Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie is a 1997 American superhero action science fantasy film directed by David Winning and Shuki Levy. It is set in the Power Rangers universe, serving as a bridge between Power Rangers Zeo and Power Rangers Turbo. The film was produced by Saban Entertainment and, like Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie, distributed by 20th Century Fox.
The film was released on March 28, 1997. In its opening weekend, the film played on 2,113 screens, and pulled in $3,301,135, finishing in seventh place domestically. It ultimately grossed $8,363,899 theatrically in the U.S. and $9,615,840 worldwide.
Unlike Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie, this film takes place within the continuity of the television series. The first episode of Power Rangers Turbo takes place after the movie. The Ranger suits were spandex rather than the armor-like suits of the first movie, and the Zords and Megazord were also costumed rather than computer-generated animation. Certain sets and costumes from the movie, such as the Power Chamber set, the Alpha costume, and the Maligore costume, were also used in the television show (with the latter being modified and reused as Dark Specter in Power Rangers in Space).

Famous quotes containing the word power:
“Another success is the post-office, with its educating energy augmented by cheapness and guarded by a certain religious sentiment in mankind; so that the power of a wafer or a drop of wax or gluten to guard a letter, as it flies over sea over land and comes to its address as if a battalion of artillery brought it, I look upon as a fine meter of civilization.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
