About this movie

When small town Washington sheriff Will Teasle (Brian Dennehy) detains a vagrant drifter for resisting arrest, little does he realise that he has set in motion a series of events that bring mayhem and bloody reckoning to his community. The shabby vagrant is in fact former Green Beret John Rambo (Sylvester Stallone - Rocky, Creed, The Expendables), a hero of the Vietnam War who has returned home to find America no longer wants him. Responding to brutal treatment from Teasle's Deputies with sudden ferociousness, Rambo makes a daring escape from the town jail, steals a motorcycle and roars off towards the wilderness with the sherrifs not far behind... Fully restored for the first time ever, FIRST BLOOD is the explosive action-thriller that started it all! A breathtaking portrayal of America at odds with itself.

Ratings and reviews

The original and best in the Rambo series sees Sylvester Stallone placed in the position of the hunted instead of the hunter. First Blood is an action packed film with a genuinely depressing depiction of a soldier suffering from PTSD.

One of my all time favourites. Not enough room in this tiny box to explain how good the film is, just watch it and see for yourself.

"They drew first blood, not me" an absolute classic!
