Plot behind "Rambo IV" revealed

Rambo as a monk? salvaging scrap metal? leading a young team of soldiers into combat?

Entertainment Weekly is claiming to have information on the plot for the next installment in the Rambo franchise, Rambo IV.

So, the script that emerged — a ‘’first draft’’ Stallone has written with Art Monterastelli (The Hunted) — finds Rambo living a monastic lifestyle in Bangkok and salvaging old PT boats and tanks for scrap metal. (’’It’s like he’s stripping himself down,’’ says the actor, pensively. ‘’That old piece of military equipment.’’ When a group of volunteers bringing supplies into Burma disappears, a relative of one of the missing missionaries begs Rambo to find them. He heads off with a team of young guns, a plot point required by the financiers, who wanted to hedge against Rambo’s possible mono-generational appeal.

At this point nothing has been confirmed, but they seem to be fairly certain this is how the film’s plot will play out.
