Bruce is a minor antagonist of the 1982 film First Blood. He is a National Guard who is allied with Will Teasle and Clinton Morgen.
First Blood[]
Following Rambo's escape from the Ligget County Sheriff's Department after beating up Teasle and his men in revenge for the abuse they did, Bruce was called in to aid Morgen in leading a series of National Guard men to track Rambo down. They were able to pinpoint Rambo's current location in an abandoned mine shaft inside the forest.
Morgen orders Bruce and several of his men to going in the mine and capture Rambo, but they refuse, knowing that Rambo is far too experienced in combat and will expect them. Morgen then attempts to call Rambo out to surrender while calling Earl for his grenade launcher. Despite Earl suggesting that they wait until Teasle arrives, Morgen disregards Teasle's orders and demanded Earl to fire the bazooka into the mine to kill Rambo. Earl does so, and Morgen happily declares to 'give that man a cigar'.
Unfortunately, this doesn't suit well for Teasle, who angrily berates Bruce and the other soldiers for defying his orders. Teasle then angrily orders Morgen to search for Rambo's body, much to Morgen's frustration.
It is unknown what happened to Bruce afterwards.
