At the height of the Vietnam war, Captain Benjamin Willard is sent on a dangerous mission that, officially, “does not exist, nor will it ever exist.” His goal is to locate – and eliminate – a mysterious Green Beret Colonel named Walter Kurtz, who has been leading his personal army on illegal guerrilla missions into enemy territory.

“I found this in high school by way of Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness. The sheer fucking audacity of this movie and the people who made it make it one of my all time favorites and biggest inspiration for becoming a director.”
