Zoom Production Notes
Tagline: They're going to save the world... as long as they're home for dinner.
Revolution Studios’ comedy Zoom is the story of four kids who, because of their extraordinary powers, just can't seem to fit in. With the help of Jack (Tim Allen), a.k.a. Captain Zoom, an out-of-shape former superhero who has lost his powers, they learn how to make use of their special skills and become superheroes intent on saving the world from certain destruction ... as long as they make it home in time for dinner. Underage, undercover and underestimated, these kids form a team the likes of which the world has never seen.
Four kids (Spencer Breslin, Kate Mara, Ryan Newman and Michael Cassidy) -- one big problem. They each possess a unique special power that sets them apart from everybody else their age. They also have something else in common -- they just want to be normal. Now it’s up to a down-on-his-luck former superhero once known as Captain Zoom (Tim Allen) to teach them how to harness their extraordinary talents and save the world from certain destruction! If anybody can convince him to do so.
A little backstory. Many years ago, there was a colossal battle between the Team Zenith (led by the faster-than-light Captain Zoom) and their arch-nemeses, Concussion. Zoom finally destroyed Concussion, but not before his entire team was slain at the hands of Concussion’s sonic blasts. As the dust settled, secret departments within the military were already disseminating an “official” story: The turbulence was caused by an earthquake. When it was discovered that Captain Zoom had sacrificed all his powers to defeat his enemy, the military no longer had any use for him, and he once again became simply Jack Shepard.
After many years, the masterminds behind the old Zenith Program, General Larraby (Rip Torn) and Dr. Grant (Chevy Chase), have reunited after detecting alarming patterns of disruption from the dimensions beyond that could threaten the fabric of human life. Their only hope is to reactivate the Zenith Program. A new talent in the studies of latent supernatural abilities, Marsha Holloway (Courteney Cox), finds four youngsters with the potential to be superhero fighters. But the reluctant quartet needs someone to teach them how to save the world -- and fast! -- and there’s only one man for the job, Jack Shepard.
