It had to be Brando you wait the whole film to see. Who else would have been worth it?

Probably the best war movie, in my opinion. Martin Sheen is outstanding.

A truly incredible adaptation of Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness.

Rather pretentious at times and Brando's performance is dodgy but very interesting film.

I seem to be one of the few people who can't enjoy this film. It's just... dull.

My favorite war movie. Watch the Redux version for the real deal.
Apocalypse Now is a 1979 American war film set during the Vietnam War, produced and directed by Francis Ford Coppola. The central character is US Army special operations officer Captain Benjamin L. Willard (Martin Sheen), of MACV-SOG, an assassin sent to kill the renegade and presumed insane Special Forces Colonel Walter E. Kurtz (Marlon Brando).
Coppola's and John Milius's script is based on Joseph Conrad's novella Heart of Darkness, and also draws from Michael Herr's Dispatches, the film version of Conrad's Lord Jim (which shares the same character of Marlow with Heart of Darkness), and Werner Herzog's Aguirre, the Wrath of God (1972). The film drew attention for its lengthy and troubled production. Hearts of Darkness: A Filmmaker's Apocalypse documented Brando's showing up on the set overweight, Sheen's heart attack, and extreme weather destroying several expensive sets. The film's release was postponed several times while Coppola edited millions of feet of footage.
