"Francis Ford Coppola spent five years in the jungles of the Philippines, filming his much acclaimed film on the horrors of the Vietnam War as based upon Joseph Conrad's novel “Heart of Darkness.”"Martin Sheen stars as Captain Willard, assigned to find one Colonel Kurtz (Marlon Brando), a Green Beret officer who has gone insane and set up his own personal army, a tribal group that worships him as if he were a god.
"As Capt. Willard treks deeper into the Cambodian jungles in search of Kurtz, the subtle levels of civilization that existed, even in the midst of war, begin to drop away. Willard learns for himself what it is like to descend into the heart of darkness, as he seeks to assassinate a fellow officer and complete his mission."
