This unique theatre experience will feature all of the excitement of the original action-thriller classic in a full digitally re-mastered, high-definition presentation. After the movie, fans will also experience the alternate ending that could have changed Rambo’s theatrical history forever presented for the first time on the big screen. Stallone will also give fans a unique look into the incredible story of the making of “First Blood” over 25 years ago and his unique insights into the legend and franchise of Rambo in a specially produced segment for event attendees.1

“First Blood” is presented by NCM’s Fathom and Lionsgate, Thursday, May 15 at 7:30 p.m. local time at more than 430 participating AMC, Clearview, Cinemark USA Inc., Goodrich Quality Theaters, Kerasotes ShowPlace Theatres, National Amusements and Regal Entertainment Group movie theatres, as well as the Penn Cinema (Lititz, PA) through NCM’s exclusive Digital Broadcast Network. The event celebrates the release of Rambo: The Complete Collector’s Set, a 6-disc set featuring all 4 Rambo films, on DVD May 27.
Writer, director and actor Stallone stars as war hero John Rambo, an ex-Green Beret haunted by memories of Vietnam who was once the perfect killing machine. Fans can again see where it all started in “First Blood,” where Rambo escapes from being unjustly imprisoned, using his cunning combat and weapons training to stay alive as he becomes the target in a massive manhunt.
“NCM FATHOM is excited to bring this Rambo classic back to theatres more than 25 years after the original release – but with an exciting alternative ending no one has seen on the big screen – until now,” said Dan Diamond, vice president of NCM FATHOM.
