Apocalypse Now (1979): ATRM Classic

Amid the chaos of the Vietnam War, Captain Benjamin Willard travels up the Nung River to Cambodia in a mission to exterminate the command of Colonel Walter E Kurtz, who has very obviously gone insane.   Francis Ford Coppola’s multi-layered story of the madness, mayhem and beauty of the Vietnam War is one of the greatest feats in cinema history. It overcame a troubled production to become a multi award winner by setting the war movie benchmark.   All The Right Movies is not a podcast about Apocalypse Now, it is Apocalypse Now.   To support what we do, access our archive and listen to exclusive episodes, become an ATRM patron: https://www.patreon.com/alltherightmovies   Twitter: @right_movies   Instagram: @allthe_rightmovies
