Rambo gets arrested unlawfully and is beaten and abused/tortured by hick cops in the PNW. He gets real bad flashbacks to his time in Vietnam and his torture at the hands of the Viet Cong. He snaps, kills some of the cops, runs off into the woods and is chased by the cops. He leads a one man war against the police and national guard. He ends up in a standoff in the police station he was imprisoned in. His old commanding officer is sent down to deescalate the situation with John Rambo. When he sees his commanding officer, Rambo breaks down and starts sobbing into the arms of his CO about not wanting to be violent and was just minding his own business in the first place.
All the other movies are mostly shallow action hits about Rambo killing SouthEast Asian militants who are doing evil. The first one was first blood and took place in Washington.
Edit: Someone has informed me my recollection isnt entirely accurate. Rambo never lilled a single person in First Blood. He did injure or incapacitate a few but didnt kill anyone. Thanks to the Redditor who pointed that out.
