Apocalypse Now
This is the end...
Directed by Francis Ford Coppola
Produced by American Zoetrope
A hallucinatory descent into the moral abyss of war, where a mission upriver becomes a philosophical reckoning with madness, power, and the collapse of civilization.
At the height of the Vietnam war, Captain Benjamin Willard is sent on a dangerous mission that, officially, "does not exist, nor will it ever exist." His goal is to locate - and eliminate - a mysterious Green Beret Colonel named Walter Kurtz, who has been leading his personal army on illegal guerrilla missions into enemy territory.
