First Blood
A Special Forces veteran walking into a small Pacific Northwest town to look up an old comrade is picked up by the sheriff, driven to the county line and arrested when he walks back in. What the deputies do in the cells triggers what the army trained him for, and he goes up into the hills above the town. Kotcheff's account of a veteran's grievance was read as its own opposite and turned into a franchise.
