John Rambo is an upcoming film, starring Sylvester Stallone as Vietnam War veteran John Rambo. In this fourth chapter of the franchise, Rambo travels to Burma, where the Burmese army is ruthlessly abusing the locals. It is currently scheduled for a January 25, 2008 release.
An official film teaser trailer which was made for distributors at the Cannes film festival was made available on the internet in late May 2007, and was noted for its intense (and graphic) violence.[4] Another teaser trailer was made available on the internet in September 2007.
Plot
Vietnam veteran John J. Rambo (Sylvester Stallone) has survived many harrowing ordeals in his lifetime, and has since withdrawn into a simple and secluded existence in rural Thailand, where he spends his time salvaging old PT boats and tanks for scrap metal.
He is approached by a group of Christian missionaries who wish to travel to Burma in order to help stop the atrocities being committed. Rambo takes them up the halfway, and then leaves them. Soon after arriving in Burma, they are captured by the army, and most of them are killed. Upon hearing this news, John Rambo enlists the help of a group of mercenaries to help rescue them.
