First Blood
When small town Washington sheriff Will Teasle (Brian Dennehy) detains a vagrant drifter (Sylvester Stallone) for resisting arrest, little does he realize that he has set in motion a series of events that bring mayhem and bloody reckoning to his community.
The shabby vagrant is in fact former Green Beret John Rambo, a hero of the Vietnam War who has returned home to find America no longer wants him. Responding to brutal treatment from Teasle’s Deputies with sudden ferociousness, Rambo makes a daring escape from the town jail, steals a motorcycle and roars off towards the wilderness with the sheriffs not far behind.
