Ted Kotcheff’s First Blood (1982) is a gritty action drama that introduces John Rambo, a Vietnam veteran pushed to the edge. Sylvester Stallone delivers a raw performance as small-town law enforcement ignites a brutal manhunt through the Pacific Northwest wilderness. It’s survival thriller meets psychological war story—explosive, tragic, and deeply human.
