**

Returning Vietnam vet John Rambo (Sylvester Stallone) gets the undesirables treatment from a small town sheriff (Brian Dennehy) and his sadistic deputies, then escapes to the woods for some impromptu guerrilla warfare.  Worthwhile as an action picture, but weakened by its expectation of sympathy for its truculent and easily set off hero, who, ironically, proves only how unfit for civilized society he is.  The first of the Rambo films, though not the best, based on David Morrell's novel.
