Apocalypse Now is a 1979 American epic war film set during the Vietnam War. It was directed and produced by Francis Ford 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 killthe renegade and presumed insane Special Forces Colonel Walter E. Kurtz (Brando's role). The screenplay byJohn 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 of God (1972).
