Rangers and their Zords into a fiery pit. There, the Zords combine and form the Megazord, a giant humanoid robot. Rita merges with Goldar; the Rangers battle and destroy Goldar. After refusing Jason's offer to surrender, Rita declares that more will come for the Crystal and leaps at the Megazord only to be slapped into space. The Rangers are praised as heroes and return to their normal lives while keeping their new powers.

You can’t win everyone over, but we are trying to appeal to a more mature audience and gain new fans."{{cite magazine |url=https://www.ew.com/article/2016/05/05/power-rangers-reboot-new-suits-first-look |title=Power Rangers exclusive: Here's your first look at the gang's new suit |magazine=Entertainment Weekly |last=Li |first=Shirley |date=May 5, 2016 |access-date=May 5, 2016 |url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160505192926/http://www.ew.com/article/2016/05/05/power-rangers-reboot-new-suits-first-look |archive-date=May 5, 2016}} A teaser poster was released in June,{{cite magazine |url=https://www.ew.com/article/2016/06/22/power-rangers-reboot-teaser-poster |title=Power Rangers reboot's stars align in new teaser poster |magazine=Entertainment Weekly |last=Nolfi |first=Joey |date=June 22, 2016 |access-date=June 22, 2016 |url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160623164055/http://www.ew.com/article/2016/06/22/power-rangers-reboot-teaser-poster |archive-date=June 23, 2016}} with additional character posters released in July, September, and October.{{cite web |url=https://www.comingsoon.net/movies/news/702257-power-rangers-character-posters-bring-the-team-together#/slide/1 |title=Power Rangers Character Posters Bring the Team Together |publisher=ComingSoon.net |last=Perry |first=Spencer |date=July 14, 2016 |access-date=July 14, 2016 |url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160715160614/http://www.comingsoon.net/movies/news/702257-power-rangers-character-posters-bring-the-team-together#/slide/1 |archive-date=July 15, 2016}}{{cite web |url=https://www.comingsoon.net/movies/news/768657-power-rangers-new-york-comic-con#/slide/1 |title=Power Rangers New York Comic Con Posters are Here! |publisher=ComingSoon.net |last=Evry |first=Max |date=September 21, 2016 |access-date=September 21, 2016 |url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160922141130/http://www.comingsoon.net/movies/news/768657-power-rangers-new-york-comic-con#/slide/1 |archive-date=September 22, 2016}}{{cite web |url=https://www.comingsoon.net/movies/news/774113-nycc-go-go-power-rangers-character-posters#/slide/1 |title=NYCC: Go Go Power Rangers Character Posters! |last=Perry |first=Spencer |date=October 7, 2016 |access-date=October 7, 2016 |url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161008181302/http://www.comingsoon.net/movies/news/774113-nycc-go-go-power-rangers-character-posters#/slide/1 |archive-date=October 8, 2016}} On October 8, 2016, a Discover The Power teaser trailer for the film was released.{{cite web |last1=Liptak |first1=Andrew |title=Teenagers discover special abilities in the first teaser for Power Rangers |url=https://www.theverge.com/2016/10/8/13210048/first-teaser-trailer-power-rangers-lionsgate-film |website=The Verge |access-date=October 8, 2016 |date=October 8, 2016 |url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161009093804/http://www.theverge.com/2016/10/8/13210048/first-teaser-trailer-power-rangers-lionsgate-film |archive-date=October 9, 2016}}{{cite web |last1=Elderkin |first1=Beth |title=The First Power Rangers Trailer is Here and It's Super Serious You Guys |url=http://io9.gizmodo.com/the-first-power-rangers-trailer-is-here-and-its-super-s-1787568031 |website=io9 |date=October 8, 2016 |access-date=October 8, 2016 |url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161009111308/http://io9.gizmodo.com/the-first-power-rangers-trailer-is-here-and-its-super-s-1787568031 |archive-date=October 9, 2016}}{{cite web |last1=Couch |first1=Aaron |title='Power Rangers': Watch the First Trailer for the Reboot |url=https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/power-rangers-movie-trailer-watch-929440 |work=The Hollywood Reporter |access-date=October 8, 2016 |date=October 8, 2016 |url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161009134113/http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/power-rangers-movie-trailer-watch-929440 |archive-date=October 9, 2016}}
