The film is expected to be John Rambo’s last adventure as he takes on a Mexican drug cartel. Not only will Rambo be taking on a Mexican drug cartel, but it will also show him struggling with PTSD as he struggles to find work in while living on a ranch in Arizona.
He will be called back to action when his longtime friend and estate manager Maria tells him that her daughter has gone missing after she went to a party in Mexico and never returned.
The film is expected to have a Taken vibe as Rambo will uncover a sex-trafficking ring and team-up with a journalist who is looking for her half-sister who has also been kidnapped.
