Starring Francis Ford Coppola, Eleanor Coppola, Orson Welles, John Milius, George Lucas, Tom Sternberg, Sam Bottoms, Albert Hall, Dennis Hopper, Harrison Ford [1], Robert Duvall, Marlon Brando
It's Francis Ford Coppola vs. natural catastrophe, crazy actors, the Philippine government and crushing self-doubt in this unbelievable account of the making of the 1979 classic Apocalypse Now. Behind-the-scenes location footage is combined with candid 1990 interviews of cast and crew members; the result is a fascinating portrait of a director plunged into the very obsession he sought to portray on film.
