Synopsis
Five high-school students from different corners of the Angel Grove social map stumble on ancient coins inside an old mine and wake up with extraordinary abilities. A mentor from another age tells them the planet needs defenders, and an old enemy is already searching for a crystal that could end everything.
Power Rangers 2017: a reboot built around five misfits
Power Rangers 2017 is a big-screen reboot of the long-running teen superhero franchise that began on television in the 1990s. Instead of picking up a story already in motion, the film starts again from the origin: five students in the fictional town of Angel Grove, who barely know one another, end up in the same place at the same time and find ancient coloured coins hidden in a gold mine.
The script is credited to John Gatins, with a story credit shared among Matt Sazama, Burk Sharpless, Michele Mulroney and Kieran Mulroney, and Dean Israelite directed. Haim Saban, who created the franchise, is among the producers. We have not watched the film for this page, so everything here is drawn from published cast and crew listings and the general reputation of the franchise rather than from a personal viewing.
Cast, crew and release details
The young leads are Dacre Montgomery (Jason, the Red Ranger), Naomi Scott (Kimberly, Pink), RJ Cyler (Billy, Blue), Becky G (Trini, Yellow) and Ludi Lin (Zack, Black). Elizabeth Banks plays the villain Rita Repulsa, Bryan Cranston plays the mentor Zordon, and Bill Hader voices the robot helper Alpha 5.
The film reached US theatres on 24 March 2017 after premieres in Berlin and Los Angeles earlier that month. Its running time is listed at about 124 minutes and its American rating is PG-13. Lionsgate distributed it. We have not confirmed which streaming service in India currently carries the title, because catalogues change often; check the listings of the apps you already use, or a streaming-availability tracker, before planning an evening around it.
Who is this superhero reboot for?
The distinctive choice here is tone. The premise puts teenagers with ordinary problems at the centre and lets the superhero part arrive as something they must grow into, so the film leans on character and group chemistry before spectacle. Viewers who like origin stories, in the spirit of other young-team adventures, will recognise the structure.
If you grew up with the television series, expect a modern reinterpretation rather than a faithful copy of the old costumes and campy style. If you have never seen any Power Rangers, the film is designed to be an entry point, so no homework is needed. Parents should note the PG-13 rating, which suggests it suits older children and teens better than very young ones.
Who will enjoy Power Rangers?
- Fans of teen team-up origin stories
- Viewers curious about a modern take on a 1990s TV franchise
- Families with older children and teenagers
