Encyclopedic overview

Power Rangers (or Saban's Power Rangers) is a 2017 American superhero film based on Saban Entertainment's Power Rangers franchise, itself based on the Japanese Super Sentai franchise. It is the third installment in the Power Rangers film series, and is a reboot that loosely adapts "Day of the Dumpster", the pilot episode of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. The film was directed by Dean Israelite and written by John Gatins, and stars Dacre Montgomery, Naomi Scott, RJ Cyler, Becky G, Ludi Lin, Bill Hader, Bryan Cranston, and Elizabeth Banks. The film follows a group of teenagers who gain newfound powers, and must use them to protect Earth from an ancient reawakened threat. Franchise creator Haim Saban returned to produce the film under his investment firm.

Power Rangers premiered in Berlin, Germany on March 17, 2017, and was released in the United States on March 24 by Lionsgate Films. The film received mixed reviews from critics. It underperformed at the box office, with the total gross of $142.5 million worldwide against a budget between $100‒105 million. The film was intended to launch a film series with multiple sequels, but all plans were cancelled due to its commercial failure, leading Saban to sell the franchise rights to Hasbro. Another reboot was in development, but due to Hasbro ending its partnership with Netflix in 2024, plans for a reboot were scrapped. In 2025, Hasbro announced that another reboot is in development as a television series with Walt Disney Studios.
