First marathon of 2015: Sylvester Stallone Coming For Your Ass Night

Today's marathon marks the first official marathon performed in the year 2015. A new year brings a fresh new start and a reset button to cover new ground of movie lineups that didn't get the chance to shine in 2014. Tonight we open up the year with wall to wall action. We have the iconic movie star named Sylvester Stallone playing such iconic roles such as John Rambo, John Spartan and Judge Dredd. Their missions are simple: If you break the law or mess with one of these authorative figures, then Stallone's coming after you.  Here is tonight's lineup:

 

The plot for First Blood deals with a Vietnam Veteran named John Rambo, forced to use his combat skills against the lawman of a small town when they arrest and abuse him. The film Cobra deals with a tough-on-crime street cop who must protect the only surviving witness to a strange murderous cult with far reaching plans. Rambo First Blood Part ll follows up after the events of First Blood with John Rambo being released from prison by the government for a top-secret covert mission to go back to the last place on Earth he'd want to return to which is the jungles of Vietnam. Straying away from the Rambo story arc is the Demolition Man. In this film, a police officer named John Spartan played by Sylvester Stallone, being brought out of suspended animation in prison to pursue an old ultra-violent nemesis named Simon Phoenix played by Wesley Snipes, who ends up escaping prison and being loose in a non-violent futuristic society. Continuing the theme of justice taking place in the 21st century, the plot for Judge Dredd deals with a dystopian future where a police officer with instant field judiciary powers named Judge Dredd is convicted of a crime he did not commit while his murderous counterpart escapes. The final film of the lineup brings everything back to it's early roots with the fourth and final installment in the John Rambo series. Rambo 2008 takes place in Thailand where John Rambo joins a group of mercenaries to venture into war-torn Burma, and is forced to rescue a group of Christian aid workers who become kidnapped by a ruthless local infantry unit.
