(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]

[alarm blaring]

bam bam

bam

- Whoa! - Whoa!

crash

(Wheeler) There's the runaway barge

and it's spilling some kind of toxic yuck!

(Kwame) ‘That "Yuck" threatens the entire river.’

swoosh

But what can we use to stop it?

Not fire, too dangerous.

How about...water?

[pulsating]

[gushing]

splash

(Kwame) ‘Nice try, Gi.'

‘Only now there is more pollution than ever'

‘spilling into the river.’

| think it's time for a team beam.

You are right, Wheeler. Let our powers combine.

Earth!

- Fire! - Wind!

- Water! - Heart!

zap

By your powers combined, | am Captain Planet!

(all) Go, Planet!

Uh-oh! If | don't contain those chemicals

we're in for a serious spill!

Time for me to barge in!

[upbeat music]

"Barge in." Hmm.

[laughs] That gives me an idea.

First, take some sand..

[grunts] ...then to turn up the heat.

‘Presto!’

Barge in a bottle!

Hm! | always did want a hobby.

[rumbling]

Now to put a cork in it.

splash

- Alright! - He's done it again!

We will make sure that toxic mess

gets cleaned up, Captain Planet.

[swirling]

The power is yours!

(Looten Plunder) ‘Welcome to the S.S. Plunder'

‘the ultimate planet-plundering machine’

‘the best mercenaries money can buy'

an all-terrain attack force ready to loot entire continents

of their natural resources. Ha-ha.

And it's all rotten cheese

if Captain Planet gets in our way.

| hate to agree with the rat, but Skumm's right!

(Dr. Blight) For a change, we all agree.

Captain Planet and the Planeteers must be stopped.

And my latest secret invention should do the trick.

Show them, MAL, baby.

Anything you say, my toxic bombshell.

‘This is our new molecular duplicator.’

‘It can analyze any object and create an evil opposite.’

[mechanical whirring]

[crackling]

[snarls]

Behold!

An evil duplicate of the rabbit.

I'm sure the Planeteers will find your invention

a "Hare-raising" experience.

But what's the real deal, doc?

Maybe this will ring your bell, nuke-head.

(MAL) ‘Their rings give the Planeteers superpowers.’

Their rings also summon Captain Planet.

Therefore..

Are you saying that machine can make

evil duplicates of the Planeteers’ rings?

Precisely!

Once we get our hands on the originals, of course.

(Gi) ‘Just another typical Planeteer day.’

‘First, a burning barge and now, a distress call’

‘coming from that island.’

But there is no one in sight.

Then who sent the distress signal?

swoosh

(Sludge) ‘Ha-ha! Plunder was right!’

Those planet-patsies couldn't resist

our phony distress call.

Time for a rat attack.

Target dead ahead. Launch the sleeping gas.

hiss

‘Nighty-night, Planeteers.’

[dramatic music]

[coughing]

l...can't stay...awake.

swoosh

Got to...stay awake.

[rumbling]

(Sludge) ‘Let's get those rings!’

[beeping]

Like taking candy from a baby.

[groggily] Stop! What are you doing?

Taking you and your rings for a little ride.

No. You can't.

[music continues]

What's that?

[engine rumbling]

Get off this island! Get off this island now!

Hey. Plunder said this island was deserted.

Where'd that soldier come from?

(male #1) 'This is a restricted area.’

Leave now or suffer the consequences.

splash

Forget the kids! We got the rings! Let's scram!

swoosh

Oh.

"Oh..." Is right.

That was one rough landing.

Who are you? Why have you come to this island?

We heard a distress signal.

| sent no distress signal. Take your friends and leave.

This island is a restricted area.

[engine rumbling]

Skumm and Sludge, they took our rings!

[intense music]

(Looten Plunder) You blunderers!

| told you to bring back the Planeteers!

Oh, yeah, but you said that island would be deserted.

Deserted? Ha!

We barely got out of that rat-trap

with our skins intact..

...and the rings.

The rings aren't enough!

Those Planeteers are too dangerous to us on the loose!

You want 'em? You go get 'em.

Enough!

Perhaps that mysterious soldier who drove you off can help us.

MAL, darling

activate the military information database.

Exactly what / was about to suggest.

First, I'll access his name and authorization code.

Then I'll pretend I'm calling from his headquarters

and trick him into doing our dirty work.

