Apocalypse Now: The Final Cut - EPIC SUMMER
A secret mission into the heart of the Vietnam War becomes a journey through chaos, violence and moral collapse.
During the Vietnam War, Captain Willard is assigned to locate Colonel Kurtz, an officer who has withdrawn deep into the jungle and established his own authority. As Willard travels further upriver, he is confronted with the absurdity, horror and destructive force of war. His mission evolves into a harrowing journey into the darkest corners of the human mind.
Tijdens de Vietnamoorlog krijgt kapitein Willard de opdracht om kolonel Kurtz op te sporen, een officier die zich diep in de jungle heeft teruggetrokken en zijn eigen gezag heeft opgebouwd. Terwijl Willard steeds verder stroomopwaarts reist, wordt hij geconfronteerd met de absurditeit, gruwel en ontwrichtende kracht van oorlog. Zijn missie groeit uit tot een confronterende tocht naar de duistere kanten van de menselijke geest.
