DVD Movie: John Rambo (Rambo IV)

Sylvester Stallone as John James Rambo

Rambo is a series of popular action films starring Sylvester Stallone. It was based on the characters created by David Morrell in his novel First Blood.


The films are: First Blood (1982), Rambo: First Blood Part II (1985), and Rambo III (1988). The fourth film is simply entitled John Rambo. The films focus on a troubled Vietnam War veteran, John James Rambo, who is greatly skilled in all aspects of survival, weaponry, hand-to-hand combat and guerrilla warfare.


Synopsis:
Vietnam veteran John Rambo has survived many harrowing ordeals in his lifetime and has since withdrawn into a simple and secluded existence in Bangkok, where he spends his time salvaging old PT boats and tanks for scrap metal. Even though he is looking to avoid trouble, trouble has a way of finding him.


A group of Christian human rights missionaries, led by Michael Burnett and Sarah Miller, approach Rambo with the desire to rent his boat to travel up the river to Burma. For over fifty years, Burma has been like a war zone. The Karen people of the region, who consist of peasants and farmers, have endured brutally oppressive rule from the murderous Burmese military and have been struggling for survival every single day.


This is the time when medical assistance and general support from the Christian missionaries is needed most. After some consideration, and due to insistence from his mentor, former military man Ed Baumgartner, Rambo accepts the offer and takes Michael, Sarah, and the rest of the missionaries up the river. When the missionaries finally arrive at the Karen village, they are ambushed by the sadistic Major Pa Tee Tint and a slew of Burmese army men. A portion of the villagers and missionaries are tortured and viciously murdered, while Tint and his men hold the remainder captive.


News soon reaches the minister in charge of the mission and with the help of Ed Baumgartner he employs Rambo to lead a rescue effort. With five young and highly diverse mercenaries at his disposal, Rambo has to travel back up the river and liberate the survivors from the clutches of Major Tint in what may be one of his deadliest missions ever.

I Am Legend

I Am Legend is a 2007 post-apocalyptic science fiction horror film directed by Francis Lawrence and starring Will Smith. Smith plays virologist Robert Neville, who thinks he may be Earth's only human not affected by a man-made virus. He works to create a cure while living in a city inhabited by mutant victims of the plague. It is the third feature film adaptation of Richard Matheson's 1954 novel I Am Legend, following 1964's The Last Man on Earth and 1971's The Omega Man.via

Synopsis:

A virus is harnessed and used as a cure for cancer. Months later the recipients of the cure start to develop rabies-like symptoms as the virus mutates. Will Smith's character Robert Neville, and his dog Sam are survivors. Neville survives due to his immunity to both airborne and contact strains of the virus. As far as Neville knows, he is the only uninfected person in New York, and possibly the world.


He spends his time trying to make contact with other survivors, working on a cure to the virus using his blood. He kidnaps an infected Alpha female to try an antidote on. It fails, but he keeps her to continue his experiments. His dog is infected (dogs can only be infected by the contact strain) when Neville gets caught in a trap. He wants revenge but two survivors save him. The woman, Anna (Alice Braga) and the boy Ethan (Charlie Tahan) tell him about other survivors and a colony in Vermont. He doesn't believe them and starts to yell at her but he is interrupted by an attack by the Alphas.


Neville, Anna and Ethan make it to the basement laboratory where they see that the final experiment on the Alpha female was successful. He draws a vile of blood from the Alpha and gives it to Anna. The other Alphas have broken down the door and are smashing their way into the alcove to get at them. There is a small door at the back and Neville helps Anna and Ethan into the safe space. He pulls a grenade from the desk and pulls the pin. The Alphas break through to him just as the explosion rocks the building.


The final scene is Anna and Ethan driving through Vermont and arriving at the colony with the antidote. There is a narration that explains the Legend of Robert Neville and his hope for humanity.via
