Colonel Samuel Trautman, his mentor, intervenes and tries to dissuade the two camps between-to commit suicide while Rambo, driven back and wounded, returns in war against the authorities and the city.

Criticisms

The film was a considerable success in the United States, clarifying the frustrations generated by the camouflaged defeat of the Guerre of Vietnam and the need for recognition of the soldiers who had seen their ridiculed ideals there. The film took part largely in a demonstration (cinematographic) of force and of capacity of intervention of the American army and inspired by other films (series Missing in Action , Delta Forces , etc) to less success.
