Rambo 2 is a film about a Vietnam War veteran John Rambo. Rambo is approached by Colonel Samuel Troutman to go on a secret mission. The colonel Troutman believes that Rambo is the only one who is capable of handling this mission. Rambo is sent to Vietnam to take photographs of the POW’s but he wants to get the POW’s out. This movie is made from the point of view of a Vietnam veteran. This film was made primarily for entertainment purposes. Rambo 2 is just another action movie with an unrealistic story line. However this film does send out a message about the Vietnam War. The director George Cosmatos places a significant emphasis on the government's abandonment of its soldiers. This film highlights the fact that the government did not let the soldiers win the war because of their own agenda. Cosmatos hopes that the government will continue to support the troops. Money has been a driving factor of the government's policies of the war and its soldiers. Although the U.S did not win the Vietnam War, Rambo however does win the war because for him rescuing the POWs was like winning the war.
