Francis Ford Coppola's Apocalypse Now is an ambitious foray into the chaos of war. Taking place during the Vietnam War, it chronicles the mission to assassinate rogue Colonel Kurtz (Marlon Brando) by Captain Willard (Martin Sheen). It has an equally disturbing plot in terms of its chaotic shoot, including typhoons and Brando's weight gain. The helicopter "Ride of the Valkyries" is one of cinema's most enduring images. It streamlined its pace in the 2019 Final Cut version. It is a watch that audiences might crave and enjoy today to see the psychological effects of war.
