Restored from the original negative for the first time ever, Apocalypse Now FINAL CUT is Coppola’s most realised version of his multi-awarded classic; a haunting journey into madness that has fascinated generations of movie lovers.
Apocalypse Now was nominated for 8 Academy Awards® (including Best Picture) and won 2 Academy Award® for Best Cinematography and Best Sound, 2 BAFTAs for Best Direction and Best Supporting Actor and the Palme d’Or in Cannes.

Coppola’s visually dazzling masterpiece is a surreal, hallucinatory, epic tragedy about the horror of the Vietnam War.
