Apocalypse Now

View descriptionShare

In this episode Sean and James review the classic 1979 film Apocalypse Now, a surreal and haunting war film directed by Francis Ford Coppola, inspired by Joseph Conrad’s novella Heart of Darkness. Set during the Vietnam War, the story follows U.S. Army Captain Benjamin Willard, who is sent on a secret mission to travel up the Nung River into Cambodia and assassinate Colonel Walter Kurtz, a once-respected officer who has gone rogue and is now leading a cult-like group of followers deep in the jungle. As Willard journeys deeper into the heart of the war—and human darkness—he encounters chaos, madness, and moral decay. Apocalypse Now explores the psychological toll of war and the thin line between civilization and savagery.
