The ultimate "Army of One" film, Rambo: First Blood Part II is a testosterone-laden fairy tale of one man’s fight to free a Vietnam POW. After being recruited from a prison camp and sent to present-day Vietnam to "take pictures" as proof that American MIAs are really prisoners of war, John Rambo goes ballistic and tries to rescue one of the prisoners. He’s captured and tortured by the Vietnamese, but as one might expect from a Sylvester Stallone movie, Rambo cannot be held or defeated by anyone.
