(male narrator) Our world is in peril.

Gala, the spirit of the Earth, can no longer stand

the terrible destruction plaguing our planet.

She sends five magic rings to five special young people..

Kwame from Africa, with the power of Earth.

From North America, Wheeler, with the power of fire.

[theme music]

From the Soviet Union, Linka, with the power of wind.

From Asia, Gi, with the power of water.

And from South America, Ma-Ti, with the power of heart.

When the five powers combine

they summon Earth's greatest champion

Captain Planet!

(all) Go, Planet!

(Captain Planet) The power is yours!

[instrumental music]

(female #1) ‘We are outside the world's newest nuclear power plant.'

In a moment, we'll be interviewing

the chief engineer, Dr. Borzon.

(automated voice) Danger. Radiation in cooling system.

Another radiation, why couldn't they build this

as perfectly as | designed it?

(automated voice) Danger. Radiation in cooling system. Danger.

Just when | have to give a tour to that snoopy TV reporter.

I'll turn off the alarms and fix it later.

(automated voice) Alarm system stopped, but danger not fixed.

Stop nagging. I'll fix it as soon as | can.

Aha! There's another nuclear power plant starting up

and it's already leaking.

(Leadsuit) ‘Hey, Mr. Nukem, come here. '

They're talking about it on television.

You say this totally automated plant

is the safest in the world?

That's the way | designed it.

We even have state-of-the-art security systems.

Nothing can go wrong.

Ha! It already has.

Duke Nukem's instruments never lie.

What about rumors that the plant has developed

several radiation leaks?

Nonsense, if there were any leaks

all those red lights would be flashing.

You're a liar! Your plant leaks like a sieve.

And I'll make a feast of your leaky radiation.

[dramatic music]

(Leadsuit) It's a big one, Mr. Nukem.

You'll get your fill of radioactivity

‘if we get in.’

Don't be a lead-head.

I'll just zap the security system.

Dr. Borzon said nothing can go wrong.

Well, watch this.

[alarm blaring]

(automated voice) Danger. Security system malfunctioning.

Just what | needed, another breakdown.

(automated voice) Warning. Radiation leak in cooling system.

You still haven't fixed it.

I'll get to it. I'm only human.

Ahh. We're getting close to the leak.

Don't dawdle, lead-head.

Leadsuit, sir.

Whatever. Dig those radioactive neutrons.

They really give me a charge.

(Leadsuit) Radiation's rising, boss.

Time to catch some rays, gamma rays, that is.

[cackles]

[instrumental music]

(Gaia) Planeteers, to the crystal chamber.

(Gi) What is happening, Gaia?

(Gaia) There's a disaster in the making

at the nuclear power plant, Planeteers.

There's enough radiation leaking to fry an egg in its shell.

(Gi) ‘We saw that plant on the news. It's supposed to be 100% safe.'

Nothing is absolutely safe, especially when nuclear power

and human error are involved.

If a nuclear disaster happened, this could be our future

‘a mutated, radioactive Earth..'

",..where people survive only by wearing radiation suits.’

We've got to stop that leak.

And we better do it fast before Duke Nukem finds out.

It would be awful if people really had to wear

these suits all the time.

Radiation poisoning would be worse.

Radiation can cause terrible sickness, like cancer.

And the trouble with radioactivity is

you cannot see it or feel it until it is too late.

At least we will know where it is

with this Geiger counter.

[instrumental music]

(Wheeler) ‘Uh-oh. The Nuke-mobile.'

(Dr. Borzon) That will stop the radiation leak.

Now I'll put the system online

and make sure everything is working.

(Wheeler) Looks like Duke Nukem beat us to it.

(Kwame) And he left a trail of radiation.

"He must have broken in there.’

Stand guard, Mr. Nukem says.

[scoffs] That's crazy. This place is deserted.

It is Leadsuit.

Duke Nukem must be close.

Let's find out.

[gasps] Planeteers.

Where's the Duke, lead-brain?

[gulps] Uh, he's in there.

It figures, he's going for the fastest nuclear fix he can find.

You stay in here while we take care of Duke Nukem.

But I-I'm scared of the dark.

If you were smart, you'd be more scared of your boss.

Come on, Planeteers, let us get the drop

on that radioactive renegade.

Ahh. Ahh.

[gurgling]

Well, if it isn't the Planeteers.

Why don't you grab a rod and go fishin'?

Nuclear "Fission," get it?

[laughs]

Spare us the bad jokes.

The game is over, Nukem.

clang

On the contrary, it's just beginning.

swoosh

What's the matter, Planeteers?

The Duke's gamma rays too much for you?

