First Blood

John Rambo (Sylvester Stallone, Rocky franchise) loves his country. In fact he gave blood, sweat, and tears while fighting in Vietnam. John Rambo; Special Forces, Pilot, Infantry, and totally gnarly soldier package is a special kind of nightmare for anyone trying to keep him down.

Teasle (Brian Dennehy) is a small time sheriff and big time bully. When Rambo enters his kingdom, Teasle is quick to intercept. All Rambo wants is a place to eat. Teasle doesn't want his kind (Vietnam veterans) in his town and shows him the quickest way to the exit. He picks up Rambo and drives him out of town.

Undeterred, Rambo quietly walks back toward town only to be scooped up by Teasle and thrown into jail. In a totally bogus move, the deputies run roughshod over Rambo, inducing Rambo's prisoner of  war flashbacks. He's treated like scum, but instead of commies, his tormentors good old USA small town police. 

Rambo springs into action and single handedly takes them down Green Beret style. 

Now Rambo's on the run with a growing number of law enforcement and National Guardsmen tracking him down. His only friend, COL. Trautman (Richard Crenna) his recruiter and trainer.
