First up on our hero roster is the Red Ranger, known as Jason Lee Scott in the TV show and played by Austin St. John. In the fictional town of Angel Grove, California, Jason seems to be a typical high school jock type of guy, obsessed with martial arts and not much else. But his big heart and willingness to help others makes him the leader of the Rangers as well as their best fighter.
For those of you who only have hazy memories of the show (and we don't blame you - the various plots were largely forgettable), the big evil is Rita, released from an alien container on Earth and intent on taking it over. Only her old nemesis, another alien called Zordon, finds some "teenagers with attitude" to become the Rangers and deal with the threat.
