Synopsis

An aircraft carrier transporting a "secret weapon" for Colonel Trautman is attacked by General Warhawk's troops. The secret weapon is Rambo's Force of Freedom team, who engage Warhawk's men. After a gallant fight, Dr. Hyde disables everyone on the ship with sleeping gas and Rambo is knocked out of the air by Max. The aircraft carrier is captured by Warhawk and docked in enemy territory. Rambo is rescued but learns that the blow he suffered has made him blind. Rambo goes with Stacy, a blind instructor, to a school for the blind for rehabilitation. Mad Dog's team tracks Rambo to the center for the blind and attacks him. Mad Dog knocks out Rambo with a grenade blast and retreats. Rambo regained his sight from the shock of the grenade blast. He flies to where the aircraft carrier is docked and attacks General Warhawk's troops. He gives a fake "abandon ship" order from the engine room, saying that the atomic reactors are about to explode. Warhawk's men retreat. Rambo recaptures the aircraft carrier and all its personnel are rescued.

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.
