Apocalypse Now

On Blu-ray for the first time, this edition contains Apocalypse Now and Apocalypse Now Redux and over 5 hours of bonus material exclusive to Blu-ray, including new interviews with on-screen and behind-the-scenes talent, all in deluxe metal slipcase packaging! Heralded by many as the film that crystallises most perfectly the experience of the Vietnam War, Francis Ford Coppola's hallu­cinatory masterpiece APOCALYPSE NOW has been painstakingly restored by his own Zoetrope studios under his close supervision. 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. This highly anticipated Blu-ray Disc premieres in 1080P High Definition Widescreen. Also for the first time, these movies will be presented for home entertainment audiences in their original theatrical aspect ratios.
