'Rambo: Last Blood' to hit Indian screens in September

Sylvester Stallone's "Rambo: Last Blood" will be hitting the theatres in India on September 20. The film marks the 72-year-old actor's fifth and final outing as the action character, John Rambo.

Stallone first played the part in 1982's "First Blood", which he followed up with "Rambo: First Blood Part II" (1985), "Rambo III" (1988) and "Rambo" (2008). "Last Blood", directed by Adrian Grunberg from a script by Stallone and Matt Cirulnick, will see Rambo living on a ranch in Arizona, deeply troubled and wrestling with PTSD as he picks up casual work wherever he can.

When a longtime family friend and estate manager Maria informs the former soldier that her granddaughter has gone missing after crossing into Mexico for a party, he sets off with her to find the youngster. In pursuit, Rambo uncovers a sex-trafficking ring and teams up with a journalist whose half-sister has also been kidnapped. He must deploy all his skills to save the girls and bring down a vicious crime lord.

The film will also feature Paz Vega, Sergio Peris-Mencheta and Yvette Monreal in pivotal roles. Stallone had unveiled the first look of the much-awaited film at the recently concluded Cannes Film Festival.

"Last Blood" will be released in India by PVR Pictures and MVP Entertainment.
