"He's old-school SAS. They're first-rate soldiers, but total egomaniacs."

―School Boy on Lewis.

Lewis was a SAS British mercenary that was hired by Reverend Arthur Marsh to rescue the Christian missionaries from Burmese soldiers alongside John Rambo. Although he constantly bickered with everyone and was stubborn, he did prove to be a big asset to getting the missionaries back. His weapon of choice was a customized Mossberg 590 shotgun.

Rambo IV

Lewis was hired by Reverend Arthur Marsh to retrieve the Christian missionaries that had been kidnapped by Burmese soldiers while on a mission trip. John Rambo takes Lewis along with the other mercenaries "School Boy", Diaz, En-Joo and Reese down river. Lewis complained about how slow the boat was. After Lewis insulted Rambo, School Boy backed Rambo up. After Rambo killed all of the Burmese soldiers at the rice paddy with his Marlin Compound bow, Lewis demanded to turn back, but Rambo pulled his bow on him and threatened him. Lewis agreed to keep going. At the films climax, all of the mercenaries and missionaries except for Sarah Miller, Rambo and School Boy are abducted by the Burmese Tatmadaw soldiers.

Disgruntled and being beaten by the soldiers, Lewis lashes out at Major Tint, swearing and calling him names. Tint responds by pulling out a whipping rod and Lewis is beaten severely, although he keeps mocking Tint. Rambo manages to save them after commandeering a Jeep-mounted machine gun and Lewis is supplied with weapons. Lewis uses a Norinco Type 56 assault rifle in the battle. He survived, although he was left wounded.
