Rambo: First Blood Part II is a 1985 American action film directed by George P. Cosmatos based on a story by Kevin Jarre, with a screenplay by James Cameron and Sylvester Stallone, who also reprises his role as Vietnam War veteran John Rambo. A sequel to First Blood (1982), it is the second installment in the Rambo series, followed by Rambo III. The film stars Richard Crenna, reprising his role as Colonel Sam Trautman, alongside Charles Napier, Julia Nickson, and Steven Berkoff.

The plot of the film is inspired by the Vietnam War's POW/MIA issue. In the movie, Rambo is released from prison in a deal with the US government to document the possible existence of missing prisoners of war in Vietnam, but is given strict orders not to attempt any rescues. When Rambo defies these orders, he is abandoned and forced to once again rely on his own brutal combat skills to save the prisoners.
