RAMBO: FIRST BLOOD SYNOPSIS

He never fought a battle he couldn’t win – except the conflict raging within his own soul. Academy Award® nominee Sylvester Stallone (Best Actor in a Leading Role, Rocky, 1976) stars as war hero John Rambo. An ex-Green Beret haunted by memories of Vietnam, he was once the perfect killing machine. Now he’s searching for peace, but finds instead an over-zealous, small-town sheriff who’s spoiling for a fight. All hell breaks loose when an unjustly imprisoned Rambo escapes and becomes the target of a massive manhunt. Now he must use all his cunning, combat skills and weapons training to stay alive and outwit his pursuers.
