Fully restored for the first time ever, Rambo III finds John Rambo (Sylvester Stallone) taking refuge in a Buddhist temple in Thailand. Rambo’s mentor, Colonel Sam Trautman(Richard Crenna) arrives seeking help for a new mission: supplying weapons to oppressed rebels in Afghanistan. When Rambo refuses, Trautman leaves for Afghanistan without him – but is quickly taken hostage by Soviet forces. With his friend facing imminent death, Rambo volunteers to mount a solo rescue attempt.
