Our world is in peril.
Gaia, 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.
[ Sirens wailing ]
From North America... Wheeler, with the power of fire.
♪♪
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!
Linka: We are down to 5% battery power.
Take her down to sea level in case we have to ditch.
30 seconds to sunrise.
We need solar power fast!
Power at zero!
Come on, sun!
Ah!
Whew!
Yay! Yay! Yay!
On our next night mission,
let's take a few more battery packs, okay?
Hmm. This is strange. That island is not on our maps.
Gi: Let's drive by and take a look.
How can it be night already?
Linka: Today is a solar eclipse!
And we are in its path!
Rig for crash, everyone!
Ah!
Wow!
It is not possible. All batteries are fully recharged.
Let's land and find out what is going on.
Hello. Welcome to Sun Island.
Suchi: [ Chittering ]
Whoever you are, thank you.
I'm Professor Apollo. And you are...?
Beautiful!
Ah. Meet my daughter and lab assistant, Karen.
Karen.
I'm so glad you weren't hurt.
Come on. Karen and I will show you around.
Everything here on Sun Island runs on solar energy.
But how did you power such a strong beam during an eclipse?
[ Beeping ] Oh, excuse me.
That's my experiment. Karen will explain our work.
See you, Professor.
Hey, Kwame. Kwame?
Yes?
Man, this guy is mushed!
Ha ha ha! I'm mushed, too.
If this "mushed" means "immature,"
then you certainly are.
Women.
Watch out!
[ Click ]
Ah! Ah!
Sorry. We have triggers for the security system
all over the lab.
Last year, Daddy invented this.
It looks like a tiny sun.
Well, in a way, it is.
It's a solar battery 100 times more efficient
than anything on the market.
And solar is the cleanest form of energy.
Uh-oh. Planeteers.
I've got to get that nuke box out of there.
Oh, hello, Zed.
This is Daddy's other lab assistant, Zed Lute.
Your, uh... Your dad wants this.
Got to go.
Hmm.
What was the beam that saved our Geo-Cruiser?
Our solar bean? It's projected sunlight.
This is a small version
of the one on top of the volcano.
That big one can beam enough power
from the solar battery to run a city.
Oh!
Oh.
Ugh!
Some experiment.
Zed Lute.
Why does he seem so familiar?
These are all inventions that run off the sun
or the solar battery...
A complete solar stove and oven,
a solar-powered desalinization plant,
cars with solar batteries, which can be recharged for free,
and this is passive solar power.
We can cool or heat our lab
by opening or closing off the caves beneath us.
What are these, Karen?
Oh. It's just some stuff that I invented.
Mama!
Radical!
Mama!
[ Chitters ]
Ha ha ha! Ha ha ha!
Incredible! Your dad's solar battery can power anything.
Yes, but such power must be used with care.
It could also cause great harm.
What do you mean?
Like... a death ray.
My father's no fool!
He'd never let his inventions be used for destruction!
Excuse me. I have work to do.
Smooth, Kwame. Real smooth.
But something is wrong here.
That strange lab assistant.
Led Zute? I mean, Zed Lute?
[ Gasps ] That is it, Wheeler... Led Zute!
It is Leadsuit!
I knew I heard that voice before.
Where there's smoke, there's fire.
You mean...
Exactly! Duke Nukem!
Dr. Nukem.
Uh, sir?
Over here, Leadhead!
That's Leadsu-u-u-it!
Ah!
Give me my nuke box!
Let's see if my converter transformed that sunlight
into lethal radiation.
Ah, yes!
These gamma rays really light up my life.
Ha ha ha!
There is one problem, sir.
The Planeteers are here.
What?
No!
If people hear about Apollo's solar battery,
the whole world will go solar!
So?
Idiot! Solar power doesn't create nuclear waste!
How am I supposed to keep this healthy glow?
Gamma rays from your nuke box, sir?
Yes. But to power that, I need the solar battery.
Ah!
Oh!
Bring her along.
We can use a hostage
in case Daddy refuses to cooperate.
Karen!
Uh! Ah! Let me go!
Earth!
Oh! Oh!
Run, Karen!
Ah ha! Ha ha ha!
[ Panting ]
Ah! Ah! Ah!
Wind!
Water!
Our rings! They don't work!
This finger's loaded!
One false move, and the lady gets it!
I cannot leave her.
You can't help her like this.
We need the Geo-Cruiser.
Ha ha ha!
Huh?
What are you doing with my daughter?
Back off, Professor.
For a scientist,
you're not very observant.
I'm using her to take over your lab.
Daddy, run!
Ah! Ah!
Is this any way to treat your new boss?
Tie her up, Leadbrain.
Sir, my name is Leadsuit.
Those Planet brats are back!
Your name is mud
if you don't get me that nuke box, fast!
Now we hook up my nuke box
and convert your wimpy solar beam
into a real death ray!
Nukem has Karen in the lab.
Time for some eco-skeet shooting.
Ha ha!
No!
Kwame!
I'd like to show Duke Nukem how we fight fire with fire.
Ah!
Sorry. Hey, my ring works again!
Nukem just knocked it out temporarily.
Still, fire will not help us survive this crash.
Check your seat belts, everyone! We're going down!
