Plot
A group of teenagers from Angel Grove, California secretly serve as the Power Rangers, a team of super-powered humans who use their abilities to defend the Earth from otherworldly threats. After participating in a charity skydive for the local observatory, the Rangers are informed by their leader, Zordon, that the hyperlock chamber imprisoning Ivan Ooze, a morphological being who once ruled the Earth, has been uncovered at a local construction site. He sends the Rangers to intercept the chamber before it is opened; however, Lord Zedd, Rita Repulsa, Goldar and Mordant arrive at the construction site before them and release Ivan. The Rangers confront Ivan, who unleashes Oozemen to battle them. While the Rangers defeat the Oozemen, the distraction allows Ivan to escape. He lays siege to their Command Center, incapacitating Zordon, the one who imprisoned him, and destroying the Rangers' powers.
The Rangers return to the Command Center, finding it destroyed and Zordon outside his time warp, slowly dying, his only consolation being that the Rangers themselves are unharmed. Using the last remaining power in the Command Center, Zordon's assistant Alpha 5 sends the Rangers to the distant planet Phaedos to seek and obtain the Great Power, which can revive Zordon. Meanwhile, Ivan Ooze usurps Rita and Lord Zedd, forcing Goldar and Mordant to be his servants, before sending his Tengu warriors to Phaedos after the Rangers. After arriving on Phaedos, the Rangers battle the Tengu but they are rescued by Dulcea, the planet's Master Warrior. After hearing of Zordon's plight, she agrees to help and takes them to an ancient temple, where she awakens each Rangers' animal spirit; Aisha Campbell is the bear, Rocky DeSantos is the ape (specifically, the gorilla; the chimpanzee in the TV series), Billy Cranston is the wolf, Kimberly Hart is the crane, Adam Park is the frog, and Tommy Oliver is the falcon. Unable to leave the temple without ageing rapidly, Dulcea transforms into an owl. The Rangers head for the Monolith housing the Great Power. They defeat a living dinosaur skeleton and then the temple's stone guardians, after which they retrieve the Great Power, restoring their Ranger suits and powers.
Back on Earth, Ivan begins selling his ooze as a children's toy, which he uses to hypnotize their parents into serving him. He then begins excavating his Ecto-Morphicons, twin war machines built during his reign. After seeing his father serving Ivan, Fred Kelman, a friend of the Rangers, realizes Ivan's plans. Once the Ecto-Morphicons are excavated, Ivan unleashes them on Angel Grove, ordering the parents to walk off a cliff, prompting Fred to recruit other kids to save them. The Rangers return to Earth and use their new animal Ninja Zords to fight Ivan's Ecto-Morphicons. After a difficult battle, they destroy the first machine, Scorpitron. Ivan takes control of the other machine, Hornitor, and battles the Rangers, who combine their Zords to form the Ninja Megazord and later the Ninja Mega Falconzord. The Rangers lure Ivan into space and knock him into the path of Ryan's Comet, which destroys him, breaking his spell on the parents, who are reunited with their children, and freeing Zedd and Rita. The Rangers return to the Command Center to find Zordon has died, much to their dismay. But, instead of giving up, they use the Great Power to restore the Command Center and resurrect Zordon, returning him to his time warp. A celebration is held at Angel Grove's Harbor in honor of the Power Rangers.
