Synopsis

A new powerful aircraft, the XK-7, has been developed by the air force. It is stolen by a renegade Special Forces man, Mike Flynn and sold to General Warhawk. The general uses the plane to capture the world's largest diamond mine in the African country of Zamboli. Rambo's team is sent to Africa to stop Warhawk and retrieve the plane. Turbo equips an old plane for Rambo to use in his attack against the XK-7. He tricks Flynn into landing the XK-7 and then captures him. Rambo then attacks General Warhawk's men and drives them away.

Production notes

VERY toned down from the Rambo films, Rambo is now a member of a rag-tag force of heroes called "The Force of Freedom," a liberal-minded and ethnically-mixed group of men and women, each with his or her own combat specialties. Rambo and the Freedom Force always seemed to come up against the evil organization SAVAGE, led by renegade General Warhawk.
