ABOUT THE FILM

Apocalypse Now (1979) is a war film directed by Francis Ford Coppola, set during the Vietnam War. The story follows Captain Benjamin Willard, who is sent on a covert mission to assassinate Colonel Kurtz, a U.S. Army officer who has gone rogue and established a violent, godlike rule over a remote Cambodian outpost. As Willard journeys upriver with his crew, he encounters the brutal realities of war, exploring themes of madness, morality, and the human cost of violence. The film blends surrealism and psychological horror, offering a haunting critique of war and its dehumanizing effects.

TRIVIA SAMPLES:

“Principal photography concluded on May 21, 1977, after 238 days of filming.”

“Al Pacino was also offered the role of Captain Willard but declined, fearing a lengthy stay in the jungle and recalling how he fell ill during The Godfather Part II in the Dominican Republic.”

“Apocalypse Now won the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival, sharing the honor with The Tin Drum by Volker Schlöndorff, despite some boos from the audience.”

“The film's title, Apocalypse Now, was inspired by a button badge from the 1960s that read 'Nirvana Now,' which John Milius modified for the film.”

“During Captain Willard's conversation with Colonel Kurtz, Willard's Ohio roots are mentioned. Interestingly, actor Martin Sheen is from Dayton, Ohio, just like his character.”
