To start off is Jason the Red Ranger, and he is described as a former high school legend, who excels at football as a quarter back. His skills in the game could provide a future career for him until a car accident that blew up his knee. The accident changed his life thinking his career is over and became lost. In the film, he is labeled as "a kid in need of redemption" and by the end he will step up to lead the rest of the teens and block out any personal baggage to unite as a team.

Kimbery, who is known as the Pink Ranger of the group, is described as "unconventionally cool" among the crowd making her very popular in school. Kimberly returned to school after a mysterious six month absence and care less about the rumors that were hinting on her.

Zack is the Black Ranger like his TV counterpart is the life of the party filled with bravado and swagger. he described as tough, cool and has no problem expressing himself especially with the ladies.
