Plot
The film depicts Rambo (Sylvester Stallone) on a mission to Afghanistan. Colonel Trautman has been captured while trying to supply weapons to the anti-Soviet Afghan Mujahideen, and because of the particular atrocities of the occupying Soviet army, only Rambo can save him. With the help of the Mujahideen, Rambo is able to rescue Trautman and eliminate the homicidal Soviet commander of that region. Ironically, Soviet troops were withdrawn from Afghanistan ten days before (starting in May 15, 1988) the movie was released.A novelization was written by David Morrell, author of the novel First Blood, on which the first Rambo film was based.
