During the Vietnam War, U.S. Army Special Forces Colonel Walter E. Kurtz has apparently gone insane and is waging a brutal guerrilla war against terrified NVA and PLAF forces without permission, directions, or resupply from his commanders. At an outpost in Cambodia, he commands American and Montagnard troops who see him as a demigod.Apocalypse Now full Movie Download.
Burnt out MACV-SOG operative, Captain Benjamin L. Willard, is summoned to I Field Force headquarters in Nha Trang. He’s briefed on the situation by two Army commanders and a CIA officer, and ordered to “terminate Kurtz’s command… with extreme prejudice“.
Willard, initially ambivalent, joins a U.S. Navy river patrol boat (PBR) commanded by Chief Petty Officer “Chief” Phillips, with crewmen Lance, “Chef”, and “Mr. Clean” to quietly navigate up the Nùng River to Kurtz’s outpost. Before reaching the coastal mouth of the Nùng, they rendezvous with the 1st Squadron, 9th Cavalry Regiment, a helicopter-borne air assault unit commanded by Lieutenant Colonel Bill Kilgore, to discuss safe passage. Kilgore is initially uncooperative as he has not received word about their mission through normal channels, but he becomes more engaged after discovering that Lance is a well-known surfer. The commander is an avid surfer himself and agrees to escort them through the Nùng’s Viet Cong-held coastal mouth. The helicopter squadron, playing “Ride of the Valkyries” on loudspeakers, raids at dawn, with Kilgore ordering a napalm strike on the Viet Cong. Before Kilgore can lure Lance out to surf on the newly conquered beach, Willard gathers the sailors to the PBR to continue their mission.
Tension arises as Willard believes himself in command of the PBR while Chief prioritizes routine patrol objectives over Willard’s. Slowly making their way upriver, Willard partially reveals his mission to the Chief to assuage his concerns about why his mission should proceed. As Willard studies Kurtz’s dossier, he is struck by the mid-career sacrifice Kurtz made by leaving a prestigious Pentagon assignment to join Special Forces, which afforded no prospect of advancing in rank past Colonel.
