First Blood

Seven years after his discharge, Vietnam War veteran John Rambo travels by foot to visit one of his old comrades, but learns upon his arrival that his friend has died from cancer due to Agent Orange exposure during the war. Rambo continues to travel, wandering into the small town of Hope, Washington. He is intercepted by the town's Sheriff, Will Teasle, who considers Rambo an unwanted nuisance. When Rambo asks for directions to a diner, Teasle drives him out of town and tells him not to come back. After Rambo returns, Teasle arrests him on charges of vagrancy, resisting arrest and possessing a concealed knife.
