With the war in Vietnam over, the public has become increasingly concerned over news that a small group of American POWs have been left in enemy custody.

As one of only three men suited for such work, Rambo agrees to undertake the operation in exchange for a pardon. He is taken to meet Marshal Murdock, a condescending bureaucrat in charge of overseeing the project. Rambo is temporarily reinstated into the army and told that he is only to photograph, not rescue the prisoners or engage enemy personnel.During his insertion, Rambos parachute becomes tangled and breaks, causing him to lose most of his equipment leaving him with only his signiture knife, as well as a bow with specialized arrows. He meets his assigned contact, a young intelligence agent named CoBao, who arranges for a local pirate band to take them upriver. Reaching the camp, Rambo spots one of the prisoners tied to a cross shaped post, left to suffer from exposure, and rescues him against orders. During escape, they are discovered by Vietnamese troops and attacked. When a gunboat manages to catch up, the pirates betray them out of fear. Rambo gets the POW and CoBao to safety, destroys the boat with an RPG7, and kills the pirates. When Rambo calls for extraction, the helicopter is ordered to abort by Murdock, who claims Rambo has violated his orders. Trautman confronts Murdock, learning the true nature of the mission To confirm that there are no PoWs in Vietnam, and if theres evidence, then Murdock would get rid of them. ........
