About this product

Product Information

Francis 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." The grueling production and Coppola's insistence on authenticity led to vast budget overruns and physical and emotional breakdowns. Considered to be one of the best war movies of all time, APOCALYPSE NOW features incredible performances and beautifully chaotic visuals that make it an absolute must-see.In August 2001, a new version of the film, title APOCALYPSE NOW REDUX, was released. The new version includes 49 minutes of never-before-seen footage, a Technicolor enhancement, and a six-channel soundtrack.

  • Still amazing.

    This is the 1979 theater release of the movie, but lacks the bombing scene that was seen as the ending credits rolled. That version was quickly recalled and replaced so it is generally not available. 40 years after its release, it is still a striking visual epic.

  • This is a 5 star movie, everyone should watch

    It's sad, so many people watch disk, net flicks, or cable. At the end of the month, they have nothing to show for. no movies to review, or sell again, just bills and cancelled checks. Maybe some day people will wise up and stop throwing there money away!! But DVD and watch them then re sell them, and BUY more, or watch them again, free. This is a classic movie!!
