First Blood

A lone warrior. A small town. A fight for survival.
In First Blood, audiences are introduced to John Rambo (Sylvester Stallone), a decorated Vietnam War veteran whose return to civilian life is anything but peaceful. While drifting through a quiet town, Rambo finds himself at odds with an overzealous sheriff (Brian Dennehy) and a system that views him as an outsider.

What begins as a simple misunderstanding escalates into a relentless manhunt as Rambo is pushed to his limits, relying on his combat skills to outwit and survive his pursuers. Directed by Ted Kotcheff, this gripping action-thriller explores themes of alienation, trauma, and resilience, capturing the raw intensity of one man against the odds. With Stalloneโ€™s iconic performance and intense action sequences, First Blood became a genre-defining classic that launched one of cinemaโ€™s most legendary franchises.
