Rambo was co-written by Stallone himself, and remains the only film in the series directed by the seasoned Hollywood star. It stars with Rambo being accosted by a group of Christian missionaries. The naive though well-meaning group aims to bring relief supplies to the local civilian population in Burma. After being convinced to escort them up the river into the war-torn country, the missionaries are promptly captured, and many are killed.
When their pastor hires a band of mercenaries to find them, Rambo finds himself drawn into another war, this time to save people he doesn't know from an enemy he can't defeat, in a country that's not his own.
He's a bitter and jaded warrior. He knows war doesn't change anything, but he knows that the missionaries aren't going to help people unless they bring them weapons to fight back against their oppressors.
Rambo accepts that fighting is the only thing he can do, but if he can fight for a righteous cause, maybe the killing can amount to something in the long run. It's not a perfect philosophy, but none are, and it's simply who he is. He explains to the mercenaries hired to find the lost missionaries, " This is what we do, who we are.
Live for nothing, or die for something. The final scene of Rambo sees John where he started in the beginning of First Blood , walking down a lonely road, carrying his entire life in a bag slung over his shoulder.
He's returning to his old family homestead, as indicated by the " R. Rambo " written on a rusty old mailbox. Just because Rambo returned home, however, doesn't mean his war is over. Rambo: Last Blood sees the battle-weary old warhorse embark on one last mission to fight for his new family. Influenced by the prospect of real-life violence of Mexican drug cartels spilling over into Rambo's tiny corner of the United States, Rambo: Last Blood promises a whole new layer of depth to the legendary soldier.
The fifth Rambo film starts out with the hero in a state audiences have never seen from the character: contentedness. He has an adopted family, and he's living out his twilight years in peace. He may not have overcome his demons, but he's been able to keep them at bay.
Of course, when all hell breaks loose around him, Rambo will inevitably have to fall back on his extensive training and unleash all of his repressed rage in order to protect the people he loves, in his most personal battle yet.

Trautman is captured and sent to a large mountain base to be interrogated by Soviet Colonel Zaysen and his henchman Sergeant Kourov. Robert Griggs informs Rambo of Trautman's capture but refuses to approve a rescue mission for fear of drawing the United States into the war. Aware that Trautman will die otherwise, Rambo gets permission to undertake a solo rescue on the condition that he will be disavowed in the event of capture or death.
Rambo immediately flies to Peshawar, Pakistan, where he intends to convince arms dealer Mousa Ghani to bring him to Khost, the town closest to the Soviet base where Trautman is held captive. The Mujahideen led by chieftain Masoud hesitate to help Rambo free Trautman. Meanwhile, a Soviet informant in Ghani's employ informs the Soviets, who send two helicopters to destroy the village.
Though Rambo manages to destroy one of them with a turret, the rebels refuse to aid him any further. Aided only by Mousa and a young boy named Hamid, Rambo attacks the base and inflicts significant damage before being forced to retreat. Hamid, as well as Rambo, are wounded during the battle and Rambo sends him and Mousa away before resuming his infiltration.
Skillfully evading base security, Rambo reaches Trautman just as he is about to be tortured with a flamethrower. He and Trautman rescue several other prisoners and hijack a Hind gunship helicopter to escape the base. The helicopter is damaged during takeoff and quickly crashes, forcing the escapees to flee across the sand on foot.
An attack helicopter pursues Rambo and Trautman to a nearby cave, where Rambo destroys it with an explosive arrow. A furious Zaysen sends Spetsnaz commandos under Kourov to kill them, but they are quickly routed and killed. An injured Kourov attacks Rambo with his bare hands, but is overcome and killed. As Rambo and Trautman make their way to the Pakistani border, Zaysen and his forces surround them.
But before the duo are overwhelmed, Masoud's Mujahideen forces attack the Soviets in a surprise cavalry charge. Despite being wounded, Rambo takes control of a tank and uses it to attack Zaysen's Hind gunship in a head-on battle with both vehicles firing high-calibre machine gun rounds, Rambo firing the tank's main gun and Zaysen unleashing volleys of the Hind's high explosive rockets and missiles.
The final charge sees the two vehicles collide, but Rambo survives. At the end of the battle, Rambo and Trautman say goodbye to the Mujahideen and leave Afghanistan. Rambo rescues a group of Christian missionaries that have been captured by the Burmese Military. He led a squad of mercenaries to infiltrate the Burmese army base camp where the missionaries were being held. The mercenaries successfully rescue all the missionaries and Rambo ended up killing Lt.
Aye who was a drunk Burmese soldier who attempted to rape a missionary named Sarah Miller. Rambo killed the intoxicated man by ripping his throat out with his bare hands.
In the morning, the Burmese army found out that the missionaries were missing and started a massive manhunt throughout the jungles of Burma. They eventually caught up to the group and recaptured the missionaries and mercenaries sent to rescue the missionaries. But before the firing squad can finish off the group, Rambo hijacked a jeep mounted Browning M2. After killing off the entire army with the help of the local Karen freedom fighters, Rambo spots Burmese Army commander Major Tint trying to run from his defeat.
Rambo then caught up to him, jammed his machete into the man's stomach, sliced it open, and kicked the man down the hill causing his intestines to fall out, killing the last man of the Burmese Army, and saving the missionaries. Rambo then returns to the United States and starts a new life in his late father's ranch in Bowie, Arizona. Eleven years later, Vietnam War veteran John Rambo lives in Bowie, Arizona at his late father's horse ranch, which he manages with his old friend, Maria Beltran, and her granddaughter, Gabriela.
