'Apocalypse Now' is one of the greatest films of all time. With a script by crazed samurai-surfer, John Milius, Coppola transposed the action from the ivory trade in turn-of-the-century Belgian colonial Africa, to the Vietnam War in the late 60s. Its themes are madness and murder, history and colonialism, drugs and war, physical and metaphorical journies. The making of the film was almost as dramatic as the film itself, nearly costing Coppola his sanity and marriage and Martin Sheen his life. With over two-hundred entries, this is an encyclopaedic guide to all aspects of the film.
