Apocalypse Now: Final Cut

A patrol boat crew transports an intelligence officer up the rivers of Vietnam with the mission of eliminating a high-ranking officer who has lost his mind and established a brutal kingdom deep in the jungle. Coppola transposed the plot of Joseph Conrad’s Heart of Darkness into the Vietnam War and created an allegory that presents the war at the height of its ugly power: hypnotic, impressive, brutal, terrifying, and above all, incomprehensible. With powerful performances by Martin Sheen, Marlon Brando, and Robert Duvall — this is a one-of-a-kind, breathtaking, and eternally relevant masterpiece.
