Synopsis
A top secret space lab is destroyed and an important component of an advanced laser is stolen by scientist Dr. Paulsen after he receives a strange phone call. After the incident, the doctor remembers nothing. A similar thing happens in a different lab, where Dr. James tries to destroy the lab and steal the second component of the laser. Rambo was there to prevent the lab from being destroyed but couldn't stop the part from being taken. Rambo surmises that someone is controlling the scientists' minds via the telephone. Rambo's team is deployed to protect the final part of he laser. The two scientists working on the third part aren't allowed to use the phone. But a third scientist at that facility, Lisa, Kat's college roommate, is called and told to steal the part. She starts a fire and wildly shoots a machine gun but she is stopped by Rambo. General Warhawk launches an attack on the facility. Rambo stops the tanks with grenades. The Black Dragon's men rush in to take the part and the White Dragon, revealed to be the Black Dragon's brother, is unable to stop them. Warwick's troops retreat with the laser part. Rambo gives chase in a moon rover but fails. Kat remembers that Lisa took a mind control class in college from a Professor Larsen. Rambo goes to the professor to find Warhawk's whereabouts but the professor only knows he's somewhere in the Himalaya Mountains. General Warhawk has assembled the laser and prepares to shoot down a passing satellite. Rambo's team finds Warhawk's base and attacks it. It appears that the Dragon brothers are about to have a showdown but the Black Dragon retreats. Just before the laser is to be fired Rambo throws a grenade at it. Warhawk's men retreat and escape. All the scientists are deprogrammed.

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.
