The movie follows the epic, bloody and muddy trip of Captain Willard, sailing up the Nung River beyond the Cambodian border in search of the mysterious Colonel Kurtz. Deemed insane and a danger to the war effort, Kurtz must be terminated with extreme prejudice. But the closer he gets to Kurtz the closer he gets to his own heart of darkness, in a crepuscular finale. (StudioCanal UK)
