In the present day, Rita Repulsa will steal gold to try to reform Goldar, and the Power Rangers will only have 71 hours to stop her from accomplishing this goal.
Apparently Rita is trying to steal the Zeo crystal for her master, Lord Zedd, who supposedly burned off half of his face attempting to steal the artifact himself.
The movie’s opening action sequence, which takes place on Ancient Earth will reportedly see Goldar being “vaporized into a cloud of microscopic gold particles,” but his “molecular essence” will be scattered across the globe.
While one might think at first that once she has the crystal in her hands, Rita will destroy it so she can eliminate the Rangers once and for all, that may not actually be the case.
