Rambo (Blu-ray)

Synopsis

LIVE FOR NOTHING. OR DIE FOR SOMETHING... the fight continues.

John Rambo has retreated to a simple life in a rural Thai village near the Burmese border. He captures snakes for local entertainers and transports groups in his old PT boat. Following repeated pleas, Rambo helps ferry a group of Christian aid workers into war-torn Burma for a humanitarian mission, where local villagers are regularly tortured and massacred by sadistic Burmese soldiers. The mission is going well until the village is attacked, and the missionaries are taken prisoner by the soldiers. The missionaries’ minister enlists Rambo to help him rescue his group in the midst of a deadly civil war.

For over fifty years, Burma has been a war zone. The Karen people of the region, who consist of peasants and farmers, have endured brutally oppressive rule from the murderous Burmese military and have been struggling for survival every single day. After some inner contemplation, and accepting an offer of being a guide, Rambo takes Michael, Sarah, and the rest of the missionaries up the river.

But once arriving at the Karen village, they find themselves part of a raid by the sadistic Major Pa Tee Tint and a slew of Burmese army men. A portion of the villagers and missionaries are tortured and viciously murdered, while Tint and his men hold the remainder captive. Concerned by their disappearance, the USA-based minister in charge of the mission gathers a group of mercenaries and then pleas with Rambo to transport them with his boat, since he knows their last exact location. But Rambo can't stay behind: he joins the team where he belongs, to liberate the survivors from the clutches of Major Tint in what becomes one of his deadliest missions ever!