‘Calling Island Commander Clash. '

(Commander Clash) ‘This is Clash. Identify yourself.’

Commander Blight, authorization code LV6.

LV6? Authorization code correct.

| haven't heard from headquarters in years. Proceed!

Called to warn you our signal is being jammed.

Listen carefully.

Spies have landed on your island

you must stop them.

Those children? Spies?

Now the enemy sends children to try to trick me!

[sighs] Very well. | will do my duty.

The enemy must be dealt with.

We cannot repair the damage, Gi?

There is only one possibility.

Well, hold on there.

If you're gonna go ask that dude

with the mile-high muscles, count me out.

Without help, we may never get off this island, Wheeler.

We must find him.

Man, what | wouldn't give to get my ring back.

(Looten Plunder) ‘Hurry, Blight, put the Planeteers’ rings'

‘in your molecular duplicator.'

Patience, Plunder, this won't take long.

[mechanical whirring]

[Zapping]

[crackling]

[laughs]

It worked!

Of course it worked.

Gentlemen, your rings of destruction.

For Duke Nukem, the power of super-radiation.

(MAL) ‘For Looten Plunder, the power of deforestation!’

(Dr. Blight) For Sly Sludge, the power of smog.

(MAL) ‘For Verminous Skumm, the power of toxics!’

And pour moi, the power of hate.

With the Planeteers out of the way..

The world is ours!

[intense music]

What is a soldier doing out here so far from anywhere?

[screams]

I'll tell you what he's doing!

He's scaring the daylights out of me!

(Commander Clash) | intend to do more than scare you, spy.

| warned you to get off my island

and still, you brazenly seek me out?

Sir, we come in peace to ask--

Silence! Do not try to fool me!

| have been warned about you

and now, I'm taking all of you prisoner.

Do not bother to run, you will not get far!

This way! Back to the Geo-Cruiser!

[screams]

Gi, where are you? Whoa!

[gasps] Ma-Ti!

Give up, spies, you're all my prisoners.

Run! Run, before he gets you, too!

Wheeler, we must fight back!

Use guerrilla tactics, set traps!

[breathing heavily] He will track us down!

Kwame's right. We must set a trap for this guy.

[breathing heavily] Da, but if the trap does not work

the Planeteers are finished!

Help! Help me!

Someone, please help me!

[dramatic music]

| have caught you, spy.

Though this brings me no pleasure.

[screams]

You were the perfect bait for the perfect trap.

Yes, but as our opponent just said

this brings me no pleasure.

Okay, General Tough-Guy, why are you after us?

And what did you do with our friends?

Emil Clash, Commander, 3-2-8-9-7-8-5-5.

What kind of answer is that?

Name, rank, and serial number

the only answer a good soldier gives

when he's captured by the enemy.

Only we are not your enemy, Commander Clash.

We just want to know where our friends are

and how to get off this island.

1 am a soldier, | will tell you nothing.

Ah, give us a break. Tell us!

Emil Clash, Commander, 3-2-8-9-7-8-5-5.

[cracking]

(Wheeler) Look out, big guy, your tree is..

snap

splash

You should have calculated the strength of the branch, spy.

[yells]

- Quicksand! - Careful!

If we grab him, we will be pulled down with him!

Oh! Ah!

We must save him! Ohh.

Too bad we do not have our rings!

If we had 'em, we wouldn't be in this mess in the first place.

[intense music]

(Skumm) "These rings are great, Plunder.’

Watch me waste the place.

Toxics!

zap

[rumbling]

hiss

Hey, guys, if you think that's hot

check this out!

Super-radiation!

(Plunder) ‘Oh, no! My million-dollar antiaircraft gun!’

Watch this!

Smog!

Stop! Stop, you idiot!

Hey, loosen up, Looten. We're just having some fun!

Quiet, you fools!

You got something up your sleeve, Blight?

The Planeteers use their rings to create Captain Planet.

If we combine the polluting powers of our rings

what would we create?

Hopefully havoc, but let's find out.

Then let our polluting powers combine!

Super-radiation!

Deforestation!

Smog!

Toxics!

Hate!

[pulsating]

By your polluting powers combined

| am Captain Pollution!

[laughs]

(all) ‘Go, Pollution!

[grunting with effort]

[straining] Hold on, Commander Clash!

We...will... pull...you...out!

[yelling]

This is hard for me to say

but...thank you.

