John Rambo, a former member of the United States Army Special Forces (an elite Special Operations unit) who fought in Vietnam and was a Medal of Honor recipient for his actions there. Rambo has difficulty adjusting to civilian life and wanders the country as a drifter.
John Rambo wanders into the wrong small town to find a fellow 'Nam buddy and gets the living heck kicked out of him by the local law enforcement. The vet strikes back the only way he knows how, leading to a visceral, if unrealistic, flight and fight through the local mountains.
