In Rambo 3 John Rambo becomes the embodyment of the American cold war commando. After his former commander Colonel Tratman is captured in soviet helt Afghanistan, he moves to free him. Allying himself with Afghan rebels he obliterates any and all Russians that lie in his path. He engages targets with his Bow and Arrow and knifes enemies up close as he moves further into occupied territory. With guts and determination no enemy causes him to waver from his attack. In one scene rambo literally drives a tank straight at an attack helicopter as its missiles strike all around.