So, are we gonna hang around here all day or what?
I should have stayed with Karen.
Yeah, right.
After the Duke knocks out your ring with a nuclear bolt?
It would not help Karen to see you fried like a piece of bacon.
Finito!
All systems functioning.
Where's Linka?
I have found a cave full of bats!
Linka, we got to find you a hobby.
Oh, so funny.
Just follow me, Mr. Smart-Alexy-Pants.
Hey, I'd follow you anywhere.
Bats?
[ Chittering ]
Now, Professor, I need you to link my nuke box
to your giant beam projector.
It could overload and blow us all up.
You must be insane!
Enough with the flattery. Just do it!
I want plenty of radiation to knock out Captain Planet.
I will never turn my invention into a weapon.
Okay, Professor.
I can always amuse myself by nuking your daughter.
Then we can have a look-alike contest.
Don't listen to him, Daddy.
All right, you glowing ghoul.
I'll do it.
I kind of thought you would.
How will this help rescue Karen and her father?
Patience, Kwame.
We must take Nukem by surprise.
One of these must lead to the caves
that heat and cool the laboratory.
But which one? We could be looking forever!
Kwame's right. We... Ah!
I get it! The bats must know these caves.
Heart!
Follow that bat.
Thank you, little friend.
[ Squeaking ]
Karen is through here.
You see? We found the correct cave... how do you say...
Right off the bat.
Oh!
[ Footsteps approach ]
Kwame: Karen!
Kwame! You're all right!
Yes. Move away from the grate.
Earth!
Oh, Kwame, I'm sorry. You were right.
Nukem's forcing my father
to use his inventions for evil.
Hey! Check this out!
Building materials for the laboratory, da?
Da, like cement and... lead powder?
The lead was for radiation shielding,
but now all our experiments are with solar power.
That gives me an idea!
Show me how it works... now!
If the switch is down, it powers the small solar beam.
Up powers the giant one on the mountain.
But I tell you, the system can't handle all the radiation!
It will... Ah ha ha!
Lovely gamma rays!
Hey, radial face!
Pbbt!
You little Planet punk! I'll turn you into toast!
[ Coughing ]
Wind!
Hey!
Water!
All wet? I'll dry you off.
Fire!
That sure gives him a rad new look.
Uh-oh. I'm out of here.
That should hold him!
Then again, maybe not.
We must get out of here!
I warned him that radioactive nuke box is overloading!
I must shut off the power.
I've got to help Daddy!
Nyet! We will unleash the power of teamwork.
Let our powers combine.
Earth!
Fire!
Wind!
Water!
Heart!
By your powers combined,
I am Captain Planet!
Go, Planet!
[ Crackling ]
Ah!
I must undo that lunatic's scheme.
Ah!
Nobody can stop me from nuking this Planet,
starting with Captain Planet.
Smile, Planet.
You're on candid gamma ray.
Ah!
Radiation!
Ah!
I've got to bypass to the nuke box...
shift to sunlight.
Ah.
Oh. Whew!
Here comes the sun.
Nukem: He's getting stronger!
Now, who did this, Professor?
And now to finish you off with the big guns.
Uh. Uh.
I can't leave you alone for a second.
You'll never be able to aim the giant beam now.
It's out of control!
No problem. I'll just charge myself up.
Uhh! This beam is a bummer.
Soon I'll be beaming with pride.
All I need is one good charge.
Uhh!
Daddy! No!
Wait here.
Kwame, come back!
Ohh!
Aah!
Pardon me for dropping in, Planet, but I need a charge.
Hey! Hey! Come here!
Give me the juice!
Uhh! Back off, Duke.
You're not in charge yet.
I got to play keep-away from that ray.
Ha ha! Come to Papa!
Yes! More power!
Give me everything you've got!
Hey! Who pulled the rug out from under me?
Aah!
We must leave. Where is Wheeler?
Somebody call a taxi?
We've got to destroy the beam,
or the entire ocean will be flooded with radiation.
You take off, guys.
Time for me to dish out some punishment.
Boy, have I got a shock for you, Nukem.
Yay!
The solution came to me like a bolt out of the blue!
And now, the power is yours!
Ahh. What happened?
Where are we?
Don't you remember?
No.
The electric shock
must have affected his memory.
Let me out!
We're sealed in!
Mama.
Look. Isn't that cute, sir?
You think that's cute, Leadlips?
I'll show you cute!
Oh. Ow!
Sir? Ow! Ow!
Now, that's cute.
Ohh. Oh, my.
[ Thud ]
I can't remember any of my research.
What a loss.
Do not worry, Professor.
I am sure the two of you can reinvent your solar battery.
There is no force so powerful as an idea whose time has come.
One thing I will not forget...
I will be sure my inventions are never used again for evil.
And there's something I'll never forget, Kwame...
You.
Go, Planet! Planeteers:
The sun is our greatest source of natural energy.
Someday we may use sunlight to power everything.
On a cold day, open the curtains and let in the sun's heat.
And on hot days, block out the sun
and use your air-conditioner less.
The technology is here.
We can build solar panels,
hot-water heaters, even solar cars.
The more we shift to solar power,
the healthier our planet will be.
The power is yours!
Planeteers: 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!
By your powers combined, I am Captain Planet!
