Apocalypse Now is a 1979 American epic 1 war film set during the Vietnam War. It was directed and produced by Francis Ford 2 Coppola and stars Marlon Brando, Robert Duvall, and Martin Sheen. The central character is US Army special operations officer Captain Benjamin L. Willard (played by Sheen), an assassin sent to kill the renegade and presumed insane Special Forces Colonel Walter E. Kurtz (Brando's role). The screenplay by John Milius and Coppola came from Milius's idea of adapting Joseph Conrad's novel Heart of Darkness into the Vietnam War era. It also draws from Michael Herr's Dispatches, the film version of Conrad's Lord Jim and Werner Herzog's Aguirre, the Wrath 3 of God (1972).


 


On the review website Rotten Tomatoes.com, Apocalypse Now has an incredibly high 99% rating. The consensus 4 is: "Francis Ford Coppola's haunting, hallucinatory Vietnam war epic is cinema at its most audacious and visionary". In his original review, Roger Ebert wrote: "Apocalypse Now achieves greatness not by analyzing 5 our experience in Vietnam, but by re-creating, in characters and images, something of that experience." The Los Angeles Times' Charles Champlin wrote: "It towers over everything that has been attempted by an American filmmaker in a very long time". The movie is widely regarded by many as a masterpiece of Hollywood, and is frequently cited as one of the greatest films of all time.
