Rise of the Rookies is the first-ever Hero Factory feature-length film. It was directed by Mark Baldo and split into four parts to be broadcast as a television show.

Synopsis[]

Welcome to the Hero Factory. A place where the most advanced and skilled Heroes in the universe are built to serve one function – saving the world from evil.

The Alpha 1 Team leader Preston Stormer is the best and toughest Hero at the Hero Factory. It helps that he has Dunkan Bulk and Jimi Stringer on his team, but he is driven by something deep inside of him. Years ago, when he was still just a Rookie, he was on a dangerous mission. Their leader was wounded and it was up to Stormer and his fellow Rookie, Von Ness, to save New Stellac City. But Von Ness deserted him, and Stormer was forced to go into battle alone. He succeeded that day, just like he has on every mission since then, but he still carries around the feeling that something is left unfinished. A new Rookie team has been assigned to complete their training with Stormer and his crew. William Furno looks to be the best Rookie the Factory has seen since Stormer was a Rookie himself. He takes his position as a Hero in training very seriously and yearns for Stormer’s approval, and will push himself to do whatever it takes to get it. He’s joined by fellow Rookies Natalie Breez and Mark Surge, as they try to prove to Stormer and each other why they are ready to become true Heroes. As the six Heroes begin to work together on their missions, they start to realize that the Villains they fight against are working for someone. Someone from Stormer's past, with an evil agenda to take down the Hero Factory and Stormer himself.
