John Rambo
Synopsis
STALLONE) has retreated to northern Thailand, where he's running a longboat
on the Salween River. On the nearby Thai-Burma (Mynamar) border, the
world's longest-running civil war, the Burmese-Karen conflict, rages into its 60th
year. But Rambo, who lives a solitary, simple life in the mountains and jungles
fishing and catching poisonous snakes to sell, has long given up fighting, even as
medics, mercenaries, rebels and peace workers pass by on their way to the wartorn
region.
That all changes when a group of human rights missionaries search out
the "American river guide," John Rambo. When Sarah (JULIE BENZ) and
Michael Bennett (PAUL SCHULZE) approach him, they explain that since last
year's trek to the refugee camps, the Burmese military has laid landmines along
the road, making it too dangerous for overland travel. They ask Rambo to guide
them up the Salween and drop them off, so they can deliver medical supplies
and food to the Karen tribe. After initially refusing to cross into Burma, Rambo
takes them, dropping off Sarah, Michael and the aid workers ......
Less than two weeks later, pastor Arthur Marsh (KEN HOWARD) finds
Rambo and tells him the aid workers did not return and the embassies have not
helped locate them. He tells Rambo he's mortgaged his home and raised money
from his congregation to hire mercenaries to get the missionaries, who are being
held captive by the Burmese army. Although the United States military trained
him to be a lethal super soldier in Vietnam, decades later Rambo's reluctance for
violence and conflict are palpable, his scars faded, yet visible. However, the lone
warrior knows what he must do...
