Apocalypse
Now Redux - movie information
Synopsis
This reissue of the original version of the film.
Martin Sheen (TV’s THE WEST WING) stars as Army Captain Willard, a
troubled man sent on a dangerous top-secret mission into Cambodia to
assassinate a rogue Green Beret, Col Kurtz (Marlon Brando - THE
GODFATHER, ON THE WATERFRONT, LAST TANGO IN PARIS), who has
barricaded himself in a remote outpost. As Willard ventures deeper
and deeper into the wilderness of the jungle, he embarks on a
strange journey that leads him to Kurtz, but also forces him to come
face to face with the terrifying vision of the heart of darkness in
us all.
With an all-star critically acclaimed cast that also includes Robert
Duvall (THE ROAD, CRAZY HEART, THE GODFATHER Pt I & II), Dennis
Hopper (EASY RIDER, BLUE VELVET), Harrison Ford (THE INDIANA JONES
series) and Laurence Fishburne (THE MATRIX Trilogy), APOCALYPSE NOW
so impressed the Cannes jury when shown as only a work in progress
that it won the Palme D’Or that year (tied with TIN DRUM).
Vittorio Storaro’s stunning cinematography and masterful sound
editing from the genius Walter Murch won the film deserved Oscars
and were just two of many awards the film has won over the years.
