Power Rangers Time Force
Power Rangers: Time Force is the ninth incarnation of the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers series. It is unique in the fact that the overall story is considerably darker than many of the other incarnations. Like Power Rangers: Lightspeed Rescue before it and Power Rangers: Wild Force after it, the Power Rangers are adults and not teenagers. Based on Mirai Sentai Time Renjaa (Future Task Force Time Ranger)
Synopsis
In the year 3000, mankind has developed a utopia, with a police organization called Time Force capturing all but one criminal. However, this criminal, Ransik, manages to hijack a prison full of cryogenically frozen convicts and escape back to the past, but not before badly injuring Alex, the Red Ranger. Four Time Force officers attempt to pursue Ransik to the year 2001, but end up being stranded in the fictional town of Silver Hills. In the end, Ransik surrenders peacefully when he nearly kills his own daughter, Nadira, who was trying to protect a baby.
A recurring theme in this series is the fact that an individual controls his own destiny, and must fight for a desirable future. Because of the September 11th attacks, many episodes were re-edited after their first airing to remove potentially offensive material, such as buildings being blown up.
