Apocalypse Now

Based on the novel "Heart of Darkness" by Joseph Conrad, Apocalypse Now follows the journey of Vietnam War Captain Benjamin Willard (Martin Sheen) as he hunts down Colonel Kurtz (Marlon Brando), a once-promising officer who has succumbed to insanity. Directed, co-written, and produced by Francis Ford Coppola, Apocalypse Now became an instant classic when it hit theaters in 1979.
