Rambo

During the political protests of the Saffron Revolution in Burma, ruthless SPDC officer Major Pa Tee Tint leads his Burmese Army forces in a campaign of fear. His soldiers pillage settlements, sadistically slaughter innocents, abduct teenage boys to be drafted and hold women hostage to be raped as sex slaves. Meanwhile, twenty years after leaving Afghanistan, Vietnam War veteran John Rambo still lives in Thailand, making a living as a snake catcher and ferryman. He is approached by a group of missionary doctors from Colorado, led by Michael Burnett and his fiancée Sarah Miller, for a job to ferry them up the Salween River into Burma. They are on a humanitarian mission to provide medical aid to a village inhabited by the Karen people. Rambo initially refuses multiple times to take the group, but Sarah convinces him to help them. On the way, the boat is stopped by pirates who demand Sarah in exchange for passage. Rambo quickly kills them, shocking the group. He drops them off at their destination and leaves; on his way back to Thailand, he destroys the pirates' boat while having flashbacks of the previous night's action. Shortly after the missionaries' arrival, Tint's forces raze the village and massacre the villagers, then capture Sarah, Michael and other survivors. Back in Thailand, Rambo is hired to transport mercenaries on a mission to rescue the missionaries. Rambo takes them to the drop-off point and offers to help, but his offer is rejected by team leader Lewis, a former SAS soldier. Myint, a Karen rebel familiar with the area, leads the mercenaries to the village. As they survey the damage, a squad of Tint's soldiers return. The soldiers sadistically force a group of prisoners to navigate a minefield for their entertainment. Rambo arrives and kills the Burmese soldiers with his compound bow. He joins the mercenaries, and they make their way to Tint's camp at night, where they have 15 minutes to rescue the surviving prisoners. They do this but the group is separated when they leave without Rambo, the mercenaries' sniper School Boy and Sarah to keep to their strict schedule. The following day, Tint and his soldiers pursue the two groups. Rambo kills some of them by detonating an unexploded Tallboy bomb with a Claymore mine obtained from School Boy. Lewis steps on a landmine and has to be carried via stretcher back to the boat, where his group is captured. As the soldiers prepare to execute Lewis and his men, Rambo and School Boy arrive, Rambo takes charge of a M2 Browning-equipped technical and guns down the enemy soldiers aided by School Boy and his AMR. The mercenaries rearm themselves and re-engage their captors. The Karen rebels, led by Myint, join the fight, eventually overwhelming Tint's soldiers and their naval forces. One of the mercenaries, En-Joo, is killed in the fight. When his Tatmadaw forces are wiped out, Tint attempts to flee, but Rambo intercepts and disembowels him with his machete. In the aftermath, Rambo, inspired by Sarah's words, returns to the United States to visit his father at his home in Bowie, Arizona.
