Apocalypse Now is a 1979 American epic war film set during the Vietnam War. The plot revolves around two US Army special operations officers, one of whom, Captain Benjamin L. Willard (Martin Sheen) of MACV-SOG, is sent into the jungle to assassinate the other, the rogue and presumably insane Colonel Walter E. Kurtz (Marlon Brando) of Special Forces. The film was produced and directed by Francis Ford Coppola from a script by Coppola and John Milius. The script is based on Joseph Conrad's novella Heart of Darkness.. GREAT WAR FILM FOR THE WAR MOVIE BUFF. IF YOU OWN PLATOON OR FULL METAL JACKET YOU MUST OWN THIS MOVIE...
The movie is based on Conrad's "Heart of Darkness," but modified to the Vietnam War rather than Congo. Many Vietnam vets rate the movie overall as the best representation of what it was like to serve in that war--not the story per se, but in terms of highlighting the many absurdities inherent in fighting that war.

You wonder as you watch this movie if by chance this really happened during the Vietnam war,.The movie is scary depiction of a rogue Colonel Walter Kurtz,. (Marlin Brando) gone mad. And a young Captain Willard,. (Martin Sheen) sent deep into the jungle buy an Army General to terminate the Colonel and his band of jungle killers,.All along the way Captain Willard is faced with many dangerous road blocks and acts of insanity that leave you mesmerized and thinking (I Wonder). Lt.Colonel Kilgore,.(Robert Duval) Made the words famous "I love the smell of napham in the morning" Was Brilliant,. so was Brando,..Martin Sheen was incredible in the beginning and faded until the end of the movie. I have seen this movis a dozen times and each time I see something I haven't seen before,.Better than the first Apocalypse Now,. Redux Is much better,..This is a movie I will see several more time before I die,..Awesome movie,..If you Liked FULL MEDAL JACKET,..OR PLATOON,..You'll love this one. The best of all the Vietnam War movies.Read full review
This is what the movie should have been to begin with. Much more engaging and comprehensive. I've heard rumors that even more then this ended up cut and would like to see that rumored 5+ hr. unedited version.
