LBRY meme. Film gif: Apocalypse Now is a 1979 American epic war film directed, produced, and co-written by Francis Ford Coppola. It was co-written by John Milius with narration written by Michael Herr. It stars Marlon Brando, Robert Duvall, Martin Sheen, Frederic Forrest, Albert Hall, Sam Bottoms, Larry Fishburne, and Dennis Hopper. The screenplay, written by Milius, adapts the story of Joseph Conrad’s novella Heart of Darkness, changing its setting from late 1800’s Congo to the Vietnam War.[4] It draws from Herr’s Dispatches[5] and Werner Herzog’s Aguirre, the Wrath of God (1972).[6] The film revolves around Captain Benjamin L. Willard (Sheen) on a secret mission to assassinate Colonel Kurtz, a renegade who is presumed insane. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apocalypse_Now
