Starring Academy Award nominee Sylvester Stallone (Rocky), who also co-wrote and directed the film, this latest installment of the hit series finds our hero John Rambo on a mission to save a group of Christian aid workers who have been kidnapped by Burmese soldiers. He has retreated to a simple life in a rural Thai village near the Burmese border. He captures snakes for local entertainers and transports groups in his old PT boat.

He's searching for peace, but instead finds an over-zealous, small-town sheriff who's spoiling for a fight.

Now he must use all his cunning, combat skills and weapons training to stay alive and outwit his pursuers. First Blood is an explosive action-thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat until the final, powerful frame.
Rambo First Blood Part II: Ultimate Edition Synopsis:
This explosive Oscar nominated sequel (Best Effects, Sound Effects Editing) boasts a riveting screenplay by Stallone and James Cameron (story by Kevin Jarre).

Combat has taken its toll on John Rambo, but he has finally begun to find inner peace inside a monastery. That is until his friend and mentor Colonel Sam Trautman shows up to ask for his help on a top-secret mission in Afghanistan.