Gabriela tells Rambo that a friend of hers, Gizelle, has found Gabriela's biological father, Miguel, in Mexico. Both Rambo and Maria tell her not to go to there, but Gabriela secretly drives there to ask why Miguel abandoned her and her mother years ago. Gizelle leads Gabriela to Miguel's apartment, where he coldly tells her that he never really cared for Gabriela or her mother.
Gizelle takes a heartbroken Gabriela to a nearby club, where Hugo and Victor Martinez together kidnap and hold Rambo's niece Gabrielle hostage in while in Mexico. Rambo travels to Mexico and interrogates both Miguel and Jezel about Gabrielle's whereabouts. Jezel reluctantly leads Rambo to the club where Gabrielle was last seen and confronts El Flako, the man who last spoke with Gabrielle.
El Flako leads Rambo to the location of the kidnappers while being followed by a mysterious woman, not before being immediately confronted and beaten by the cartel. They steal his driving license, getting to know the locations of Rambo's farmhouse and a photo of Gabrielle, whom Victor recognizes. Unaware of Rambo's brutality, the cartel vow to mistreat Gabrielle further due to Rambo's actions to break him.
The mysterious woman reveals her identity as Carmen Delgado, who is an independent journalist reporting the deeds of the Martinez siblings who had kidnapped and murdered her sister. Rambo later raids the brothel, killing several men until he finds a drugged Gabrielle. On the way back home, Rambo thanks Gabrielle for giving him hope for ten years before she dies from the forced overdose. Rambo sends Maria away and rigs the ranch with traps for a confrontation, later returning to Mexico to ask Carmen's help in finding Victor.
Carmen refuses initially, believing it will solve nothing but is convinced after Rambo appeals to her grief and frustrations. Rambo raids Victor's home, killing several guards and decapitating Victor while he is taking a shower.
In retaliation and realizing he and his brother mistake for underestimating Rambo, Hugo leads a group of heavily armed hitmen to Rambo's ranch, where each falls victim to the rigged traps.
Saving Hugo for the last, Rambo mutilates him and rips his heart out, ending the heartless monster for good as well as his crime organization. In the aftermath, a weakened Rambo sits on the porch of his father's house, vowing to continue fighting and keep the memories of his loved ones alive. During the credits, flashbacks to scenes from the first four movies in the franchise are shown, with Rambo finally saddling up his horse and riding off into the sunset.
John Rambo is displayed as a tragic hero, who suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder and has difficulty adjusting to civilian life, which is especially complicated because of prejudice against returning soldiers. He is shown to be prone to violence because of the torture he suffered at the hands of North Vietnamese soldiers in the Vietnam War. Rambo has difficulty talking about his problems and he is too scarred from trauma to open up to most people. The only person he really trusts in the world is Trautman, and he still has only told him about one of the brutal deaths he witnessed.
This makes Rambo look like a quiet thug or super soldier to people who don't understand the character, but in reality he is so overwhelmed with self-hatred and nightmarish memories that he can't talk to anybody. As a result, conversations with Rambo are fairly one sided, as he chooses not to engage with most people and only speaks directly to a few people. As he grows older, as he becomes bitter and angry at the world, even leading to him casually swearing and making snide comments under his breath at people, and downright insulting people.
This is especially elaborated upon in 's Rambo, where he refuses to be even remotely social with anybody, even Sarah Miller, who is displayed as a kind soul who wants to learn about Rambo's life and why he is the way he is. He often replies with one-word answers in this film and is terse with people so they will leave him alone. Rambo declines and Sarah asks, why he rebuffed the man he was talking to.
Rambo replies that he wasn't talking to anybody and Sarah changes her statement to "the man who was talking to you". It is evident that Rambo did care deeply for all the men in his unit, forming a brotherly bond with them. This is shown at the start of First Blood, when Rambo arrives as the home of Delmar Barry, he walks with a bit of a spring to his step, he is very polite and talkative to Barry's mother, making small talk and even cracking a joke.
It's one of the few times he's seen to smile, being visibly excited at the prospect of seeing his old friend again. However, upon learning of Barry's death, Rambo is disheartened, offering the photo of his unit that he carries around to Barry's mother before giving his condolences and leaving, his walk having slowed to a trudge as he departs. During his breakdown to Trautman, he talked about how they had planned to go on a road trip to Las Vegas in Danforth's Chevy Convertible.
In Rambo III, Rambo is seen wisecracking one-liners, he cracks several of these, poking fun of the state he and Trautman are in and the predicaments he has gotten himself into. In the next films and novelizations, he is displayed as a man who wants to stay away from conflict but is willing to do literally anything to save his friends and the people he cares about from any danger.
Due to his violent nature, many civil people tend to fear him. However, Colonel Samuel Trautman, who was his commanding officer in Vietnam and most likely his only friend, understands him and the pain and torture he had endured in the war and is the only one able to understand the problems he has.
Good Races Edenians Elder Gods. Heroes Wiki. Heroes Wiki Explore. And it invented the favourable coincidence of action heroes with access to military-level training and weaponry. And producers in Hollywood wanted to cash in. But with popularity comes a sense of responsibility towards narratives outside the cult of cinema. So Rambo became pro-Establishment. The action shifted to Vietnam, the soldier was sent back to find and bring home prisoners of war, and he ended up blowing up half of a Vietnamese forest in a fervor of nationalists pride.
The hero had, however, begun to brood, question the nature of war and why people fight. The success of Rambo spawned a search for the next action hero in American cinema.
The likes of Jean-Claude Van Damme, Steven Seagal, Arnold Schwarzenegger and the rather more popular and cleverer Bruce Willis of the Die Hard series arrived on the scene, each with a different set of skills and characteristics.
This was one of the most violent, viscerally nightmarish films ever put together. Rambo, the film suggested, had been all along the child of war and violence, as much as he sought to escape it.
