John Rambo is an ex-Green Beret, once the perfect killing machine who is now haunted by memories of the war in Vietnam. He’s searching for peace, but instead finds 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. First Blood is an explosive action-thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat until the final, powerful frame.