You saved my life, so | will spare yours.

We are even, spies.

Chort vozmi! He still thinks we are spies!

He is hopeless!

Commander Clash!

We helped you, now we need your help.

Follow me, | will take you to the others.

Talk about your basic man of few words.

Few words, but many feelings.

[engine rumbling]

[dramatic music]

[exhales]

These toxic chemicals feel wonderful!

Just as Captain Planet

renews himself with the powers of Earth..

(MAL) ‘Our captain needs pollution to renew his energies. '

- 'Simply fascinating.’ - Can the lecture, doc.

Now that we've got General Pollution..

What do we do with him?

It's Captain Pollution, lame-brains

and we send him after the Planeteers, of course.

But that Clash-guy should have those brats under wraps by now.

Just the same, I'd sleep better

knowing the Planeteers were history.

But without their rings, what threat are they to us?

The Planeteers are very resourceful, Plunder.

They might figure out a way to destroy your new army

and short-circuit all your plans.

Oh, no. $400 million down the drain?

That's a lot of cash in the trash!

We can't have that!

[music continues]

Then we simply send in my new creation

to finish off the Planeteers once and for all!

- 'This is my camp.’ - 'Hey, neat!’

(Wheeler) ‘He's got a solar generator and a water wheel.’

(Linka) Pure, clean power. No pollution.

Just what every country in this world needs, Commander Clash.

What my country needs is a watchdog

who never closes his eyes.

Check it out! Some kind of radar defense system!

(Kwame) ‘Now we know why Clash is on this island’

he is helping to protect some country somewhere.

A watchdog, that's what he called himself.

A watchdog who never closes his eyes!

| do not care why he is here

| just want him to release Ma-Ti and Gi.

Your friends are in here.

Here goes.

[whirring]

- 'Ma-Til!’ -'Gil'

(Ma-Ti) ‘Wow, are we glad to see you!’

But what are you doing here?

Did that crazy soldier capture you, too?

(Commander Clash) No, he did not!

The crazy soldier is letting you all go.

[clanging]

Now leave me. | have work to do.

What's he doing?

Clash operates a radar defense screen

over his country.

Perhaps he is not aware there is no more enemy.

Commander Clash, may | show you something on that monitor?

No. | have been ordered never to break radio silence.

| must not contact anyone.

| will radio no one.

| can access what | need through our computer.

No one will know. May I?

Spasiba.

(Kwame) ‘The world has changed, commander.'

‘Borders are opening, a new peace has begun. '

The enemy you were guarding against

no longer exists.

(Commander Clash) This is a lie!

[static]

You saw the truth with your own eyes, commander.

Accept it.

This radar station is no longer needed.

Home base, this is Watchdog.

Report, home base. ls Watchdog necessary?

Report.

[indistinct chatter on radio]

Watchdog no longer necessary.

Obsolete.

If this station is obsolete..

...s0 am |.

But that is not true!

You are brave and intelligent.

The world will always need people like you.

When we leave this island

we want you to come with us, Commander Clash.

No. | am like this equipment, no longer needed..

... obsolete.

bam

[crackling]

[clanking]

(Linka) At least Clash gave us tools to repair the Geo-Cruiser.

Yes, but it is too bad he lacks the courage to come with us.

What are you talking about?

Clash is just about the bravest guy | ever met!

To fight an enemy, yes, but to face a new world? No.

Ma-Ti is right.

The greatest courage is the courage to change

and | fear the commander may not find that courage.

There's the Geo-Cruiser.

AS soon as we repair it, we can go after our rings.

[rumbling]

[dramatic music]

Unh-unh-unh.

You're not going anywhere, Planeteers!

[stammering] Who are you?

Why, I'm Captain Pollution, dude

created from evil duplicates of your rings!

And | have a little surprise for you.

snap

And that's just the beginning, Planeteers

the beginning of the end

‘for you and all your do-gooder friends!’

[screaming]

(all) Go, Planet!

(Captain Planet) The health of our planet relies on the health of its people.

To reach the highest heights..

And win the fight to save our planet..

We must have strength..

Endurance..

And courage!

(Wheeler) Our minds..

And our bodies must be in shape.

Stay fit.

The power is yours!

Earth!

- Fire! - Wind!

- Water! - Heart!

(all) Go, Planet!

(Captain Planet) By your powers combined

| am Captain Planet!
