About this product
Product Information
Francis Ford Coppola's masterful film about the moral madness of the Vietnam War was inspired by Joseph Conrad's novella, HEART OF DARKNESS. Captain Willard (Martin Sheen) is sent into the Cambodian jungle to "terminate with extreme prejudice" Colonel Kurtz (Marlon Brando), who has become insane and now runs his own fiefdom. Traveling downriver on a patrol boat, Willard encounters an air cavalry commander, Lt. Colonel Kilgore (Robert Duvall), whose love of war is matched only by his love of surfing. Coppola almost went bankrupt and Sheen suffered a heart attack during the making of the film, but the rigorous shoot paid off in this unforgettable film.Product Identifiers

Additional InformationFrancis Ford Coppola's Vietnam epic, loosely based on HEART OF DARKNESS by Joseph Conrad, tells the story of Captain Willard (Martin Sheen), a special agent sent into Cambodia to assassinate an errant American colonel (Marlon Brando). Willard is assigned a navy patrol boat operated by Chief (Albert Hall) and three hapless soldiers (Frederic Forrest, Sam Bottoms, and Larry Fishburne). They are escorted on part of their journey by an air cavalry unit led by Lt. Colonel Kilgore (Robert Duvall), a gung-ho commander with a love of Wagner, surfing, and napalm. After witnessing a surreal USO show featuring Playboy playmates and an anarchic battle with the Viet Cong at a bridge, Willard reaches Colonel Kurtz's compound. A crazed photo journalist and Kurtz groupie (Dennis Hopper) welcomes the crew, and Willard begins to question his orders to 'terminate the colonel's command.' <BR><BR><BR>The gruelling production and Coppola's insistence on authenticity led to vast budget overruns and physical and emotional breakdowns, as detailed in the fascinating documentary HEARTS OF DARKNESS shot by Coppola's wife, Eleanor. Considered to be one of the best war movies of all time, APOCALYPSE NOW features incredible performances (especially those of Sheen, Brando and a then 14-year-old Fishburne) and beautifully chaotic visuals (courtesy of renowned cinematographer Vittorio Storao) that make it an absolute must-see.
ReviewsVariety - ...A brilliant and bizarre film....An exhilarating action and adventure exercise....The cast is extraordinary, with Sheen extremely effective in laconic style..., New York Times - ...Coppola's APOCALYPSE NOW lives up to its grand title....The actors are superlatively right...
