00:00The year is 2032, Los Angeles. San Diego and Santa Barbara have become one sprawling megacity,

00:08a shining beacon of pacifism and hyper-control. It's called San Angeles. The government monitors

00:15everything. The police are everywhere. And if you want to say hello to your neighbor,

00:21you need a permit. Cursing is illegal. Hugs are regulated. And violence? Well,

00:28that's unthinkable. But beneath the surface, something dangerous is stirring. Deep in the

00:35cryoprosin archives, a power surge destabilizes a forgotten wing. Among the files is one labeled

00:42Rambo, John Jay. An off-the-book's cryogenic subject transferred from a classified military program

00:49in 1982. Now we flash back to an alternate. Ending to First Blood. Rambo surrenders to the police.

00:58But is deemed too dangerous to be set free. The government makes a secret deal with the

01:03Defense Department and freezes him. Everything that followed Rambo. First Blood Part 2. 3.

01:11Rambo and Last Blood was a hallucinated dream state. A carefully constructed fantasy engineered to

01:17pacify his psyche while testing neural warfare simulations. Back in 2032, an electromagnetic

01:24burst caused by faulty tech unfreezes Rambo without oversight. He wakes up disoriented in a sterile

01:31chamber surrounded by automated peace bots. His war-torn mind sees this brave new world as a fascist

01:38prison. He breaks free, steals some clothes, a gun, and a dog tags from a nearby museum exhibit.

01:44Then disappears into the forested ruins outside the city. What used to be Anaheim, Rambo begins a guerrilla

01:53campaign against the city. Sabotaging infrastructure, disabling surveillance networks, and building traps

02:00in the wilderness. He believes he's behind enemy lines again. That he's in a globalist technocracy

02:06that erased his country. The authorities are in chaos. They call in the one man who defeated

02:13Simon Phoenix, John Spartan. Spartan, newly reinstated after the Phoenix incident, is gruff,

02:21unrefined, and basically the perfect weapon for a society that's once again confronting its violent

02:27past. But he's also changed. He's trying to adapt to this new world and not become the caveman they only

02:34unleash when things go bad. Rambo, on the other hand, is the past. He's a man forged in blood,

02:41betrayal, and endless war. As Spartan begins the hunt, he studies Rambo's cryo records and starts

02:48to see similarities between them. Men out of time, both betrayed by their country and reduced to tools

02:54of violence. He doesn't want to kill Rambo. He wants to save him. But Rambo doesn't want to be saved.

03:01Rambo escalates his campaign. He hijacks a military drone hangar, plants explosives under the San

03:08Angeles purification hubs, and frees other frozen warriors from the old regime. Including a reprogrammed

03:15but unstable version of Captain Ivan Drago as his muscle-bound enforcer. Spartan and his reluctant

03:22ally, Edgar Friendly, still leading the resistance from the Undercity, mount a counter-strike.

03:28They enter the dead zones, what's left of pre-earthquake Orange County. Now, a jungle of

03:35overgrowth, abandoned tech, and Rambo's traps. Spartan finally confronts Rambo. It's a brutal,

03:42bare-knuckle showdown. Spartan tries to reason with him. Rambo defeats Spartan, but spares him.

03:49Flashbacks haunt him. Visions of war, hallucinations merging with reality. He realizes the truth. All the

03:58battles he thought he fought were lies. He's been a prisoner his entire life, even in his mind. When

04:05Drago betrays him and tries to seize control of the cryo-weaponry for his own ends, Rambo and Spartan

04:11must join forces. In a final explosive sequence, they fight side by side. Old warriors carving a

04:18path through mechanized peacekeepers and rogue cryo-soldiers. Rambo detonates the cryo-core,

04:25destroying the facility and sacrificing himself to prevent another generation from being frozen

04:30and forgotten. Spartan walks through the ruins, finding a battered red headband. He tucks it into

04:37his pocket. Back in San Angeles, society wrestles with its identity. Maybe peace doesn't mean erasing

04:44the past, but learning from it. Spartan returns to his post. The past is gone. But the spirit of men

04:52like Rambo, the ones who bore the burden so others wouldn't have to, that spirit still matters.
