The ultimate "army of one" film, Rambo: First Blood Part II is a testosterone-laden fairy tale about one man’s fight to free Vietnam POWs. After being freed from prison to take on the dangerous assignment of bringing back photographic evidence that American MIAs are being held as prisoners of war in Vietnam, John Rambo goes ballistic, taking on not only the Vietcong but their Russian backers as he attempts to free the captured American vets. Made in the late cold-war fervor of the 1980s, the film remains a controversial portrait of American militaristic machismo.
