The Story Behind The Story

Since 1993 Power Rangers – a sentai series (sentai means task force, typically given to Japan’s yearly shows featuring a superhero group) from Japan – has been holding its own in North America and Europe. Now in its 17th year the series Power Rangers RPM appears on ABC Kids.

The Story

Power Rangers RPM takes place three years after a computer virus called Venjix took over every computer on Earth and an army of robot droids was created to destroy humanity. The only chance for human survival is to live in a domed city known as Corinth, which is protected by a force field.

Humans who have traveled long and far to get to Corinth find themselves being helped out by the Power Rangers, who take on monsters that wait around the city to attack any incoming people. In order to let the humans in, the force field of Corinth has to be lowered, so the Power Rangers must always be ready to fight and protect the last safe haven for humanity.

Who Are The Power Rangers?

The Power Rangers RPM consist of:

Scott Truman (Red Ranger): A former pilot of the Air Force Eagle Squadron, he must learn to lead the team and also deal with the military’s colonel, his father Mason Truman.
