Description

Based on Joseph Conrad's immortal novel, Heart of Darkness, this film explores in fascinating depth the sensuousness, the insanity and the moral dilemma that was the Vietnam War.

Captain Willard is an American Special Forces officer who is sent on a delicate secret mission to kill another American, the renegade Colonel Kurtz. Kurtz has set himself up as a god among the natives and surrounded his jungle fortress with Montagnard warriors, a particularly violent mountain tribe.

Willard's journey up the river brings him face to face with madness. There is an unforgettable meeting with the bloodthirsty Lt. Colonel Kilgore, who is heard to exclaim, "I love the smell of napalm in the morning!" There is a U.S.O. show which is a nightmare of surrealism and erotic impulses run wild. And then, at last, there is a terrifying encounter with Kurtz himself, the apotheosis of all that is evil in the heart of man.