[clicking rapidly]

The rod is too hot.

Our suits cannot handle it much longer.

Back outside, Planeteers.

This'lIl speed you on your way.

zap

Wind!

Whoa!

splash

Ha! Nice try, Blow-hard.

Ready or not, here | come.

crackle

He'll save me.

He'll save me not.

Oops.

Help! Fire!

crackle

Water!

[gurgling]

Didn't your mother ever tell you not to play with matches?

[groaning]

[breathing heavily] Chort vozmi!

It is hard to run with this heavy suit on.

You should try it carrying a Geiger counter.

[breathing heavily]

Duke Nukem is coming. It is time for teamwork.

Let our powers combine.

- Earth! - Fire!

- Wind. - Water.

Heart.

By your powers combined, | am Captain Planet.

(all) Go, Planet!

[upbeat music]

Uh-oh. | see old Glow-in-the-Dark Nukem

is up to his hazardous high jinks.

Watch out behind you, Captain Planet.

- Hyah! - Huh!

Let's see you dodge my gamma rays, Planet.

Look out, Captain Planet.

Whoa!

Ah, just what | needed, a Duke-catcher.

Time to corral this cancer-causing creep.

[screams]

Don't fence me in!

Just putting you where you belong, Nukem

behind bars.

Get away. Stand back, Planeteers.

This cooling rod is full of radiation.

We have to put it back in the storage vault

where it can't harm anyone.

Any volunteers?

Uh, count me out.

Eight, nine, ten. You're out!

Now, pick up that rod and get going.

[sighs]

Captain Planet, look at the reactor.

(Gi) ‘Radioactive steam, it's heading toward the city.’

(Captain Planet) Don't worry, I'll handle it.

You guys make sure lead-head puts that cooling rod back.

Lead on, Leadsuit.

This lead and cement mixture will patch the leak.

Now to catch that carcinogenic cloud.

[intense music]

Time to bust a little radioactive dust.

swoosh

[whirring]

Now to send this little time bomb

to the heart of the sun, where it can burn up safely.

Planet, out of the stretch. Here's the pitch.

‘Fastball, low and inside.’

‘Strike one.’

I'm heading back to the bench.

The power is yours.

zap

Looks like a wild pitch to me, Captain Planet.

This game is far from over.

[intense music]

(Dr. Borzon) There. | finally fixed the broken security system.

(automated voice) Danger. Intruders in Sector 17.

Those must be more reporters spying on me.

(automated voice) Danger. Intruders have entered cooling-rod storage vault.

| don't want any bad press, it might hurt my career.

I'll Keep the reporters under wraps

until | get all the leaks fixed.

thud

Oh, no. Let us out!

Stand back. I'm going to burn our way out of here.

Fire!

It's no use. Our rings won't work in here.

The radiation leak must be getting worse.

We are trapped.

Zap Zap zap

Aha! There's the nuclear reactor.

Time to heat things up.

(automated voice) ‘Danger! Reactor overload!’

‘Meltdown! Meltdown!’

No!

[indistinct chatter]

Planeteers, we must get out of here.

But our rings will not work.

The reactor's out of control.

| gotta get out of here before it blows.

Oh, no. | forgot about those reporters.

I've got to let them out.

Nothing's happening. Drat it!

I'll have to let them out myself.

| can't let them die there.

thud

They don't have to die.

They could become like me.

boom

You're going to blow us up.

Precisely. I'm going to melt this nuclear power plant

right into the ground.

Who-who are you? Wh-what are you?

Duke Nukem. Radiation King, at your service.

As for what | am..

[pulsating]

...the ignorant call me a mutant.

| prefer to think of myself

‘as the future of mankind’

and | could use a guy like you on my team.

You can be a leader of the nuclear age.

Unlimited power, all the neutrons you can eat.

Are you with me or against me?

Scientists don't take sides.

Scientists aren't supposed to lie, either, but you do.

You're my kind of guy, doc.

Maybe | was, but I'm not now, not after meeting you.

Perhaps | can change your mind.

Come with me.

~ My name is Duke Nukem J

~l'm a nuclear shark f

~l'm hotter than Elvis ~

~ And | glow in the dark! JJ

‘Nothing like a hot radioactive shower'

to make you feel like a million volts, eh, doc?

Sure you won't join me?

[stammering] No, thanks.

Take your time.

(Wheeler) Hey, Leadsuit, why don't you clean up your act

and come work with us?

No way, when Duke Nukem takes over the world

I'm going to be second in command.

And you and your Captain Planet can't stop us.

(Dr. Borzon) Come on. There's a mutant maniac loose.

