After sabotaging the Command Center and cutting off Zordon's connection to their dimension, Tommy helps Rita strike another blow to the Rangers during a battle where the Megazord is drained of its power by a solar eclipse and then blasted into a molten lava pit. Entrusted with Rita's Sword of Darkness, the source for the continuance of the evil spell he has fallen victim to, Tommy comes dangerously close to defeating the Power Rangers. The new teen, Tommy Oliver, passes Rita's tests, becoming the Green Ranger. Using her magic, Rita kidnaps and brainwashes a local teen whose fighting skills prove to equal that of Jason's in a martial-arts tournament held in Angel Grove. However, consecutive failures lead Rita to adopt a new method for conquering Earth and destroying the Power Rangers-by attacking them with one of their own.

The series begins with five teenagers combating Rita and her seemingly endless array of monsters, while also dealing with typical teenage problems and clashing with local bullies Bulk and Skull. This provides them with superhuman abilities and an arsenal of weapons, as well as colossal assault machines called Zords which can combine into a giant humanoid machine known as the Megazord. Zordon gives them the ability to transform into a fighting force known as the Power Rangers. The five teens chosen are Jason Lee Scott, Kimberly Hart, Zack Taylor, Trini Kwan, and Billy Cranston. The wise sage Zordon, who was responsible for capturing Rita (and also being enemies on Zordon's home world, Eltar), later becomes aware of her release and orders his robotic assistant Alpha 5 to select five 'teenagers with attitude' to defend the Earth from Rita's attacks. Upon her release, she and her army of evil space aliens set their sights on conquering the nearest planet-Earth. On an exploratory mission, two astronauts discover an extraterrestrial container (referred to as a dumpster as a result of its smell) and breach the unit, inadvertently releasing the evil alien sorceress Rita Repulsa from 10,000 years of confinement. The series takes place in the fictional town of Angel Grove, California. Main article: Mighty Morphin Power Rangers (re-version)

Due to both the film's financial failure and Hasbro's acquisition of the franchise in 2018, another reboot is in development.

In 2017, a reboot film based on the original series was distributed by Lionsgate, simply titled Power Rangers. Despite mixed reviews, it was a modest financial success, and earned a cult following. Although, two original Power Rangers' movies are currently owned by The Walt Disney Company since 2019.

The original series also spawned the feature film Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie, released by 20th Century Fox on June 30, 1995. With the beginning of Power Rangers Samurai in 2011, the series had moved to Nickelodeon. It was the final Power Rangers season to air on ABC Kids as Haim Saban re-acquired the series from Disney, who took over the rights of the franchise in 2002. Only the first 32 of season one's 60 episodes were remade. In 2010, a remake of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, with a revised new look of the original 1993 logo, comic book-referenced graphics, and extra alternative visual effects, was broadcast on ABC Kids, and Bandai produced brand new toys to coincide with the series. The series was well known for its campy tone. The series was produced by MMPR Productions and distributed by Saban Entertainment, while the show's merchandise was produced and distributed by Bandai Entertainment. Only the mecha and the Kiba Ranger (White Ranger) costume from Dairanger were featured in the second season while only the Kakuranger mecha was featured in the third season, though the Kakuranger costumes were later used for the mini-series Mighty Morphin Alien Rangers. The second and third seasons of the show drew elements and stock footage from Gosei Sentai Dairanger and Ninja Sentai Kakuranger, respectively, though the Zyuranger costumes were still used for the lead cast in these two seasons.
