The story follows\xa0First Blood, where John Rambo (Sylvester Stallone) is in prison for his one-man army heroics against law enforcement in the first film.\xa0 Here, Colonel Trautman (Richard Crenna)\xa0approaches Rambo to undergo a covert operation that will presumably save the lives of thousands of POWs still in Southeast Asia, if he can find evidence that they are still being held captive.\xa0 Rambo is hired only to take pictures, but that doesn\u2019t sit well with the disgruntled vet, who uses the opportunity to get them out while he can.\xa0 However, corrupt government officials don\u2019t want Rambo to find any POWs, as this would complicate American relations in the area, and when irrefutable evidence is given, the mission is aborted, leaving Rambo all by himself \u2014 one man against an army of sadistic Vietnamese and Soviet military advisors, merging America\u2019s former fight with the Cold War enemy of today..
