Both have been trained to kill; Teasle in Korea, Rambo in Vietnam. They have learned different ways of death and of survival in two different wars. Now, without warning, they are deadly advesaries in a civilian combat that becomes a chase through the woods and mountains and caves above the town. As we follow them, we begin to understand their lives and the forces that drive them. We begin to understand that once a man has been trained as a killer, he remain a killer. Playing out once more the ritual of the chase, Rambo and Teasle revert to the impulse to murder.
