The ancients once wrote that a crown encrusted with seven magnificent jewels would bestow ultimate power. Originally dismissed as mythical folklore, the “Crown Aurora” has been discovered by dark forces. Five brave teens set out on an exciting global treasure hunt to track down the missing jewels, before evil finds them and gains unstoppable power. Our world and the entire universe’s fate rests in the hands of “Power Rangers: Operation Overdrive.”

For more than 14 years, Power Rangers has remained one of the top boys’ action brands in the United States. In 2007, Bandai America will introduce a versatile and expansive line of toys to support the new treasure hunting-themed series and celebrate the brand’s 15th season on air – a milestone achievement. Debuting in March, the new series will air in 57 timeslots each week in the Jetix action/adventure block on Toon Disney and on the ABC Television Network every Saturday morning.
