Executive Summary First Blood is the inaugural film in the Rambo franchise, based on David Morrell’s 1972 novel of the same name.

It established Sylvester Stallone as a major action icon and introduced the character of John Rambo into the global pop culture lexicon. 2. Plot Synopsis The film follows John J. Rambo, a drifter and former Green Beret, as he travels to a small Washington town to visit an old Army buddy, only to discover the man has died from cancer due to Agent Orange exposure.
