Plot

Vietnam veteran John J. Rambo (Sylvester Stallone) has survived many harrowing ordeals in his lifetime, and has since withdrawn into a simple and secluded existence in rural Thailand, where he spends his time salvaging old PT boats and tanks for scrap metal.

He is approached by a group of Christian missionaries who wish to travel to Burma in order to help stop the atrocities being committed. Rambo takes them up the halfway, and then leaves them. Soon after arriving in Burma, they are captured by the army, and most of them are killed. Upon hearing this news, John Rambo enlists the help of a group mercenaries to help rescue them.