- The plant is going to blow. - We're out of here.

[intense music]

Oh, my. They're getting away.

I've got to warn Mr. Nukem.

Well, doc, you're awfully quiet over there.

Duke, Duke, the doc let the Planeteers go.

And | thought he and | were pals.

We've got to stop those Planeteers

before they call up Captain Goody-Goody.

[gasping]

No running in the halls.

[laughs]

Back off, Nukem, I'm warning you.

Oh, boy. Dueling-death-rays.

Choke on this, planetoid-brat.

Fire!

[pulsating]

Get out of here. I'll hold him off.

Let me give you a hand.

Water!

[pattering]

You're getting my Hawaiian shirt all wet.

(Leadsuit) ‘Duke, they're getting away.’

[alarm blaring]

Can we do anything to stop this nuclear plant from blowing up?

It's-it's too late. Hurry. Everybody out.

[hissing]

Hold this, Ma-Ti.

| am going to slow Duke Nukem down.

[gushing]

There, that will hold him for a moment

long enough for us to call Captain Planet.

clang

Whoa!

[screams]

Whoa-a!

[screaming]

Let our powers combine.

Earth.

Fire!

- Wind! - Water!

Heart!

[pulsating]

By your powers combined, | am Captain Planet.

(all) Go, Planet!

Has our radioactive Duke been acting up again?

Worse than ever. He is causing a meltdown.

Uh-oh. Disaster time.

You said it, Planet.

thud

Taste the rejuvenated nuclear powers

of the Grand Duke!

Can't we settle this peacefully, Nukem?

Sure, Captain Planet.

I'll blast you to pieces.

[Zapping]

Oh! Uh! This is getting old.

[grunts]

How dare you trash my Nuke-mobile?

| just had it painted!

Take this, Planet.

zap

[rumbling]

| knew | shouldn't have made

that fender out of lead.

Take a dive, Duke.

Bye-bye.

[screams]

| need some way to keep these two out of action.

We have lead foil in the storage room behind that wall.

| like your prescription, doctor.

[grunts]

You'll pay for this, Planet.

Aw, don't be mad, Dukie.

I've always thought of you as royalty.

That's why I'm giving you

the lead-carpet treatment.

[Duke growling]

That should keep you under wraps.

Now I've got a meltdown to stop.

[upbeat music]

[alarm blaring]

Wow. This is worse than | thought.

I'm going to have to cool off this time bomb

by changing into liquid nitrogen.

‘If my big chill doesn't work this'll be worse than Chernobyl’

‘and Three Mile Island put together.’

"That did it.'

But now | have to get rid of these fast.

[rumbling]

It's too late, Captain Planet.

You can't stop the meltdown.

Wrong again, Nuclear-Noggin. That's strike two.

[grunts]

‘And here's strike three. '

There's the heater, right down the center.

You're out, Nukem.

The game's over, and you lose.

But what will we do for power?

There is a safer way to get it.

Geothermal power, power from the heat of the Earth's core.

No radiation.

Gi is right, and you won't have to worry

about nuclear terrorists like Duke Nukem.

You win the battle, Planet, but you haven't won the war.

The world's still full of nuclear power plants

and nuclear warheads, there will be other accidents.

| will have my day, then everyone will be like me.

[sinister laugh]

Not while I'm here to stop you, Nukem

and not while there are kids like these

‘in the world to help me.’

If | drill a hole down to the lava layer..

| can build a geothermal plant.

It's a deal, Captain Planet.

Pardon me while | go for a spin.

[upbeat music]

[whirring]

[all cheering]

The power is yours!

- Yay, Captain Planet! - Yay!

zap

Can | take off my radiation suit now?

With Captain Planet's help

you may never have to wear one again.

[instrumental music]

[mechanical whirring]

You must be very happy, Dr. Borzon.

Your geothermal plant is a great success.

Thank you.

I'd like to dedicate this plant to those

who really made it possible.

To Captain Planet and the Planeteers.

May they continue to show us

how to keep the world safe for everyone.

[all cheering]

(all) Go, Planet!

(Captain Planet) We all take energy for granted, but power has its price.

(Gaia) Think about it, when you turn on your lights or stereo

you're using up energy.

But you are also using up Earth's resources

and contributing to pollution.

We need energy, but we also need to use it wisely.

Don't waste it.

Turn off the lights and TV

when you are not in the room.

The little things you do at home

can make a big difference for our planet.

The power to save power is yours.

Earth!

- Fire! - Wind!

- Water! - Heart!

(all) Go, Planet!

(Captain Planet) By your powers combined

| am Captain Planet!
