Line 47:
During the political protests of the [[Saffron Revolution]] in [[Myanmar|Burma]], ruthless [[State Peace and Development Council|SPDC]] officer Major Pa Tee Tint leads Burmese regime army forces in pillaging small villages in a campaign of fear. His soldiers sadistically slaughter innocents, abduct teenage boys to be drafted into his army and hold women hostage to be raped as sex slaves. Meanwhile, 20 years after [[Rambo III|the events in Afghanistan]], [[Vietnam War]] veteran [[John Rambo]] is still living in [[Thailand]], making a living as a snake catcher and by providing boat rides. Michael Burnett, a missionary doctor, attempts to hire Rambo to ferry his group up the [[Salween River]] into Burma on a [[Humanitarian aid|humanitarian mission]] to provide medical aid to a village inhabited by the [[Karen people]]. Rambo initially refuses, then agrees when convinced by Michael's fiancée Sarah Miller.
 
During the trip, the boat is stopped by pirates demanding Sarah in exchange for passage, forcing Rambo to kill them. The missionaries arrive at the village but are attacked by Tint's forces. Sarah, Michael, and other survivors are taken prisoners. The pastor of the missionaries' church comes to Thailand and asks Rambo to guide a team of five mercenaries on a rescue mission. Rambo takes the mercenarymercenaries to the drop-off point and offers to help, but Lewis, a former [[Special Air Service|SAS]] soldier and the team's leader, refuses.
 
Myint, a [[Karen National Liberation Army|Karen rebel]] familiar with the area, leads the mercenaries to the site of the massacre. As they survey the damage, a squad of Tint's soldiers arrive in a truck with a group of prisoners, whom they proceed to torment. Rambo arrives in time and kills the soldiers with his bow and arrow, freeing the hostages. Rambo joins the mercenaries and they make their way to Tint's camp at night, where they stealthily rescue the surviving hostages.
