Rambo 2008

 

Even though he is looking to avoid trouble, trouble has a way of finding him. A group of Christian human rights missionaries, led by Michael Burnett and Sarah Miller, approach Rambo with the desire to rent his boat to travel up the river to Burma. For over fifty years, Burma has been like a war zone. The Karen people of the region, who consist of peasants and farmers, have endured brutally oppressive rule from the murderous Burmese military and have been struggling for survival every single day. This is the time when medical assistance and general support from the Christian missionaries is needed most.

After capturing a cobra, Rambo is approached by a man who asks him to take himself and his group of fellow missionaries to Burma to help the Karen tribe members — who are regularly raped, tortured and massacred by Major Tint's sadistic soldiers — with food and medicine. Rambo flatly refuses. Then, the woman in the group Sarah Miller asks him. Once more Rambo refuses, telling her that she cannot change anything and to go home. She leaves him only to return later that night alone. She asks Rambo once more, telling him that she only wants to make a difference. Rambo reluctantly agrees and takes her and her group onto the river the next day.

They leave on the humanitarian mission which goes well until the village is attacked, leaving one of the missionaries and most of the villagers killed. Sarah and the remaining missionaries are kidnapped by the Burmese army. Rambo was dreaming of the past years when he is awoken by his name being called. The pastor from the missionaries church is there and asks Rambo if he can help him find the missing missionaries who should have been home ten days ago. He continues to say that all he needs is Rambo to lead them to the spot where he left them and that his mercenaries would do the rest. Rambo wastes no time and goes back up river with the mercenaries in tow. The mercenaries are unaware of Rambos killing prowess and do not take him as anything more than "boat man."
