When the mission goes belly up and Trautman is kidnapped and tortured by Russian Colonel Zaysen, Rambo launches a rescue effort and allies himself with the Mujahedeen rebels and gets their help in trying to rescue Trautman from Zaysen.

There are also corrupt American officials involved in the mission, including Marshall Murdock, one of Rambos superiors. Rambo starts killing every enemy in sight while still focusing on his intentions to rescue the POWs. Teamed up with female Vietnamese freedom fighter Co Bao, Rambo embarks on a mission to rescue the POWs, who are being held by sadistic Vietnamese Captain Vinh and his Russian comrade, Lieutenant Colonel Padovsky.

Rambos assignment is to only take pictures of where the POWs are being held, but Rambo wants to get the POWs out of Vietnam.
