Apocalypse Now

The 1979 war film Apocalypse Now, takes place during the Vietnam War. Captain Benjamin Willard (played by Martin Sheen) is lifted from his drunken and depressed state and is approached by General Corman (played by G.D. Spradlin) and Colonel Lucas (played by the one and only Harrison Ford) with an assignment: travel up the Nung River into the Cambodian jungle to kill one of the U.S. army's own men, Colonel Walter Kurtz (played by Marlon Brando). Willard is informed that Kurtz has gone insane and Willard must end the Colonel's command.

The U.S. army has ordered a boat, commanded by Chief Phillips (played by Albert Hall), to take Willard up the Nung River. Joining Phillips and Willard are Tyrone "Clean" Miller (played by Lawrence Fisher), Jay "Chef" Hicks (played by Frederic Forrest), and Lance Johnson (played by Sam Bottoms). After many near - death encounters, Willard and his remaining crew finally make it to the Cambodian jungle. He approaches Kurtz and is taken hostage. Willard is determined though, to finish his mission and assassinate Colonel Kurtz.

Overall, I thought that this was an excellent and exciting film to watch. I loved all of the action throughout the entire movie. From the beginning of the movie, where Willard is ordered to take out Colonel Kurtz's command "...with extreme prejudice..." to Willard rising out of the swamp water to assassinate Colonel Kurtz, I enjoyed it all. I would seriously recommend this movie to anybody I know, because I think it was a very well produced movie.
