Synopsis[]
When Buldont decides to steal humans to make a movie showing humanity the errors of their ways, the Ohrangers pursue in order to get them back.
Plot[]
Buldont, Acha and Kocha arrives at Buldont Studios, a movie studio created by Buldont to make a movie.
Some kids are cycling on the streets while Camera Trick, a bird-like Machine Beast spies on them. Suddenly the children all disappeared without a trace. At UAOH, the rangers receive reports of the incident and head out to investigate. On the way, they receive a broadcast from Acha of a movie being filmed by Buldont Studios. The studio is handing out auditions for it, with a 10 million yen reward to all participants. Of course, the reward is a lie, with Camera Trick forcefully adopting various civilians. Goro and Juri witnessed the creature adopting a girl named Misako, and subsequently gave chase. They followed the creature to a car park, where they encounter a man selling balloons. The man then sets himself on fire and explodes, revealing to be a Barlo Soldier in disguise to throw off Camera Trick's pursuers.
The kids and Misako appear in front of Buldont Studios, where they're greeted by Locker Knight on horseback. Another robot that's driving a van coaxes the kids into it, and they follow suit. They are brought onto a movie set, where they marvel and the surreal-looking movie set before them. Acha greets them, introducing himself as the producer. He has the kids put on VR-headsets, where they experience a hyper-realistic virtual world. In the virtual world, Acha hands out cash to all the supposed actors on a steam locomotive. Cat Signal, the conductor of the train announces they are arriving at a town called Senjogahara.
The chief has discovered the location of Buldont Studios, and sends the Ohrangers there. The rangers infiltrate the compound, unknowing to them, it was all a part of Buldont's script. In the virtual world, everyone disembark from the train and gets on a van, where the kid in the yellow jacket notices the train vanishing from reality. The kids are in a van in the real world, where they are moved. The van coincidentally drove past Goro and Juri, who fails to notice the kids inside. At this moment, Kabochumpkin appeared.
Meanwhile, Shouhei, Yuji and Momo encounters a mysterious man alongside a seemingly sentient mannequin. The man notices them and attacks them with bolts of electricity from his guitar, which also knocks him out. The rangers remove his mask to reveal he's human. They sneak into the movie studio, where they're attacked by the various prop vehicles. Momo was taken by Kabochumpkin, Shouhei and Yuji morph to fight the Machine Beast. OhBlue and OhGreen manage to hold off the creature long enough for Momo to break free and join the fight as OhPink. Meanwhile, Goro and Juri fight Cat Signal and Faucetchuck. Faucetchuck seemingly runs out of power mid-battle, much to Buldont's chagrin. Faucetchuck made a speedy escape.

Continuity and Placement[]
Although the movie was released between episodes 7 and 8, it actually takes place between 8 and 9, due to Butlers Acha & Kocha being equipped with their growth beam, which is granted to them after the Ohrangers' first use of Ohranger Robo.
